[Jerry Tipping]

Mike from Hartford and his son John from St Cloud, MN booked a morning trip on "Pete" for today. We started jigging a mid-lake hump with magnum fat heads on jigs and dead rods in 17-19 feet of water. First fish in the boat was a nice 17 1/2" "keeper", then it was a bunch of "shorties" and all the white bass and sheep's head you wanted. Some of the white bass were pushing 13-14 inches. We put the planer boards in the water for a while and pulled Shad Raps and Flicker Shads and it was constant action. 2,3,4,5 on at a time kept Mike and John busy. "Shorties", small mouth, perch in large numbers, but not size. This was a release only trip, so all fish are back and waiting for the next presentation. ;)

Keep a tight line!!!
