[cool]Went to the Rock today to try for a Perch Limit. Went on the West side (for my first time) at the 2nd outhouse. Was the first one on the ice, but I was out a little too far from where the Perch were. Fish-C-Mann was there about 20 yards in from where I was and graciously gave me a Perch eyeball to tip my hook with, and after about the 3rd Perch he caught and I hadn't had a bite yet, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out I wasn't in the right spot. Shortly after this I got on the horn and asked if any BFT'rs were in the neighborhood and Skinney-Lynnie gave a shout back. He was over by the dam and I said come on over, cause it was his first time at the Rock. Right after this, who else from this board would stroll on out to the ice but BFT's newest papa 2nd time over-CBR! That was a cool surprise, so anyway Craig drills a hole right by the booie (sp?) and I came in a little closer to Fish-C-Man and CBR, and catching finally got going.
I think I ended up with about 10 and CBR 16 or 17 and Fish-C-Man got his limit. The bite shut off promptly at 12 or so and never turned back on, so I left at 1:30. THe other two left at the perfect time, right when the bite shut off.
Fishing was a little slower than what I expected, but it was nice meeting Fish-C-Man and Skinney-Lynnie today, and it's always fun fishing with CBR.
