5 Perch for me and one 6" Large mouth bass. LOTS of perch all over. But, they were all dinks. There were a couple in the mix that I could see that were big, but they preferred to let their cousins "Try it out" first.
Did mark fish on the bottom around the area of the perch nursery.. but not any real takers. Had one of the marks off the bottom on for a couple cranks.. but not long enough to feel a head shake.. so, I can only assume it was a 5 lb walleye [cool]
Finally got tired of playing with the swarms of perch. It was fun to bring them up to the side of the tube and see 30 - 50 perch watching my jig like a dog watches your hand when your eating sausage [
]
Found some floating moss and that's where the dink LMB came from.
Decided to try for trout (After I looked at my watch and realized I lost track of time playing with the puny perch). Kicked out into deeper water looking for them, never really marked any fish. Kicked around for a while before I had to go home. On the way back in, I spanked a couple more perch before I threw them back in the water, and gave several more a sore mouth, but no spanking.
Left the water @ noon.
