Slipping in the mud, splashing in the water, slaying perch at Rockport

[MWScott72]

I was out at RP yesterday too fishing in 39 FOW and had very little issue getting the smaller perch back down (as verified watching them swim back down on my finder). Some took a minute or two before deciding to go down, but most made it without too much issue. I found that as long as you throw them back in head first or “torpedo” them down the hole, that was all it took.
