Kent, did you get any medium or big perch at Jordanelle? It is good to hear that the authorities were nice about driving to the ramp over there.
Kastmaster and I, along with our young fishing buddies (our daughters) also hit Rockport, and we also can give a good report. We fished the 2nd outhouse area. Got on the water at 9:00 and started at 33 ft. That is basically where we ended because we were into the perch. We had nonstop bites there until we left. kastmaster and daughter rung up a limit and I voluntarily stopped at 30 between me and my 3 yr. old because that was how many I wanted to fillet. My little fishing buddy was also getting a little balky and we needed to go on a sled tour of the lake and find a downhill sledding hill to play on. It didn't take me very long to catch the 30. I was very pleased with sizes today. The average was between 9- 10 inches. Very few small ones. They were still biting voraciously when we left that spot. The kids were starting to have more fun around 11:30 and we were full on perch, so George and I tried for some trout in shallower water. I picked up one small rainbow and lost another but that was it for the trout. Between the fast action and watching the kids we didn't get to the raffle and get-together. Our loss. It sounds like a good day for everyone.
