17 lbs. for a 2 man Perch limit (60) today 100 yards off of the Rattles of the Snake Island. Fished 10-2:30. A mixture of minnows (very few emeralds). All seemed to work. We dinked around 1 mile West of by the Green Can at Catawba, catching our first 10 fish there from 8:00-9:30. They were all Jumbos (really, no kidding) but just didn't come fast enough, so we bailed. Turns out we should have stayed. My brother was in another boat 100 yards from us and came in with 104 perch (4 guys) weighing in at 38 lbs. He told me it was the nicest catch he has ever caught . Either way, it was a great day on the lake. Weather man sure blew it again with the wind and waves forecast; to our favor for once. Sure was a good use of a vacation day!
