Hard to believe the weather forecasters, calling for a southerly wind yesterday and the lake was like glass most of the day.
Hit the water with the lovely wife by 8:00 and off the water by 4:45. These a are the days that I find are usually the hardest to find and locate Walleye for myself. First location put four in the boat in about 45 minutes with making a few small moves. After that I headed of to a location about a kilometre away. Here until 11:30 had steady action with over 45 walleye with a number around 25” and two over 28”. My wife also had decent action but was not picking up the light bite.
After it slowed down at 11:30 we made small moves in the same location and still manage to find walleye but they were really hugging the bottom. With this we also picked up a couple of perch, number of sauger and also a ten pound catfish. Just because we were getting a bit lonely out there with no boats staying around us we headed back to a spot just south of our first spot. Here we were making fish but forgetful me after tying a new heavier jig on my wife’s line the night before left them in the ledge!!! Getting old and should be making a list!! With 1/2 ounce jig I was picking up the light bites and picked up a number of decent sized walleye with one that was a 27 1/2” golden brown which was strikingly different to the rest. Nice to be out on such a nice day still and to catch a few fish was a bonus!!
