Laurie's Report

 Laurie Murphy:

The Knee Deep Club’s  next contest is for Catfish, to be held on August 7th & 8th.  Catfish are starting to hit with the warmer temps.  Junior member Max Hughen had some nice Bass this past week. His largemouth hit the scales at 4 lb 1oz, along with a Smallmouth weighing 3 lb 10 oz. Richard  Hilton also had a nice largemouth weighing 4 lb 6 oz, casting some rubber worms along Nolans Point and Lou Marcucci had a smallmouth bass weighing 3 lb 3 oz caught on herring.  Another Junior member River Graybill, while fishing with his mom and dad Aaron helped to land a 9 lb 9 oz Hybrid Striped bass. Jim Welsh had an 8 lb 3 oz Hybrid, also caught on herring.  Other hybrids caught this week also were in the 7 - 8 pound range, being caught on herring or rapala jigs in deeper water.  Several pickerel up to 4 1/2 pounds and some walleye have managed to be caught also. Jerry Freeman while trolling worm harnesses managed a 7 lb 6 oz walleye for his efforts. Some nice crappies have also made their way to the scale. Have a great week ...
