I took Glenn out to the Arm and we launched about 0900 to avoid the cold and the crowds. We hit the same general areas as the last couple of weeks. It took several hours before we found the right area and the right colors. We picked up a few on our jigs until I dug out a senko with colors I probably haven't used since I bought them 10 years ago. Glenn and I tend to be successful because we are willing to try odd colors. I didn't think what I picked was going to work but after catching 3 eyes in 5 casts I was sold. We weren't planning on keeping very many especially large eyes so of the 50 we caught we only cleaned 7. Glenn caught the largest eyes at around 5.5 lbs and I caught a 4.5 and 3.5 lb smallies. Only one dink eye was caught and the eyes we released averaged 20-23 inches. This was probably the last weekend that the Porcupine Bay launch will be usable. The lake evel will put it out of the water in a day or two. The water is a little stained with the visibility at about 3 feet. It is a long trip from 7 Bays to up the Arm.
