August had last Wednesday off school, temps were around 50, so we decided hit the pond one last time with hopes the bite might still be going.

We slip fished fatheads on tru-turns and more towards evening things heated up.

We caught around 20 HBC and kept a dozen for dinner. Averaged 10-12", perfect fillet size:



Only managed 2 YP, but they were solid 12"ers:



Stocked 100 6" WE October 2011. At 11" this is not the growth I was hoping for, but soon their gape will allow them to target more forage sources and they just may turn the corner on growth. Still was a cool surprise:



Big fish of the day! Plenty of drag pulling and several breaches of the water - she's a thick 16":



20 HBC, 2 BG, 3 SMB [all solid fish], 2 YP, and 1 WE over 2.5 hours. Not a bad way to end the open water season and he sure had a blast outfishing his Dad!
