Rockport-Again

[DKSRenegade]

Took the wife to Rockport this morning. She is a fair weather fisher-woman so we took the tent with us.GOOD PLAN!! The wind blew most of the day. Started at 7:30 north west of the ramp in 46' of water. We did OK for the perch catching several in the 11" range. A far cry from the dinks at Jordanelle and better than last saturday at Echo. No trout though, so when we were through catching our perch dinner, we moved closer to the shore. We set up again in 26' of water and saw no action for about 1/2 hour. Then the feeding frenzy began. I was using a renegade tied on a jig head under a foxie jig and my wife was using a castmaster under a rat finkie. We both were tipped with wax and meal worms and smothered with smelly jelly. It was non stop action for about 1 and 1/2 hours. All rainbows. They ranged from 10" to 18" in size. We couldn't get them off and our line back in the water fast enough. The storm front started to blow in about 2:30 pm and we decided to get while the getting was good. The freeway was a mess going back to Roy but we made it home without any incident. All in all a great day [with my best friend] on the ice. DKSRenegade
