Lake Report

First time on the lake this year....water is still cold. Fished different coves here and there for 4 hours. Got 3 decent bass and 4 perch...saw two guys on a boat bring in about 10 perch...they were keeping some that were small enough to use for bait (7 and 8 inches), I know its legal but I frown upon keeping those size crappie or perch. Went for crappie and ended up getting skunked on those. Great time on the water though...hopefully the crappie will be showing up in the coming weeks.

Was out all day today with my buddie. We did ok. Total was 6 large mouth in the boat but nothing with much size. Largest was about a pound and a half. Still it was very nice to get bit. We lost a few as well. It is definately starting to pick up.

were those two guys in a red express jet? If so that was me, All those male perch were between 10" and 13". If we caught a bunch of fat 15" huge, breeder perch, would that okay to keep?? I never ever keep from fresh water, maybe a striper from the salt here or there, I felt like eating some perch, never had them before... Didnt commit a crime

The lake looks to be at or very close to full pool.

shillins no it wasn't you...it was a few older guys in a lowe boat. it is legal to keep any size perch and 10-13" is the perfect size for a pan. I just wanted to ask those guys why they were keeping such small perch, its those people that hurt the population....how many did you end up catching?? I wish I didn't have to go back up to school...won't be able to get back on the lake for a few weeks. tight lines...mark
