I just got off Hillsdale, caught lots of fish, some fat, nice, nine inchers. Had four keepers and lost a couple at the boat. I never did stop catching but sure takes a lot of small ones to get a keeper. I caught them on jigs in ten feet of water on the Big Bull. Fished the little Bull yesterday and same thing, lots of small fish, not enough keepers to clean. All were close to trees or thick brush. Nothing hit unless you fished right at the tree or in the brush. Good Luck to you and grandpa.
