Captain why didn't ya say something? Plenty of room in the FishHawk and I have a few extra fishing poles. Next time blow your car horn or shoot some flares in the air or something. Gotta bring your own coffee though.

I thought about anchoring off the point at the Pines but that stupid wind kicked up so I just went with the flow.

Initial plan was to fish the causeway at Linesville. Looks like next week for that idea.

Gonna miss that big ole red crane sticking up in the air but I bet the locals, will be happy to have full use of the "dam road" again.😒

Nice one BTDT. We got 60 more on Monday 11"-15.5" perch. Got steelhead but released them so the yellow ropers don't cry this fall. lol Three steelhead from the first trip is more than enough for smoked fish. Heading back up Saturday probably. I think I'm going to pass on Pymy this year,those jumbos are filling the freezer and to be honest taste better than eyes to me. It's hard to pass up a sure thing,1.25-1.5 pound fish and a handful of 2 pounders. Put in at Vista launch the last time,it's deeper than Niagara and about 400-500 yard to perch land. Going to show Marco the pics from the trip today. He got to see the pics to believe. lol Good fishing to you.

Thanks for the offer, but I have my own boat if needed. I just prefer working the shores and wading most of spring. I like to move around in search of Walleye and Musky and wading seems to produce very well early in the season. No luck so far but I have a feeling good fishing is not far off.Lake looks real good , about normal depth , nice and clear. Hopefully that construction will be completed real soon , opening up the road at the dam, making travel easier from both west and east sides. Bad point is weed growth seems to be stronger without those good freeze overs this winter. Time will tell.
 
Big T you nailed it, those Perch are better than Walleye for taste....a little more work cleaning is all !

Nice one BTDT.......... 


Big Tuna I sure would of liked to anchor over some of the pods of fish I was marking. Don't know if they were Perch or anywhere near the jumbo size yinz was catching but there may have been some big-ens, I would have invited to dinner.

I'll get em next time..... or maybe the time after that.
