The gar was inadvertently snagged and released. Like I said there was packs of them. -
Thanks Whaler 1. Never miss an apple blossom rocky trip. Good fast action.

Fished Oak Orchard Creek out of Captains Cove at the bridges Wednesday. Headed up creek south/southwest toward Waterport dam. Caught many nice rockies, perch and bluegills. Fishing around downed trees with purple bent wire fuzzy jigs, 11 year old Grandsons homemade flies and trout magnets, all tipped with a piece of worm. For real fun try a cane pole to reach into the tangles where you can't cast. For the gar fisherman there are packs of them cruising all the shorelines. Must be spawning. Never saw so many gar. Some I'd estimate pushing 40 inches.

First off, no docks in as of Monday. A real pain alone. Took home 33 nice yellow perch. Only about 10 throwbacks. Averaged about 7/hour. Not bad but not killing it yet. Fished with fatheads, emeralds and worms took a few. Water only 38 degrees. Would have loved to release some of the big females, even tried, and they just floated back up. Fishing mainly 45 to 51 feet deep. Their air bladders were popping out from that depth. Nothing shallow this trip. I'll give everyone a tip about the perch here. You leave your line slack when dropped down and they will scoop it up quicker than tightlining or jigging. they seem to want no tension on bait. Fished channel markers, North of bridge on East side and South of bridge. Went by Cranberry and Long ponds after going to Stews. 2 cars at Cranberry and about 15 at Long pond about 720 am. Good luck.
