      Left home before the crack of dawn to be able to hit the water, on the north end, right around 0600hrs…

      5/17: Hit the water and headed to the locations the were golden last year. These did not disappoint. We were into fish in a matter of minutes. Mostly walleyes with a few brown bass thrown into the mix to make it interesting. The eyes ranged from 16″ to a fat and sassy 27″ brought in by my girl friend. the smallies were of the “fun” size. Depth varied greatly. We worked everything from 6 FOW all the way to 22 FOW. Rocks to “whatever” transitions were best. Morning bite beat the evening bite by far. Everything taken on artificial baits.

      5/18: My partner in crime took a pass today so I hit he water solo. Tried for the repeat of the day before following the same basic path. Weather had changed a bit with clear sky and a mirror smooth lake. Hit a few eyes, then they shut down completely and with everything thrown at them, I couldn’t buy a fish. However… In search for that swimming gold, I had the pleasure of tangling with two bass that can only be described as footballs!

      This lil’ piggy went about 19.5″. And fat doesn’t come close to describe her girth.

      After changing depth a bit to get away from “The Bass Zone”… Here come football #2… Close to 20” and much fatter the the first.

      I’m not a bass guy by any definition, but these two may have changed my thinking. More revelations of my findings will come shortly…

          No worries Bob… The wave from the mower most likely saved you from a heated discussion with my first mate in regards to forage, slots, and walleye population… She can be quite the spitfire sometimes! LOL!! We should get her at the meetings! She’ll get-r-done!! LOL!!

          I’ve gotta ask… Those MILLIONS of small fish / minnows we saw in the harbor, are those perch fry? Or something else? Curious minds want to know.

              I was out all day on Saturday. The bright sunshine was driving the walleyes deeper and with the water temps reaching 64 degrees, I was concentrating on 27-29 ft rock structures that were holding fish.
              I was seeing those “bait balls” on my Lowrance and I could see the packs of walleye that were herding the baitfish into the rocks, like in years past (before the crash).
              When the full “Walleye Moon” came up, the bite went wild. I ended up with 34 walleyes and over half were over 17, with most in the 23-24 year class.
              When I got back in the harbor, DNR Creel Specialist Steve Lawrence came to my boat to see how we did and to tell us that the night closure law was changed to no fishing (unless muskie fishing, with 8″ lures or bigger, when it opens.) after 10pm, but you don’t need to be in the harbor by 10pm. (Don’t know why he’s still carrying that measuring board) He said that the released walleyes are surviving pretty good for the most part and commented on all the shiners and perch that are showing up in great numbers again, to keep our fish populations thriving.
              I got one of those football smallies, too, Danny. 20.5.
              All fish were lip hooked and released unharmed.
              Good to see the lake getting healthy again.

                My son & I were up on 19th & 20th & found out we arrived just in time for the shutdown. Worked the breaklines & weed lines 8′-16′ with crankbaits with no success. we worked Vineland bay. We mostly fish for pike or smallies & walleyes that are willing. Moved down to Cove to work the shallows only to experience a handful of bump & runs & numerous follows. Saw some very large fish, but no takers. Moved down to Isle & fished up to Hawkbill, still nothing. Tough couple days. Finally conceded & went to Shakopee & caught about ten pike nothing big, but it was a bend of the rod. Hope next trip up is better. maybe mid June.
