I just got back from SFCR. Man what a day! Perch were thick all over and nice sized. Bass were amazing! I got 16 bass over 14" long. I managed to find a couple of 14" walleyes and a couple of crappie. My fishing buddy netted over 100 fish today, most were small bass. He caught a lot of perch and several crappie.
We came home with a few of the crappie and 30 perch over 11" and a lot of them were very heavy and thick.
We left about 2:00 because the water was too rough to fish. Ron

So what area were you in ? I almost went to goose island tonight, but I just couldn't get the energy to get going, needed a push

That's great news idahoron. We where just sitting around at work today talking about SFCR, wondering if anything was biting yet. I best get down there before it gets to hot.

Michael, I put a trolling motor on my FC9, and Dan used my son's ODC Sport no motor. He stayed about 1 mile from the truck and I got stupid and covered 6 miles with the trolling motor ( i used my GPS for milage). Man if that battery would have quit I would have had a big row back.
I got the endura 40 on sale and I have a 25 dollar off cupon so I got it for 130. The battery is 6 years old. Man I got lucky. The battery got me to the truck not much more. Ron

Praise God for that, huh.
So did you make it down to goose island or up to goose island. I just think that area would be great about now.
I thought I was going to have my Willys at a car swap today but got hung up trying to get ready this morning and then the wind came up. Imagine that[:p]
So I started getting the fly gear ready for the guided trip I won on the South Fork of the Snake through South Fork Outfitters. My wife, Gloria, is going with me and will be taking picutres and enjoying the ride. I am praying for an awesome day. This is something I don't think we'll get to do again, the guided trip I mean.
What do think of those footballs they caught at CJ. What size were the crappie you guys found? Did they just hit on a jig or bass gear or what? Be nice to get some a little closer to home.
My son works weekends but gave me a Fathers day gift of a fishing day on a Saturday, he'll get the time off, so I thought I would try to make it a Friday camping trip to CJ and fish on Saturday.
Anyways, I need to get to SFCR it's been tooo long! PErch would be nice crappie would be better but the eyes, the eyes, it's all about the eyes.
Thanks for the report! 6 miles wow, so was that Grays to the Backwaters and back?
