Status: offline 		Went out to give err a go this morning. SomebodS had other plans so I Decided to fly solo today.

(Hope you got some fish Slick).

It was said to be a nice morning so I made it out and boy oh boy was it a nice morning. Chilly to start out at 6:00am but warmed up nicely. Lake was dam near flat for 4 hours. Just enough , "what I call a walleye chop" , to make things perfect. Water temps were 70 degrees.

All I needed to do now was to find some walleyes. For awhile I thought I was out for some "boating" (code word for skunked). But I got one today so now Im a happy fisherman. Could have used a net man !!  I fumbled the rod and net once and thought i was going to lose lunch , but she stayed hitched to them hooks and I got her in da boat.

The fish was a nice 24 incher

Im sure a few more weeks and things will be good for a few good meat runs.

Good luck everyone for this years walleye season and be safe.


Before  and after pics.

PS, dont let them get caught in the kicker ...

It was nice out there until the wind stoped.
