Lake Altoona

[FatGuy]

Fished Altoona today from 11 am til 1 pm. All the time I had to fish it. Caught one perch right away around 8 inches. Nothing for well over an hour. Moved around a bit. Caught two really nice gills right before 1 pm, but I had to get going. Lots of people for a Monday!

Hit Altoona this morning from 7:30 am til 1 pm. It was slow to say the least. Ended up keeping 4 decent crappies, and one decent perch. Threw back maybe half a dozen.

What a beautiful day to be out!! That being said..what a great day on the water!!!! Brought the kids out to Altoona this afternoon/early evening, and did awesome on the perch. We fished shallow with waxies and minnows and had a ball catching and keeping 10 nice perch and one nice crappie. Enough for dinner tomorrow night! Wait.. I may be back tomorrow night!

Back at it tonight, and the wind blew harder, and the fish bit harder, too! No problem finding a limit of perch and crappie. Waxies and minnows did the work again, but the bigger fish seemed to like the minnows. After limiting out on panfish I focused on walleyes. I found them, but most were short. Trolled the shoreline, lost one maybe 18", while I was trying hard not to crash my boat, then landed a 22" hog to cap off the night. Great night fishing once again!
