Figured with the warmer temps this weekend a co worker and I would head to the bay of empty for a quick fish before dark. There was between 6-8" of good ice to be found, and we noticed right away the crappie were suspended and had lock jaw, the perch on the other hand were down in the weeds and willing to play. Again I lost the tallboy bets as he caught the first and biggest perch of the evening (all released to fight another day), a good way to end the work week
