He decided on a morning, rather than evening, trip today because of the strong northerly winds. It was calm when he launched at 6:30, but by 9 o'clock, when he quit, the Bay was rough and windy.
"I was targeting white perch with ultralight and a gold-colored Johnson Silver Minnow when I started," said Ron. "After six bass, including a 1-2, two 1-3s, a 2-4 (pictured here), and two dinks, I was getting
disappointed." He finally, however, caught a yellow perch and had several followers, but only managed two white perch.
Ron also noted that he had something slam and snap off his Gold Minnow (could have been a bowfin or gar--he's not sure). His strangest catch of the day, though, was the needlefish pictured here. It fell for the Silver Minnow, which was all he had left after losing the Gold Minnow.
"Boating the 2-4 bass was tough, considering all the grass and ultralight set up," conceded Ron. "Only one of
the dinks was caught on the Whopper Plopper; everything else fell to the Gold Minnow."
