Fished the morning incoming tide at Marron St. Got there around 8:00 a.m. Set up with a Carolina Rig on 4# test. Used Kalin's 1.5" Motoroil gold and red flake Grubs.

The action was non stop for Barred Perch. Most were dinks around 4" but managed a couple of "Brutes" :) in the 9 to 10" range. The water was real clean as I was there for around 3 hours and didn't have to remove any salad at all. Tried the slow vrs. fast retrieve with the slow crank being the most productive.

Interesting to note that one of the little guys had a wound around the tail area that had healed. I could see the teeth marks that were left behind. I'm thinking maybe a Flattie took a swipe at him at some point in time. Also, brought one in that had a what appeared to be a saltwater leach attached to his side. It was black about the size of a dime and oval shaped. I removed it.

At any rate, I'm really enjoying grubbing for Perch. I just bought a 7'6" Shimano V rod and married it to my Shimano Stradic 4000. I can hardly wait until winter when the heavies come in to spawn! All fish released. I lost count after 20 fish today. Yesterday I did equally as well if not better. Those larger ones caught today fought like hell on the light gear. Always fun to see the looks on the kid's faces that wre always playing in the sand near by when you land a nice one. Sometimes their parents get a little fired up as well! :7

Tight Lines!
