Well fellow fisherpeople,
I guess I've lost the knack. Several years ago I was able to go to Jordanelle and catch all the big guys(small mouth) I could handle. Early on it was even from shore! Getting old and lossing my touch? I just spent a full day fishing hard from my tube and caught a zillion perch and only a few bass (largest 14in.). Bud and I had a good time with him swimming all day but not nearly as fish successful as I had hoped. It was in the 90's, pretty calm, forgot to measure water temp. Had to be in the 60's. A tolerable amount of boating. Am getting more tollerant. None of the perch were good size, kept a few for dinner. Fished shallow, points, bays, deeper water, etc. Don't have a fish finder so don't really know what's underneath, but fished my normal productive areas. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong may help.
P.S. Dude - Bud decided to show up in time for fishing even though you didn't give him up!
