Another Good Bunch! Good Company! Next, Whitefish!

Wasn’t going to go yesterday but a new fishing friend and his son headed down. They got there pretty early. Me? I waited for the sun to come up! It was cold! 

Jarod and Leon caught over 50 yellows and a couple nice bass. I wish I got pics, but we ended up fishing like 300 hundred yards apart. I DID catch 3 perch with their stolen bait in them. They were using small goldens. No one else anywhere near us. The fish are definitely mobile! Not schooled in any numbers.  Just seems like small groups roaming a large area.

Here’s the last one I caught. Was picking up. Wicked pretty chunky male, about 13”. He’s the one on the bottom of the group pic too.  The rest I kept were like 9 - about 15ish. No 16’s the last couple trips. Only two like that so far.

Some good eating!

Ready for the knife!

Nice haul! I was fishing a couple of Sundays ago on a crappie pond and there was a bunch of nice yellows similarly arranged on the ice, that were left there by the guys fishing the day before. I don't understand why more people don't eat them? Plus, if you are going to waste them, you should understand that with perch you are just making room for more to grow.

Of the bass you caught, were they smallies? Also been hopeing to have better success on the yellow perch but it seems like the white Perch won’t stop attacking my lines. You said your looking for whites right?  “Up next Whites”. Haha let’s help each other out. Been nailing em on a #4 white blue tungsten with a spike or mousey

Yeah, All smallmouths. Caught one that was near 20”, a couple 18ish, and several 10 - 16ish. All released. Caught them over a mudflat basin. I imagine if you targeted them around the rock shoals, you’d do pretty good.

I’m not looking for white perch, except I may do a couple days on them to use on a rec halibut line. I never really liked white perch. They are strong and fishy compared to yellow perch. Whitefish is what I’m looking at. Not headed for them til next Wednesday. A buddy is coming down to fish Yellow perch Sunday. I’m gonna join him.

I’m after these guys and gals!
