Bummer. My commiserations. Starvy can be fickle...like all waters.
In years past...before the perch decline...there were more walleyes and bigger walleyes...and they seemed to be more fisherman friendly during the early months. However, I have always done better from about the first or second week of June...post spawn and after the water gets over 60-65 degrees.
I commend you for letting discretion outweigh the valor and getting off the water before you couldn't. Us old guys gotta remind ourselves sometimes that we ain't as tough as we used to was...and we ain't immortal.
