For the Week Ending Sunday, Dec. 30, 2018

Monday, Dec. 24 (from Ron)...It was Christmas Eve, so I had to wet a line. Fished upper North landing from 2 to 5 p.m. Started with a small striper, and my hopes went up, but then it got real slow. Managed a couple more fish but no keeper stripers. Still, however, it beats a skunk.

Thursday, Dec. 27 (from Ron)...Fished Milldam yesterday from 3 p.m. 'til dark and got skunked. Not a single tap. Fished Tecumseh today, again from 3 p.m. 'til dark, and found one skinny li'l white perch to avoid the skunk. Oh well...

Saturday, Dec. 29 (from Ron)...Had a bit better day. Weather was near perfect; didn't even need a jacket from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Found some small chain pickerel that were slamming the Booyah Prank on top. Third one was a decent size, maybe 20 or 22 inches, but he stole my Prank with his sharp teeth. They didn't seem interested in anything else. Eventually, though, caught a dink bass and a 2-15 on a Berkley Pitbull crankbait. As I was recovering, a guy fishing with kids near the launch site landed a 4-lb. 6-oz. bass on cut bait while fishing on the bottom!
