    Default More fishing.................


    Fished Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, we caught about a hundred total. Mostly yellow perch to 13 inches, crappie to 13 inches and those greenies sure keep you busy. Lost a huge YP yesterday, threw the hook right at the boat, I’ve caught them to 14 inches and this one was one of the biggest I’ve ever seen. They were hot on medium minners about 18-20 feet, we did catch a few late in the evenings on small crankbaits in 6-8 feet. Saturday was one beautiful day to be on the water, what difference yesterday with gusts to 30 MPH. Wish I could go tomorrow, the warm temps should bring them up and make them hungry. The YP we caught Sunday had been stuffing themselves with baby bluegills, almost every one was spitting up little bluegills. We kept about 5-6 each day for the pan, those YP eat better than crappie. Water temps all three days- 45-48.

    Good luck if you get to go.

    Does it cost anything to fish there this time of year?

    Good to see that your getting out and catching some good fish, nice report. I agree with you that the yellow perch taste better than the crappie.

    I think they taste they same with the yellow perch having a firmer meat.
