I must agree with you, we almost give up perching, I have a friend who has a friend that does commercial perching thru there and was telling me he had a very good year last year, although he fishes from Cleveland to ???, I think that may contribute to the low numbers, I hope they do not become obsolete like the blue fin, I never even heard of the blue fin till I had moved near my 90 year old neighbor who told me all about it, lets hope the fish and wildlife get more involved., and thanks for the heads up on the debris,
