My Brother and I woke up at 4am this morning and headed towards Wicomico. I have a two seater canoe that I put on the back of the truck. Before arriving at the boat launch we stop at the Chaptico Deli for food and Ice. we launched at 6am and headed towards the sandy pointy looking for the early morning rock fish. The second cast I hooked on a nice fish. I knew it was not a white perch the way he pulled side to side. this my first nice size rock fish I have caught in this canoe. It felt great, it was a little over 18 inches. Between me and my brother we caught about 11 rock fish in a matter ov 20 minutes until the sun came out. they all measured from 8 inches to 18 inches(2 keepres). Then we started to fish for the beloved white perch. I don't know if anyone knows but I love catching white perch, I don't think my brother knows that. he kept asking me why I got so excited for such a little fish. I couldn't really explain it to him, but I sure showed it to him every time. I definatly had lots of memories of Carl out there, I will always be greatful. Final count was 96 white perch(most small, "SOUP FISH") and 11 rock fish.

I got home and fillet the some of the perch, Carl would of been proud. I told my neighbor yesterday about going fishing and told him ill bring him some back. So when I got back I put some in a cooler and put it in his front door. An hour later he returned them and said that white perch are to small for his taste. I guess some people just don't understand. Sorry about the pictures, when Dan and I go back on wednesday we will get some pictures.

Mo, did you fillet them for your neighbor? Maybe he meant it's too much work to fillet so many fish? I know I'd rather fillet one big snakehead than 10 WP for the same amount of meat!
