Got out for an hour tonight. 5:45-6:45. Temp had dropped a little from what was otherwise a really nice afternoon. Water still a tad higher than normal but it looked pretty good actually. I began by throwing spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and a rattle trap. My search baits failed me though so I decided to go smaller to try and land a little something.
Guys nearby were getting some small bass and crappie on live minnows so I decided to throw some of my small Lunker City shad and see if I could convince anybody.
First or second cast I get a nice little bite. I'm thinking its a crappie but then it starts fighting a little too hard. Thought maybe a small bass but to my surprise it ended up being the elusive Lake O perch. Had a nice little gut and would have been a "keeper" in other circumstances.
