Hit the southwest shore around 8 just before the winds switched from N to NE. 27" pig 'eye on second cast. As soon as the wind switched, it was impossible to cast. Fish was STUFFED full of shad. Normally I'd let one that size go but I didn't even realize how big it was till I had it on the cutting board. The wind and rain was nuts out there
The deep water perch bite.....is on!
