Better late than never. Worked over 40 even with Monday off. I think Kevin and Tim asked how I was doing on thier way back. I was fishing mostly around the park in 12' drops. I chose to anchor instead of troll and after 1200 it worked. I only had two keepers before noon. Most fish hugged the bottom and moved on and off the drop sporadically. Caught 36 fish with 7good size perch (most male) and 9 good crappie. They were all light bite and hard to get. Most came on redish color jig tipped with a small minnow.
