Comments

It was the first time out this year with the go-devil, and it performed flawlessly. I decided to head up the channel to see what I could catch. I started out on the lowe side by Greg's and came up empty handed. The next stop on the exporitory tour was just north of Schultz, next to the trees in the water. I ended up with one small bluegill here: I think the current was just a little too strong at these two portions in the channel.
Next stop was the upper end of the channel where it necks down where the first major tree is in the water. I caught a few crappies here, one bluegill and one small perch. The next and fianl stop was about three housed down from Tim Meiyer's house. This area was definately holding fish! I caught lots of perch (most small, but some mediocre), little bass, and a few decent crappies. The go-to bait was a chunk of crawler on a small jig suspended about two feet under a bobber.
Observations:
There was some kids in the upper end of the channel fishing off tree leaning in the water, that were catching some crappies. Also, a boat just to the south of my last stop was doing pretty good putin a lickin on the crappies using a minnow under a cork.
