Loads of perch and a nice walleye

Late Saturday a friend and I decided to give some perch and crappie a shot. Got a late start and didn't start fishing until around 3:30. Overcast and a bit windy but fishing was good. Crappie didn't cooperate but perch fishing was on fire as we lost count during 4 hours of fishing, keeping a dozen or so for the table. Found a good concentration of primarily males holding in slightly shallower water, moved a bit deeper and found non stop action with larger mostly female fish. All were caught on jigs under a float. With all the pan fish in the area, thought maybe there'd be some walleye cruising around at witching hour. Switched over to a swim bait and first cast hooked this beautiful 28.5". Few pictures and she swam off strong. Great way to end the day and start the season.
