Nice mixed bag
Yesterday after work I loaded up and headed out to see if I could do better than I did on Saturday. Pleased to say that yes, I had a busier trip. By a bunch.
Pretty good breeze, air temp at 68 and that water out from the beach was also at 68. I launched and had the first line in the water at 5:20 and this little bass was the first fish in the boat at 5:21!
Trolling wasn't producing so moved over closer to shore and began casting the shallows. The 'gills are spawning on the beds and the action was non-stop. I returned all that I caught but nearly every cast produced a hard fighter.
I really wanted some crappie and headed back out to find some. Found this first one on the troll out along the drop off on a rocky edge.
Even the perch were interested in my trolled lures, I scored 5-6 of them but not as big as this first one, a bit under 11".
Moved over to an area that was a bit calmer and where I knew there was a weedier drop off. First cast there rewarded me with another of our target species. I'd work that area for rest of the night and got a couple more smaller crappie, a bunch more bluegill and bass, too.
Had a fly over of an eagle, too but the picture was pretty blurry. But the sun wasn't moving so fast that I couldn't get a good picture, burning red from the smoke from the fires in Western Canada.
I would troll my way back to the beach and pulled in the lines about 8:15. I can't even put an estimate to the 'gills caught so I won't. It was a bunch. I think it was 5 crappie, 1 pickerel, the already mentioned yellow perch, and probably 8-9 bass from 6" up to 11" or so.
Amazing trip for sure.
Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.Dexterpreacher LIKED above post

The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along
Awesome mixed bag. That one fine pond if you ask me. Thanks for sharing
