[#0000FF]Thanks. I was demazed at all the perchy marks I saw on multiple screens...in many locations. I'm sure it was not the same ones following me around.
This year's 9 and 10 inchers will spawn next spring and will probably grow an inch or two. I kept about 30 perch today and all were egg-laden females. But I doubt I torpedoed the population for the next generation.
I was reckymembering today, as I dropped a few 9 inchers in my basket, that 9 inches used to be the cutoff point for TubeBabe and I for "basket fish". Those healthy 9 inchers can produce worthwhile fillets. But it has been a couple of years since many perch of any size have been showing up so I kinda got outta practice.
Based upon the numbers I witnessed just in one area of the lake today, I am guessing that it will be worthwhile hitting Starvation through the ice again this year...if it freezes over.
