Perch are definitely going shallow. Only thing out deep are the dinks roaming with the whites and yellows. That's from my experience anyway.

Just heard at work that a four wheeler went through yesterday and a guy walking out went through yesterday. Both out off marble beach! I think it's time to stick to west lake! That makes what 4 four wheelers in 2 weeks and now walkers are goin through!
