Rvr 7/9

[Moz]

Got on the water around 5:30 this morning which was a bit later than I hoped but no crowd at that hour so all good. Weather was cool and a decent breeze blowing.

Plugged away at the rocks with a plastic worm and I lost count how many rockbass I caught but it was well north of 10. Aggressive pests those things, I lost 2 dink bass too.

Around 8 AM the peoples started to show up an encroach on me. Paddled away a bit to an area I always mark fish but haven't had much luck catching anything in the past and put on one of the new 3.5 in Keitechs I picked up at The Sporting Life last weekend (when our governor was doing his beached whale thing) and 2 casts later I land a solid LMB north of 2 LBS. I throw him back and a couple of casts later I hook into something, not much of a fight, and I'm a little confused when I bring it to the surface but it turns out to be my 1st ever perch out of RVR and a new PB for me too. Just weird to catch it on that lure and in July too. It managed to unbutton itself when I went to unhook it but I had the GoPro running and grabbed a pic from that.

Had to call it a day a little after 8:30 to tend to home duties. Glad our parks are back open!
