Clayton 8/3-8/9

I could leave this post blank and it would be pretty accurate. A few dink perch, a rock bass, and a nice 4lb smallie which must have been a fluke based on the rest of the week. The SM came on a minnow dropshot on a shoal across from the Rock Island Lt House. The only fish taken from that area. The perch and the rocky came from Blind Bay Bay, casting cranks for LM. No action at all at Round Island and Chapman Shoals. Tomorrow going to give Columet Island a chance. Better than work but dissapointing none the less.

Fishing was a little slower than normal for me.  Lots of smallmouth in shallow.  The big flat in front of Burnham Point State park was decent for smallmouth and a 25lb carp.  Lots of good perch in 20-30' around the East point of Carlton Island.  I also had a big pike slam a perch in 18' in that same area.
