A Decent Day Out.

Finally got out. Wanted some nice crappie, but got a decent mix instead:

Crappie, perch, and gills. Threw a bunch of small guys back, including some nice pickerel (too bony for me). I went threw 2 dozen minnows and resorted to lures. A nice day for me even though I got burnt to a crisp. Doh My tender hide is not used to the sun with all the rain we've had.

Looks like a fun day. Looks like you got it all within reach - what a nice setup. How tasty are those yellow perch? I've always heard they are delicious, but they are uncommon down south. I actually caught a few on Kentucky Lake once many years ago, but my buddy kept all the fish on that trip.

Yellow perch are delicious. When you can find a school of them sometimes the fishing can be fast and furious.

kb it looks like you did have a good day. Were you trolling or casting? What style of fishing and what kind of baits do you use? Love to hear your styles.

I started off dropshotting the minnows, and when I ran out of bait I casted and trolled. I really don't have any particular style (just ask my wife), I just try what ever I think might work. This particular day was a really good one for me.

That a nice catch. Gotta love those mixed bag days. Those perch are some mighty fine eating for sure.
