Brock,I bought MY and Ohio non resident fishing license for years not to mention NY,WV,and Ohio hunting licence for years..... I'll report on the perch bite. I bought a 16' Crestliner,so it's will be playing around with the new boat and lorance elite that came with it. The guy I bought it from said it cost $1100. I saw it for $900 in Cabelas. 

Ahhhhh, the world of electronic technology...... new today, obsolete tomorrow.

Yinz gotta love it.

It's early up at PI,but you know gotta be impatient.... Tried our go to spots from 8-1:30.... Water temps 37.5-39.5....not a single hit... made another move back to spot number one. Water temps 39.5 it warmed up 2 degrees since morning. Perch and steelhead where there. We picked through them...28 came home... Definitely not great or even good to me... Fish where not that great 9" 13", quite a few 8"-8.5" that we didn't consider keeping. First trip,getting familiar with the boat went well,ready for better action next week. No emerald shiners,they only had small golden shiners and fatheads. We went with the golden's I guess they worked ok. I jigged up quite a few on a pink spilt tail tipped with 2-3 grubs.Steel liked that....fresh fish fry tomorrow, Friday lent special,fish,
fries and cole slaw. I bought 4 dozen minnows,fished all day,son and I and probably have 12-15 doze in the bucket. Lost about a dozen, but gave them fresh creek water and got the aerator on them. They should be ready for next week...lol Hear good perch reports from Pymy.. might slip up there before my next PI trip.
