Thread: Norman 10/10

Started out around 4:30pm. Went to an old stand by and snagged a few keepers along with one or two shorts. Right before dark we moved to a particular dock with a light and immediately got bit. Several shorts, then right at night fall when the light turned on it got crazy with shorts, small perch, and several keepers. Finally turned over to keepers. Ended up with 2 large white perch, 18 crappies 8-13", several in the 10" range. All total we probably threw 10 back, along with several small white perch, a few small yellow perch, and largemouth and a spot. Went through 4doz minnows with some decent perch starting to bite. Oh well. Did see one striper cruise through the light, a bit early yet, another month and it shall be on with the linesiders under the lights. Right before the winds kicked up, the fish started to "feed up". Missed several in that unexpected change of bite, before the settled back into a normal bite.

Good job Treed, love to catch them stipers under the lights. Boats broke right now, hope to get back next weekend.

good job Treed...gotcha a mess for the skillet anyways.

Yeah... been a pretty good fall thus far. First time out this fall a couple weeks ago coulda probably scrapped out a 2man limit, possibly 3 if we woulda measured them, and last two times we've put enough in the boat to feed the family a couple times each. Lastnights fish were deffinately decent quality, they were feeding 3" shad. We generally catch a few 14-15"ers in the winter there when we break out the 3" & 4" tsunami swim shads for the stripers.
