Hit Jordanelle Thursday morning with Watkinator. Had to leave that night and just got back, so it's a bit late in coming.
We hit the water about 6:00 at the PWC ramp at Hailstone (thanks for the recommendation, TD). Between the two of us we probably caught close to a hundred fish. They ranged anywhere from this monster...

to this 11-incher...

with an assortment of everything in between.
Many thanks go out to TubeDude for fixing me up with a few of his famous PBJ plungers--they really did the trick! They even caught fish who just happened to be passing by the general area (don't ask me how this one got himself in such a quagmire)!

The vast majority of the fish were perch, but there were the occasional smallies who came around to play, ranging from 9-16 inches.

Watkinator had a good time bringing that one in on a little ice rod...

The wind was fairly calm, but got howling pretty bad later in the morning/early afternoon.

Overall we had a great time. We kept about 10 that were ripe for the frying and several more dinks to use for Lincoln Beach kitties.

That was my first fishing/tubing trip at Lake X, and it definitely won't be my last!
Again, special thanks go out to TD for his generosity and great advice!
