a buddy and i headed up to the rock today to see if the fish wanted to play nice and we were not disappointed.. we had 8" plus out on the res. after a long walk out to the big island we started to drill holes and man it's time for new blades for the old mora auger, it took some effort to punch about a dozen holes to get things started we fished 30' to 17' and found the fish in the 20' to 25' range again they were glued to the bottom. we got 18 perch and lost a nice smallmouth at the hole it took my rippin rap, at least it was not a slime dart this time. i marked a lot of fish they would come up off the bottom take a look and go right back down again. we kept 12 perch ranging from 8" to 12" all but three perch were caught on tip ups it was a really nice day to be on old home waters. we had a total of 18 perch today.
