Well, I saw some post that asking about the results for the July 14, Meet and Greet, so I decided to through this together. Feel free to add any comments, updates, and pictures.
I believe 29 Anglers said that they were coming so this would be the largest Meet and Greet, so far for the year. I arrived at Lowes Wharf at 5:55am. There were plenty of Anglers there already unloading their kayaks. The weather was great, with 4 to 6 mph winds most of the morning. I launched with a few other kayakers at 6:38 am. I was heading towards the northern side of the island, but as I got closer, I saw dozens a flags out as if it was a construction zone (which it was). I decided not to trespass pass the flags into the construction zone where they were expanding Poplar Island. I then proceeded straight ahead to the first small island, Jefferson Island, and that is where I stayed most of the morning. Using a spinner, but most of the time I used a 1/8 ounce jig head with a 4 inch paddle tail and proceeded to catch several 11.5 inch white perch and 60 stripe bass, with two of them being keepers of 21.5 and 22.5 inches. I was limited out by 9:00am. I do not know if anyone else hit their limit, but I know one person caught a 26 incher and won the fish pool back at the restaurant and Paul Goody won the bucket of lures.
The restaurant accommodations where great once again. I had a crab cake lunch with an adult beverage. Everyone had a great time and I saw many fish caught by other anglers. Thank goodness the weather cooperated.
I know everyone there would like to thank the host, Coop1486, for putting together a great meet and greet. I takes a lot of work by everyone who volunteers to get these get togethers off the ground, but Coop did a wonderful job on this one. He met everyone at the ramp, and at lunch he went around table to table checking out every angler at the restaurant.
