Launched out of Porky with my friend Mike. We headed up the Arm and targeted a rock point near a weedbed. First cast netted a 17 inch eye. Now that can be good or bad depending on what you believe; it was good for us. Over the next hour Mike and I caught 13 keeper eyes ranging from 17-22 inches. All were caught on a 1/2 oz. black jig with a ripple shad in perch color. 25-35 FOW was where we caught them. That bite died after an hour or so and we spent the rest of the day searching for active fish. We only caught a coupe more 16 inch keepers along with a mess of dinks. 30-35 eyes for the day and we cleaned 12. We released the 22 incher. A jigging rap also did fairly well but can wear out your arm pretty quickly.
