				| Went to Rainbow Res yesterday from 4:30 - 9pm.  Actually a good time of day/week to go because there wasnt that many water skiing.  It started to get nice and cool, we threw in live worms, some senkos and spiners.  In all we caught. 
 3 Smallmouth Bass (less than 12 inches)
 1 Yellow Perch
 1 Rock Bass (didnt know they had them there)
 1 Smallmouth Bass that was 13 inches
 
 Decent day, I wanted to check out some new spots but I need to find something closer that allows motor boats.

				| Good stuff. I think I may have been out there the same time as you. If you don't mind me asking, where were they? I've been getting stumped the past couple weeks out there. |  |

				| You might have been. I was in a 18ft bass tracker. If you go along the edge that's usually where they are. When I first got there I took a right and went passed the cement pathway. Go towards the left a little way down. It was a little weedy but at one point we were catching them one after another then it died down. When you first launch and head down a little on the right that's where all the perch are. My fish finder went nuts at one point. |  |

				| I think I saw you. I was in a 12 ft jon. I've fished those weeds a few times, I didn't think there would be smallies in them. But I'll try tomorrow. |  |

				| Sweet.  Let me know how it goes.  Last month I got a hold of a 14" smallmouth along the edge as well on the opposite side of the ramp a little ways down.  They are definitely in there. |  |

				| The bass took senkos and the perch took live worms. |  |
