Different water, different results, 5-12

Another nice day here in CT and I decided to take another trip once I finished up my work for the day.
I pushed off the beach about 4:50, in to a pretty strong breeze from the NE once again. It hadn't been too bad for most of the day but I did notice it gaining strength as the afternoon wore on. Made it tough to visit and stay in the areas I wanted to cast to so I ended up trolling for most of the trip. A couple of quick, average size bluegill were the first fish in the boat but I couldn't snap a picture of either. Then got into a couple of average perch.

Bluegill and perch would be the main catch of the evening. Only hooked one crappie, a nice one at that, but lost it at the side of the boat as I juggled the net and the rod while trying to scoop him up. Just a short time later this nice 'gill took the RoadRunner.

I moved in close to shore in a bit of a cove trying to get out of the wind for a while. All I found there were small 'gills and perch, and a small pickerel. I gave that up before too long and headed back to the landing and picked up this perch and a small bass.

They would be the last of the night as I'd had enough of the wind and called it a night about 7:20.

Totals would be a shy dozen 'gills, 7-8 perch and 1 each bass and pickerel.

Nice colors on those fish, thanks for sharing

Those perch are some fine table fare

Another good short trip. Keep it up. Tight lines.

Another successful day. Good job.

Good job, I've never caught a perch but would love to.

The perch seem to thump it pretty good but don't really put up too much of a fight. Bluegill fight much harder.
