Perch
The water is still very cold 36-37 degrees, and the perch are still very deep. I was able to see some very big female perch starting to pull up a little shallower about 20-25 foot on the Aqua Vu camera. Fishing was still pretty tough, but its getting better. The drop shot for sure seems to the most productive presentation.
