Bank Fishing Saturday

[MSUFisherBear]

Been a while since I've been on the forum. Took the father-in-law and brother-in-law Saturday for a little bit of bank fishing. We headed over to Swan Creek for a couple of hours. Mainly perch jerking on this trip (more just for the fun of it than anything). We did pretty well on some good pan sized bluegill. Most were caught on tube jigs and Rebel Crick-hoppers. I did really well on the fly rod with a black gnat pattern and even caught a couple of 10 inch LM's. Saw SEVERAL more while fishing. Most were cruising the channel. Lots looked to be around 12". None of us really went after them but I did see a couple chasing small bluegill. I know that area gets hit pretty heavy, but a guy might do pretty good on a firetiger or chartruse and white spinnerbait through there.

My parents are coming down this weekend with the nephew. Hoping to get away with Dad in the kayaks for a couple of hours and may be back in that vicinity.
