Ran to the Bend last weekend to drown some shiners and try our luck with the perch. we had a good time, as the action was fast enough to keep us from fishing more than one rod at a time for most of the trip. the water is getting right as the temps continue to drop. the water temp was 53* both mornings with air temps below freezing most of the morning. we're fishing deep, about 30'. the shad are abundant and the perch are gorging on them. here's a few pics.. that bird potlicked us both days!
