Last Day of Summer


Fished with Big Booth. Temperature this morning was 70 degrees and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s, summer time weather. The wind was out of the southeast less than 10 knots and the waves were less than a foot. The water temp is 68 degrees. Started fishing by the N buoy and only caught one small perch so we moved out to the number 13 buoy. Had a few bites but no keepers so we headed out to our hot spot from last year. For the second trip in a row we caught no fish there. Moved 4 miles to the northwest and started to catch some fish. The catching was slow and the size was not very large but at least we were catching some fish and not riding around the lake. Talked to Daryl on the radio and they were fishing just west of the Turn Around Buoy and they had 35 keepers and they were still fishing. On the ride back to port we were hammered by a rain storm but by the time we arrived at port the storm was over. We kept 25 perch between 7 3/4 and 10 inches.
