went to the suffolk lakes sunday and fished 1/2 a day. with the light breezes it was not to bad out there fishing. now with the report. I was fishing the same pattern as get the net except i caught a load of white perch also. no jumbo crappie with the biggest at 13". I caught fish the whole morning including cat fish up to 8 lbs and one jumbo gar. i stopped by the bait store this morning and picked up some med size minnows [first time this year] and gave them a try. i started catching fish on jigs then for some reason i kept getting short strikes. when i got ready to leave i found the 1/8 jig i was casting had lost the barb and thats accounts for the short strikes. Felt like a big dummy. the fish i caught today were in 30 ft of water and suppened at 15 to 20 ft deep. Had the lake almost to myself. see yall on the water. tite lines JIM.B
