The fish were snapping at Midnight on the Eddy's Jetty. I had to take the center jetty because the North side was totally taken. I started with a leech because it was calm, but after the guys on the North Jetty had 4 eyes in on raps I switched to a Husky Jerk purple perch. I noticed they were throwing a light colored bait, so I switched to a clown. I also noticed they were pretty much straight reeling. When I started doing that I got my first fish.

About 15 minutes later I got another one.

| 22" |
I netted it and when I laid it down a hook caught on my bag. When I went to grab my pliers my scissors came out of my bag fell down in the rocks and into the lake. Amazingly enough it fell to a spot where I could reach it.
I missed a hit then I went half and hour without a bite so I switched to a clown X-Rap and I quickly landed 2 fish on that.

I ended up going to the South Jetty at 2am. I had one hit but missed it. I did try a leech without any luck. The guys on the North Jetty got a few on leeches. It was not happening so I left at 3:30AM. 4 eyes, not a bad start this year.
I headed to the GOMH at 4:35AM my first fish was a jumpin bullhead on a Strike King Pure Poison with Havoc Craw Fatty trailer.

| 15.5" |
Eventually I got a toothy bullhead on the Havoc Grass Pig.
 |
| 20.75" |
I had one bite me off and had a least 4 more bites from toothy's that I missed. I gave up at 8:15AM
Evening Trip: I got to the GOMH just before 8PM. I had a small toothy bullhead get off on the rocks on the NE side right away. Other than that it was pretty dead just a small jumpin bullhead on the NE side and a nicer one on the SW side. The meat guy and his girlfriend got a few jumpers as well and missed a silver.
I headed to Mille Lacs about 9PM. Not much was happening tonight. The meat guy and his girlfriend showed up an they got a cigar. Right after they left at 11:30PM I got a decent eye on the clown X-Rap.
With the lack of wind nothing was going on so I left around 12:30AM
