It was a sad evening. Twins choose to go to the middle school football game over fishing. So, Trey and my wife had to go fishing with me. I decided to go to Perry because it is a great lake for kids right know. You can get on any point right now and catch white bass.. They are not big; but a lot of action. Any crankbaits, lipless crankbaits and topwater will work. This evening, River2Sea Whopper Plopper 90 was the best bait. I was throwing the bigger Whopper Plopper 130 which makes a lot more noise then the 90. The twins love it when I’m throwing the bigger one because they will throw the 90 right behind me and hook up. The 130 can of get them to react and to feed. I will talk more about the bait in the coming weeks. If you aren’t throwing the River2Sea Whopper Plopper, you are missing out. Even a 5 year old can hookup. It is a great bait for kids and beginners. All you do is reel. Trey was awesome in the video. I love watching the video clips of Trey fishing with me. I hope you enjoy them to.

Fishing Fundraiser On Perry
I decided to fish a fundraiser this last weekend on Perry for K-State Fishing Team with a friend. I did a little pre-fishing, and it was tough. I was able to catch one 3 pound smallmouth of a main lake point. I decided to start on main lake points with plastics. It was supposed to be a very nice day, but it started cold and a north wind was on the spot. After just one bite, we moved to the next point in the area. I would catch 4 non-keeper smallmouth on 5 casts. Being a big fish contest with 4 weighing periods, we needed to find some bigger fish. We moved around the lake trying docks, the marina, and the back of pockets. We didn’t have any luck for several hours. Then we went to fish some wood, and was ab
le to catch one more non-keeper smallmouth on a swimming jig. We had heard that the big fish was 5.12lb and several more 5 pounders were weighted in. I probably ran around the lake more then I have ever before. We never could find any more fish. My friend was able late in the day to hook up with a fish on a crankbait. I thought we finally had a fish we could weigh in. NO, IT WAS A DRUM!! We decided to call it a day. It was nice to hangout with a friend I had not fished with in 4 years. K-State put on a nice tournament. One thing about fishing, there is always a next time.
