Not what we were originally fishing for, but this large smallmouth bass was a lot of fun to catch! Thought it was a sheephead at first. The other bass was about 5 inches larger than the fish pictured.
Perch fished with Joe and John H. The temperature in the morning was in the upper 50's and by noon it was in the middle 80's. The wind was out of the WSW 10 to 15 knots with waves 2 - 3 feet, but it laid down by the time we quit fishing.
We fished 3.5 miles Northeast of Sputnik (41 51 825 / 083 08 750). Had to move several times before we found some fish and the bite was pretty good until we caught 2 large smallmouth bass, then the fishing slowed down. Made a few more moves, then called it quits for the day. Kept 47 perch between 8 and 10 inches, with most of them around 9 inches. Picked up our bait at Lake Erie Party Store, a mixture of chubs and shiners. Next trip we will stop at the harbor on the way to our marina for bait.
Next Planned Trip: Monday, 09/10/07 Fishing with Daryl before work.
