Smith Creek and doplphins

[Big Mike]

Went to Smith Creek this morning and on my way out to the fishing grounds I came across a small pod of dolphins. Sorry about the picture, in the far left side you can see one breaching. I thought to myself, what a great omen. On my first two passes down the rock wall I caught these impressive white perch on a 4" Z-man and they both had inhaled it. After that, not so much. One dink rock and then a couple of croakers. Wind was dead calm but I would have liked a small breeze to keep the gnats and flies off me. They were bad today. Lunch on the other hand, will be good

I live on the Shipping Creek side of Kent Island and the Dolphins have passed through a couple of times over the last few weeks.

Those perch are real good eating size, nice work!

One thing about perch I've notice, and this is no great revelation, but it's amazing how much fatter they get as they get above 10". The smaller one in your pic is only about a half inch shorter, but he must weigh at least 20% less.

My wife won't eat any fish with a bone in it, thus I have to filet everything if she is going to eat with me. The big one gave me at least 30% more meat than the one that was only an inch shorter. It's also why I only keep big White Perch.
