Just a Bunch of Perch on 6/2/2017

Type: Tidal
Region: Eastern
Location: Wicomico River

We Left the dock at 11:00 am and boat fished out of Cobb Island on 6/2/2017 in the northern part of the Wicomico River. We started in about 25 feet of water with no success. Next, we tried shallower water with a drift in about 10 feet and immediately started catching perch, some doubles. Threw many back but kept a few too. We used bloodworm and squid for bait. We repeated the drift many times until the wind picked up and the bite turned off. So we called it quits at 2:30.

If anyone is wondering why there's so much water in the cooler it's because before we start fishing, we add water from the river/bay and use large ice jugs to chill it. We found that it stays colder much longer and we are not marinating the fish in a foreign water created by melting ice chips. Also puts the fish out of it's misery much faster, we think.
