Nice mixed bag
Although the breeze was a bit stronger than I'd hoped for, I packed up the gear and set off to hopefully give a few fish a sore lip. I launched about 4:30, with the air temp at 72 and the water temp just about 70. I trolled along in roughly 15' of water and hooked the first perch of the evening just a few minutes in.
Once again, it would be a perch and bluegill trip; never found a single crappie. I rowed across the basin over to a shallow rocky area and found a bunch of of eager biters there. Action was fast single pole casting around that shallow water. More perch, bass, mixed sunnies and a couple of small pickerel kept me busy. Got this colorful pumpkinseed mix there in the shallows.
I got back to trolling and continued landing fish every so often. Even the bass were interested in my offerings on a regular basis. Not too big at 10-11" but fun anyway.
The deeper water trolling found the bigger bluegill, too. They really liked my grayish minnow tube. I didn't snap any pictures of them unfortunately. Wind was keeping me busy. Found a few nice ones at 8-8 1/2" in the deeper water; really like the way they hit and fight!
I got snagged and had to retie on one line so called it a night about 7:15.
I'd had a productive trip, with roughly 15-20 each of the perch and bluegill, 7-8 bass and 4 small pickerel.
Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.crp4570, CTPanfisher LIKED above post

The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
Great to see you out again. Glad the fish are co-operating and you are well. Keep up the good times. Tight lines.
Very nice, thanks for taking me along
