I sleep in today or should I say yesterday . Didn't take off for Jordanelle till about 9:00 am from SLC . I just hate it when I fall asleep . Started out at Hailstone and fished by the marina . Nailed 4 small perch and 1 chunky 12" smallie . Decided too many boats so I ventured to Rock cliff area . Not to crowded there either . Started out throwing from shore and had small perch hitting every throw . Most on the small size , 6" and smaller . Tried throwing some bass gear at the trees , now the trees have about $20 of my tackle . Some ones got to feed those trees . LOL Finally got the tube out and headed out to find some bigger perch and maybe a bass or 2 . Wind was kind of a problem , but fought the white caps anyways . Started catching some more perch but still small keep moving and started fishing some flooded brush . Got to love that flooded brush pulled about 30 fish out of there . Made one pass and all the sudden I see this huge shadow coming for my jig . Bam !!!!!!! , smallie on !!!! Wouldn't you know it my camera was giving me fits and I didn't get a good pic of this 19" toad . Caught lots of perch today , maybe 100 or so but nailed a 19" , 16" , 15" , 2- 14", 12", and 2- 8 " smallies . Man what a blast . Caught them on a jig that I owe Tube Dude for introducing it to me . One of his bait bugs in my version . All bass and most perch were caught on it . I think I found my honey hole for next weekend !!!!!!! I did catch a 12 " perch with about 10 perch in the 10" range and many more 8" ers . I ended up bringing home 19 perch . Was showing someone the size of perch I was catching and one got away . LOL Man I wish I had a bass boat . I ready to tear them up , guess I will do it in a tube . Got pics but will wait till tomorrow to get devolped . Got to wait for the cutie at the camera bar to be there . LOL Had a very close encounter with a bull moose on the water today at Jordanelle . What a treat to see one swim right by you . Wow this only took me 3 beers to write .I must be getting faster at typing . LOL tight lines

Great to hear you did good! I've tried The nelle at rockcliff but couldn't find any submerged brush. Probably looking in the wrong place. Is this stuff along the shoreline on the same side as the sticks or do you paddle across to the other side and fish that shoreline? I have seen tubers floating out in the middle and catching fish I guess it all depends on where the fish are.

Flooded brush is everywhere there . Even close to shore . I hooked into something nice on a senko casting from where I parked my truck but it threw the hook . Some people call this form of flooded brush just snags . LOL I went thru alot of gear , but well worth it . I am hoping with more people out on the water saturday maybe some one could get a pic of me kissing one of these bad boys . LOL No tubers close when I hooked the smallies so it was hurry back in the water . Water temp at the marina area was 82 , didn't use fish finder in rock cliff but felt very warm .

I can't see the jig picture but it looks like you need a new net. Pictures are nice but would like to see more of those fish. Like the rest of the body.

Now I can see the pan full of perch, but all of the other pictures are just a red X. Strange how I can see them once and now they are gone?
