Waiting for Spring

Here's a picture of the first perch I caught last year on the Pratt Pier. He was a little guy, I threw him back, but I was able to reused the worm. Funny thing about those little perch is that they hardly ever swallow the worm before they get hooked. I think I had a dozen worms last me a couple of weeks before, sometimes I'll fish all day with just one or two of them. My wife is cool enough to let me keep them in the fridge too.
