Stars aligned for me on Sunday and I was able to get out on the bay for a day of fishing. Got a late start and forgot the screen for my sonar but set out to find some perch. Get out 100 ft from shore and stopped to tie up some rods, when i see a 2-3ft pike (was pretty dark could have been bowfin) sitting on the bottom right beside me!! tried to get something down to it but couldn't get him to bite.
Tie on a dropshot and just start hammering perch/rock bass non stop for 2 hours not much as far as size goes, picked up 3 keepers. Headed out deeper, bite slowed down but then i started getting BIG bluegill loving the power nymph i had tied on, almost every one had it halfway down their throat.
Was reaching to unhook a feisty rock bass when a big pike explodes out of the water boatside and take a swipe at the fish and barely misses my hand!! Trolled around looking for pike but only picked up a few smaller largies.
Brought home 3 perch and 3 bluegill for a fry, was a great day on the water I was very surprised how many perch were in!
