Trip Report For 5/29

[straw hat]

THe wife and I (plus half of the free world) fished the CC rock rip rap today. We caught one 8 lb channel, 7 keeper crappie (from 7 to 10 ft deep), 5 nice whites (12 to 14") and of coarse 50 or 60 small crappie and bass. Of all the peple fishing down there I only saw 2 or 3 small cats being caught and one 22" walleye. The water is really clesring up down there. Visibility about 2 ft. and no current to speak of. I will pass on my usual ranting about some of the inconsiderate people, we all sort of expect that on a holiday weekend. I will mention that many of us on the bank were taking bets on the survival of some on their personal watercraft. They kept crossing the old road across from the rip rap. The road was just under water and they really seemed to be enjoying skimming across the low spots and trying to bump the bottom with their pw or running through some of the smaller brush just sticking out of the water.

That's funny, I am thankful I can fish during the week now, the weekends, especially 3 day weekends, are crazy out on the water. Glad to hear you got a good mess of fish.
