Two of my 6 pickerel were over 3lbs. but not big enough to get in the money for the KDC contest. I also got 5 yellow perch and a 2lb.14oz. largemouth bass. My buddy got 5 pickerel and 5 perch with tip-ups and jigs. A great day for the contest, we could see groups of people fishing in every direction.

AREA FISHED ------------- Coves
FISHING METHOD ------- Jigging
BAIT/LURES USED ------- Mousies
NOTES --------------------- Fished my favorite lake and caught over 30 yellow perch and some nice size bluegill and pumpkinseed sunfish. Fish are slightly schooled up and the weeds are still green. The big yellows have not moved into shallow water yet. There is a good 12 inches of ice on the lake. Did not fish tipups. I am really not interested in the pickeral at this time. Good luck to everyone fishing the tournament tomorrow. I won't be there. I have to work.
