This report is for last Sunday. Launched out of Porcupine Bay, finally, with Jay and his neighbor Travis and headed upriver to the buoy 5 area. Spent the morning casting jigs and trolling smile blades. Caught 30 total eyes and kept 17 eaters; everything else was too small to not feel life we would have been perch fishing. Green and brown curly tail grubs and blue/red smile blades produced the best. We spent most of out time trolling the main river channel until we picked up a couple of fish and then we would go back and hit that area with jigs. Best fish of the day would have been an 8+ lb. female, for Jay, but a novice net operator miss judged the fish and she got knocked off at boat side. We also caught 4 slimers trolling as well; no real size but they took the hook pretty deep so we kept them as required.
