Got a call from Riverdog this morning. He says " Lets go fishing i think they might be in now " I had planned to change the wheel bearings on my trailer today but i was easily led astray by his suggestion. I grabbed 3 dozen minnows and was off. 15 minutes after wetting our lines we knew we were in for a show. As fast as we could take them off and get our line back in was the pace for the first 2 hours, then they disappeared. We caught the odd one but they were few and rather far between. Lost track of the numbers but managed another personal best for perch. 14" was my biggest and there was alot that were close. Minnows attached to a small jig under a slip bobber was my meal ticket. Can't wait to get back out. Riverdog says " It only gets better " Here are some pics of the bigger ones that i caught.

24\7. The reason some of the fish were bloated was because they were full of eggs and it was kind of hard to keep them alive in the pail i was using even though i was changing the water.
