Perch Still Hanging Around in Bay.

This morning was clear and not too cold (about 48 degrees).  The bite was very short and fast.  By 6:45 am it was mostly over.  I kept two nice perch which were 9 and 11 inches.  I threw back a half dozen or so ranging from 5 to 8 inches.  I caught another small steelhead today but no big ones. 

Today I saw the first smallmouth bass of the season.  A gentleman beside me caught the 17 1/2 incher on a jig and boy was she full of eggs.  Yesterday right after I left, a fisherman supposedly hooked into a very large northern pike and had it up to the surface before it shook his hook. 

When you are fishing in the bay this time of year you never know what you are going to hook into.  I think with the weather changing tomorrow it may be a good day to fish.  Perhaps I will get up early again and head out.  Happy Hookin'
