Invasion of the perch snatchers

[misfish]

Tried my luck one more time fishing the Barrie marina this morning. With a cold front, I was not over excited. Set up where I was getting them last outing. The bite was pretty good to my surprise. It would seem the males were the most active, as that seem to be all I was getting. Nothing big, but all males. There was some pretty good movement going on. I was sure it was the perch busting the surface on shiners . My float goes down, set the hook on what seem to be a small perch, then I almost had the UL ripped out of my hand with a big tug. Then it was gone. My perch and my jig. Snatching pike action. Not much of a chance with 4 pound test.LOL I guess he/she and others had moved in, as the perch action was nil after that. Moved around a few spots, but it would be the same. Dink males, then action would die quick.

Today was the opening of the marina and I was asked politely if I would leave by the attendant when he arrived. Well if you call, Hey Brian, time to get out. LOL Ya we knew each other and I knew the day had come. Worked my way out to the edge of the entrance to try my luck, but that N/W wind was narly. Called it a morning.

One more weekend before the opener, then that will be it for them yella bellies.

Been a fun ice out experience on the toon.

There are thousands right now. I snuck in there yesterday morning for a early 5:30 am fish. Picked up a 2+ large mouth. Thought it was the mother perch of all.
