Norman 3-1

Well i report it good or bad. today we didnt burn them up, but it didnt stink.

had a nice glaze of ice covering the entire boat by the time we reached the ramp about 715.

fished hard all morning. no birds working, nothing guiding me to any feeding frenzies, so just fished the traditional way of "this is where they should be"

ended with 1 striper about 7lbs, a pile of jumbo perch (15ish) and 5 hybrids released.
ran into "hooksetter" wanting my autograph on the water

Thanks for the report!

Sounds to me like a decent day fishing. I wouldn't mind an autograph myself!

[teamhooksetter]

Sounds like a good day for ya. We ended up with a pile of perch ourselves and a few nice sized bass. Topped the day off with a 4ft gar. Got off the water before lunch. Had things to do in the afternoon. Like Pete said, there was no signs of life where the fish were caught. Just 2 lonely ole boats.

Thanks for the report

Pete, are you still trolling A-rigs with lead core around this time of the year?

[kercha83]

I try to find lead core line locally but cant seem to find any.

[jrc62]

I had to order lead core. I guess there's not enough people using it around here to justify selling it. Just started using it this year myself. It does work good! I use to only use downriggers but thanks to Pete, now troll both.

Bass Pro Shops in Concord usually has it. If I'm not mistaken it is over in the corner where the saltwater stuff is near the bait baskets on that back wall.
