A couple or us boaters hit RP ourselves yesterday. Beelined for the same spot on the W side, but the usual suspects weren't school-up like
the past two weeks. Might explain a substantial drop in aggression and pickier tastes. Could also have used a tad more wind. Two boats and a tuber, (Freakyfisherman) were getting one here/one there, but nothing like a just a week ago. Surprisingly, not a bass to be found, eventho small bass baits, along with 4" grubs, caught the bigger perch. Most shorelines are flush with 2-3" minnows, which should make for some fatty
perch to be iced this winter.
Buddy & I hit Jordy this morning, fishing from 7-10:30. Hadn't been there in nearly two months. Kept an eye on the ramp and fortunately there was no line of early Labor Day tuna boat launchers. Water about the same as RP, at 68. Had fun with aggressive smallies that were off rocky points, over 8-14' of water. Hardly any bites in sandy/muddy bays. Most fish in the 10-11" range, but my buddy landed an 18+ on the last cast, over only 7'. 4" grubs the ticket today.
