It was pretty warm Idk the temp but my hands didn't get cold picking up the spread ,still a lot of weeds to next week I may go try it one evening after my new waders come in

I need to buy a freaking thermometer and keep it handy when I'm at pyme I was thinking I should go extra early some time and few for a bit before we toss decoys who knows maybe get a nice cast&blast going

   My first experience with Jumbo perch was in P.I. through the ice. The first one I caught was a true 14"+ perch. It looked like some kind of ocean fish coming up that hole. I caught 7 perch that day all 12"+.
    Reel me back in fellas I am off topic again. Back to topic, I have never waded for fall eyes, nor have I fished for perch in the fall. So many things yet to do. I do get some eyes and crappies in the fall. Mostly on vibes and minnies, in Pymy.
