    Default Northwest River 1/28


    Well the yellow perch wouldn't cooperate as much as I would have liked unless you want to count the many small ones. We did get a few nice ones along with about 14 nice crappie. The biggest weighed 1lb 5.5oz which for that river is pretty good.. I'm glad to hear Keith caught his first Black fish. Everybody needs to catch one of those once in a while.

    Or do you just want to volunteer to ask him if he fried or broiled it Bill?

    Hey guys I was thinking about you all while I was in scout master training. Wishing that I was pitching a line with you. I did notice that the water level was realy down on Northwest and Tulls. How was it today, I am going out Sunday am hope I can get what you all didn't get.What was the bait of choice? I want to get some minners but I would have to drive up to Gails then back down to Northwest, or south to Tulls. I don't know what time (if he is open) the bait shop down in coinjock. Then I would put in at a new place I was told about to go to Indiantown creek. Oh well.

    I caught most of my fish on jigs since they were the closest baits to the bottom on the rig I was using.

    Sonny and I did OK too but I'd have to say Bill was the un-official winner. A good time was had by all.
    My personal highlight had to be the striptease @ Bob's. (Inside joke, you had to be there)

    I had a good time. My boy had a fine time too, He did knock out for about 2 hours though. I took home 26 fish. I guess I did better than I thought. The biggest crappie I caught was 1lb 1oz, biggest perch was around 11 1/2" but I had 3 that were 14oz. I also took home a 20" striper. I took home some good fish but also some dinks. Due in part to my 7 year old that didn't hear me when I said throw it back. What does anyone consider a keeper perch? Because if it's at or near 9 1/2" i'll keep it. Well it's got to have shoulders as well.

    Reason I ask is because up in the little lakes in Michigan it was nothing to keep a 8"-9" yellow in certain lakes. They just don't get big in some area's. Now in the great lakes up there you may get yelled at for keeping anything under 13".
