Hit the water out of Akers yesterday at 9.50 with 4 people fishing and 3 scoops of their finest emeralds. Set up straight out near a few other boats! Nothing for 45 minutes let's move. Moved away from the pack 7.5 ft of water and fish on. Had a dozen by 11.20 when the rest of their friends showed up. Left at 4.30 with 130 perch. They liked minnows cut in half. Double the fish thrown back. One of my buddies forgot his gloves in his car so wore a sock on his hand so has justifiably earned the nickname socko lol. There still may be a couple more days left I'm game for those who are hearty enough.
