Fishing today was great. Not sure if I just got lucky, but didn’t have to move at all.
I set up in 45’ of water and caught 2 decent 8” perch right away. Drilled a hole closer to shore and set up a dead stick for trout. Caught 3 more perch in the mean time but no love on the trout setup.
Wind picked up a bit and I contemplated moving when I caught my first jumbo 9 3/4” but fat! So I setup my tent and drilled a couple more holes inside. Got all comfy and continued to catch perch until about 12:30 when I packed up and tried for trout in another location. Shortly after getting settled in the tent I got a bruiser of a bow on a tube jig around 13’ down. I horsed it too much but did have it started up the hole at one point. It broke off and broke my dreams of putting some numbers up on the contest thread.
