Got on the water about 8 a.m.The rain was only drizzle and soon stopped. Water mostly calm. I decided to target the crappie I know are in there. I went straight out from the front of the dock. Almost to the middle and started trying to find them. I set up a slide bobber with a red and white jig and small weight between bobber and jig. I let it down to the bottom then slowly reeled it up ..very very slowly. I felt a tap. I did not get it. Then I remembered to reel to when I fel taps and stay there. I then woild slowly draw up the line wiggle it a little or move side to side then drop and repeat. I kept getting taps. Finally a hook up and I drew up a beautiful crappie.. success. I tried to stay at the spot but boat shifted and I did not find the scool again but got into some perch. Hook one normal one foul..let em go. With a fish finder you could mark the crappie probably jig for them. I am guessing I caught the crappie near 830 a.m.. I hope to go back and target crappie more. I caught a few perch here and there then started targeting the jumping trout. Lot's of activity there. Saw several trout jump clear of the water ..all silvery looking so guessing cuts. After rowing troll woth nothing. I sped up and wham fish ob ..brought in a beautiful cutthroat with a lot of fight. I had several other strong hits . Several hook ups and lost one beauty right at the boat probably in 14 in range. I hook into him pn the way in with way intense wind. Got a another trout on that snap my line. I.think it was on account of my line twisting with the wind. All and all that was my day. The cutthroat are in there and give a fierce fight. I should have offered them more. They were surface feeding and liked when the wind came up. Hope to see you all out there. sorry no picture of the cutthroat gave it to a fellow fishing buddy I saw.
