[cool] [font "Times New Roman"][size 3][blue]Bassrods and I worshiped at the church of the 7th day angler today…at the Yuba chapel. Had a lot of other heathens on the ice too. Everybody seemed to be catching a few. Saw one group on the way back in from our fishing that was only fishing about 50 yards straight out from the ramp and had quite a few nice fish on the ice.[/blue][/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3][blue]Nice day. No wind. Took my coat off early. Only drilled three holes and Bassrods drilled a few more…all in the same area. Depth from 12 feet to 25 feet. I fished mainly with blade baits and big plastics, trying for something with size and teeth. I got some decent sized perch, but nothing big enough to eat any of them. Actually, by fishing with big stuff, with large hooks, I was able to keep the littler perch off the hook. Oh, I had LOTS of pecks and tugs, but I tried to “set the hook” only on “weight” and it paid off. My perch were from 9” to just over 11”. Bigger than last week’s fish.[/blue][/size][/font]

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3][blue]Bassrods used mostly standard sized (smaller lures) stuff, but his fish were of a much better size today too. We will both dine well…or at least as far as a wimpy limit of ten fish will go.[/blue][/size][/font]
