Virgil,

I tried to email you yesterday, but the email got returned to me...

Anyways, I got your message from the weekend, and will put together a club email list tonight when I get home from work. You or I can then use that for Freeze-In contacts.

Chris

ps, you said I could access it as well??

That sounds like a good idea to me.

Yup, it was lonely..... I saw no-one I knew on the water until 4pm when I was leaving. I think the dude under the helmet was Pat Sotherland... looked like his boat. One would almost think the freeze-in had been cancelled.

Well, I hit the water at 8.30am, it was grey and windy with a spot or two of drizzle. Spent an hour under the bridge fishing pilings and any drop-offs over 35ft - nothing!. Fished the 30-40ft line South from the East Mercer Launch down the docks and started hitting Perch almost immediately. Got one 13" smalllie drop-shotting a Sniper lure, small 2" worm looks like a french-fry, wackyrigged from about 34ft. Nothing but Perch until Noon when I hit Kidd Valley for a Burger and gave myself 2 bucks.

Where was everybody?

Ran up to Webster Point after lunch, via the Log-Boom, not even a nibble at either spot so I moved back down under 520 and fished off Grote Point, again drop-shotting 30-45ft, hits loads of Perch and a 16" 2 1/2lb smallie  at about 2.30pm. Left at 4.00pm and got hit by the rain as I left the car park, first real rain all day.

Had fun, wish there were more people there.

FREEZ-INS...
   Well what can I say but I'm sorry and lets try again till we get the bugs worked out of this. I now have about 3/4 of the clubs e-mails saved. where I didn't before. I tried to get info out to as many people as I could as quickly as I could but wasn't set up for it.
   The weather forecast was for nasty weather, I myself don't mind the cold and will fish, same with the wind. But don't really like getting all the gear wet from the start of the day, If I get rained on while I'm out fishing, so be it. The forecast called for wind and rain so I e-mailed as many people as I could at the time and called it off, for those that didn't get the word I'm sorry.
   Like Richard said, it wasn't all that bad. I got a call around 8 Sat. am from Pat S and he said it didn't look all that bad, was I game? Feeling like crud that I made the wrong choice, I went with him. Yes it was alil cold and wendy but it was a nice day and a great day for a freez-in up until about 4pm when the forecasted wend, and rain really hit and hit hard. and what really stinks is that today looks better than yesterday.
   Pat caught acouple really nice perch and right at the begaining of the rain storm got a real nice 3 1/2 lbs. smallie....I did about as good of a job fishing as I did calling this freez-in, but a good day on the water anyway.
   I am still going to try and make this thing work, and am open for any and all suggestions and comments.
  P.s Pat, thanks for the day!          V-DUB-YA

Hey Virgil, where did you and Pat catch your perch at?  With the weather as wacky as it is, Caleb and I are going to give it a try Monday.  I checked with Faz and got all his info, but I'd like a back-up spot if there not on Groat Pt.  If it's monsooning we'll bail on fishing but if it's decent we're perch jerkin'.  We may try the "Rev rig" too.

Cool Richard and Russ,    Doug, we / Pat got his nicest perch past the I-90 (going N ) past that nice looking rock point,  1/4 mile N there is a "Park" we didn't get as far as the park... it was still 200yrds north...oh in about 30 feet of water. Got em on a rev- rig........good luck Booths. VW
