Went to the well one too many times! Took the grandson fishing for perch, but they weren't too interested. Graphed tons of them below the boat, but only dinks seemed to be interested. At age two, Freddy was plenty happy with his catch. Wind came up and we departed after a good boat ride! Mike

Definitely wasnt the best day but we came with 16 perch between the 3 of us. Caught 15 at one hole and all the old honey holes were dry.

I was there last Wed for bass and we caught quite a few between 12" and 15" nice solid fish. Air temp was 44 degrees in the morning and water temp was 55 degrees, warmed up to 58 degrees at 2:00. Definitely not like last year when we were catching 3 lbers in Oct but water temps were in the mid to high 60's then.

A lot of those fish have been fried up and eaten.

We fished last weekend also and the perch sure slowed down from last month. We only got 2 or 3 perch. The craw-daddy trapping was also a big dud, only 2, comapared to 50+ last month in an overnight dunk[:/]. At least we finally found some of those dandy cj crappies though. We had to work for them but it was worth it.

That image of the growth rates on those smallies is incredible. I'd rather eat the perch and crappie anyway! Lets let those bass grow up. I fish on the east side of the state and I catch a lot of different species, but pound per pound those smallies are the toughest in my opinion. Great game fish.

I agree, I C&R all bass. If you're going to keep any, make it the 12" to 14" ones. Let the big ones spawn. JMO

I haven't been since that last update but we mainly worked the western edge of the narrows from 5' to 30' with white jigs for the crappies we caught. It seemed like drifting and casting was most effective for the 15 or 20 crappies we brought to boat in 2 days fishing.. so it was quite slow but some the fish were real nice. Also mornings , and afternoon /evening was best both days we had huge lags without a bite for 2 hours from 1230 - 230 or so..

Good. Took us a while to find them, but once we did we were 2 fisting them. Brought home 62 nice sized perch. No Crappie.
