just got back from jordanelle. got on the water about 7 pm in the tube, fished untill 945 pm. caught more perch than i knew what to do with. also caught 1 6" walleye, my first, and i'm so proud that my first one was so freakin' enormous! caught all those on various curly tails. but at about 915 when the sun had just gone down and the water turned to glass we went to a little deeper water and switched to perch colored countdown rapalas and my buddy nailed a 14" smallie and about 5 mins. later i got a 21" 6.75 lb. monster. man what a fight he put up. i had 4 lb. test on ultrlight tackle and it took nearly 10 mins. of lettin him play to get him in. what a rush. it was easily the biggest bass i've ever seen with my own eyes and i've caught some bigguns up there before. that fish alone was worth the $9 price of admission. just wish i had my camera, every time i think i'll go get a new disposable one to keep in the tube i'm gettin a late start so i skip it, but not anymore. oh yeah,, one more thing, the key to the perch is go very small tackle and just keep reelin'it in, if you stop the lure they hit but its hard to hook em.
gonna go back up next weekend with the boat this time, so i'll post another report then.
