I finally made it out to bull dam last night(Howard Eaton Res)for a few hours.  Between 25 feet of beach that is not normally there and the seaweed there were not many places to cast to.  I managed to catch an aquarium sized perch and one small bluegill.  I did have a small northern (18 in?) up to my hand before it broke my line.  It hit a small panfish as I was realing it in.  dd
