I went out myself for a few hours as I don't have to work tomorrow, from 3:30 to dusk. I started about a mile off lakeside (good pack of boats there) and after 2 shorts got a 19" fish. Another hour and all I got were shorts, sheephead, and catfish (including a really nice 28" cat). Moved out to Kellys, picked up a bunch more shorts and 1 16" fish near the bouy on the SW corner. Moved to 30 FOW off the west side and no more shorts. Got 2 fish, 1 23", 1 25".

I was drifting and casting. Slowed down when the wind died off, and I'd say getting 3 keepers on a dead flat lake casting is pretty decent.

Now, I'll tell ya something on how I fish. I have a spinning reel that I throw lures with, and have a baitcaster that I just dump over the side. On a day with good drift, the baitcaster can often do well, but today it was really strange. I was getting a lot of fish on it (mostly shorts) without much movement of the boat, just bouncing on the bottom. And, just for the heck of it, I had a green erie dearie on that pole. Old school. I noted I was getting more fish on that than the worm harness I was throwing, so put the same on my casting rig, and started getting a lot of fish. These little buggers will hit anything it seems. Those I hit casting I had to bounce along the bottom. Reel, sink, hit bottom. Reel, sink, hit bottom. Repeat. Was getting a hit at least about every other cast.

All total, I got:
4 keepers
32 shorts
5 cats
more sheephead and white perch than I care to count
1 12" yellow perch (which I also kept of course).

All the shorts were without exception 13-14 1/2".
