Fished off the docks from 7:30-10:30 this morning. The perch were fewer in number, smaller in size and less interested as compared to last Saturday. Got enough 8s and 9s for a dinner, but one here/one there. Had to go thru a lot of plastics to see what they’d hit. Only 1 bass on the jerkbait. Also caught five 6" chubs, which were right beneath the docks, while the perch were out a ways. Hit my highway spot on the way home for 30 minutes, and not even a bite. Might return Friday.
Mike, good report maybe the shift in weather turned them off a bit.
Better luck next time I hope!
Being a care giver, I have not made it out yet this year but when I do Rockport will be my first stop. Thanks for the reports.
Chubs in RP? That’s the first time I’ve heard to anyone catching them there, but I guess it should not surprise me, since they are in Lost creek, in big numbers.
We caught a bunch of chubs there this week with the student club, also.
I have caught a few. Usually just one in among a lot of perch. I suspect that the large population of perch keeps them from overpopulating. But once they get the upper hand the trout fishing will suffer.
