After getting a serious arm and shoulder workout from a total pig walleye beatdown earlier, I opted for some lighter fare in the evening with the fam.
When we arrived, someone (not me) wanted to swim. So we swam and ate a pizza. Then someone else (still not me) wanted to try for a striper, so I rigged up some 3-ways and we set off. We S-turned all over the lower BW without so much as marking anything, and by 7:30 we were looking for perch. We settled on a smaller creek that usually holds some, and they were there but scattered. The water was pretty murky from a lot of boat traffic. By 8:30 we had 20. Nothing real big, and nothing real small. It felt like a skunk compared to a typical day. However, it sure beat sitting at the house.
Looking back, we should have deployed the double dropshot rigs with a small jighead as the weight and been more active with it, pitching and retrieving. But we were lazy and just drifted single droppers in the rod holders.
