More Everything

I was back on the lake this morning with Ed & Ted looking for a few walleye for them to take home and eat. Along with the walleye, we were hoping for a bunch of smallies and some pike, which would be released of course! Ted had driven close to 10 hours through the night just to join us on this spectacular waterway. Ed had fished with me before and informed him of just how good the fishing was and both were looking forward to getting into fish. We got a later than usual start, were fishing before 9:30 A.M. and locked up just minutes later. The first fish was a smallie of almost 4 pounds and Ted was the fortunate one to battle this acrobatic beauty. A quick pick and right back she went! The weather started out with a nice chop from the 10 knot west winds but layed down by mid day. Air temps were in the 80’s and the water temps reached 67 degrees in most areas. We spent several hours trolling up pike, walleye and of course smallies and put a few walleye in the boat for their dinner tonight before we opted for casting for smallies. A quick run to another region of the lake and we began catching bass, but not the size I was looking for and I relocated once again. This time the first couple of fish to come into the boat were also walleye and not the bass we were looking for again. Another couple of moves with more action from bass, pike and even walleye and we were calling it a day. Oh yeah, even the Muskie got into the mix as Ed managed to land his first ever lunge. By 5:30 we were feeling the heat and decided to call it a day. It was another multi species one, full of action from just about everything that swam and we took full advantage of the full moon bite!!
