Tough fishing. It was cold and foggy. I only found perch today. Caught a dandy with a lipless crankbait. Then I lost that lure on the next cast because my line was wrapped around the tip of the rod. Ugh.

Highlight of the day was dodging a big pile of bird poop.

While in the fog and fishing. I heard a big plop and saw the big messy poop disintegrating and following into the water. It was about 5' in front of me. I was a tad afraid to look up but it wouldnt matter because I couldnt see anything.

Only fished for about 3 hrs since it was slow. A gentleman said he did well on the cutts. I think he said he caught 8. Most while it was foggy.

You said you caught a dandy, was that a smallie? Did you try your idea of dragging jigs? What did you see on your livescope? Maybe the poop came from a flying pig? ;-)
Thanks!

Lol I wish it was a smallie. It was a very nice perch. Yes, I dragged a football hula grub and also a swinging head swimbait along the bottom. I only got nips from the perch. All I found on livescope were the perch and what looked like a couple of big carp. It was easy to find the perch with livescope. I can move to a spot and pan around with the livescope and find the schools. Some were hugging the bottom. Some were suspended and moving around. I could clearly see nothing large were in the miss because all the blobs were the same size. I did find a school what I think were trout or kokanee suspended at about 40' of water with a depth of 60' or so, this was with the regular 2D. About 4-5 fish.

I'm ready to winterize but this nice streak of weather coming up is going to have me hold off for a bit. I think I will sleep in though and go out fishing later in the day and see how it goes. Maybe even hit up Meridian instead.
