Tough bite again today but a good Mom package of fillets.  Just enough for a meal for her, so will freeze and drop them off to her this week.

11.5 inches.   The walleye was 15 inch and one hair long. 

Had a bald eagle fly just overhead that today too. That was cool.

I was going to head out again this morning but figured it'd be another grind so I'll hold off until Thursday.

Was a grind again today. Thought for sure this morn when I hit the water it's was gonna be a limit in an hour day.  Got a couple , a few shorts, kept getting hits but they weren't really taking it well.  Still great to be on the water.

same hear its hasnt been easy

[Robhuntandfish]

Another couple and some perch. Had 3 more perch, but wasn't keeping any til I got a walleye to clean. Never had a hit the first hour. Fish on the graph in 29 fow but no hits.  Then tried 38 ft, nothing, 32, nothing, 27 a couple perch.   Almost ready to bag it and got a short. Kept fishing and got to 21 ft.  Got 3 shorts, 2 keepers, had one cut me off and 4 perch in about an hour.  But time to go and that was good enough.

Usually a little tough this time of year. Should be picking up from here on out thru July.  Most guys coming off the lake saying about the same.

[chrisw]

Can be tough around this time because we start getting a big bug hatch in the lakes and surprisingly enough, walleyes will key in on those mud flats full of insects and gorge on them. Walleyes eating bugs sounds weird but they do.

Why not eat those hex, theyre the size of chicken wings lol

[Robhuntandfish]

Shhhh.... Don't tell Corey.  Secret food plot going in. Lol

This will be too funny if they come up.  Put a few sunflowers in near one of our stands.  Should be funny when he gets into it this fall. Planted about 50.  Hopefully they take. 

[Robhuntandfish]

Took down stands today in my 6S spot .  No hunting there anymore so it's all on 7F this year. Sucks but it is what it is.  But I am looking forward to concentrating on 7F and filling a tag there and thankful I have that.

And of course while I am headed out to take one of them down a big Tom was crossing the field.  Go figure. 

 

[Robhuntandfish]

Limit today by 7:10. Should've been sooner dropped 3 that were hooked but two were doubles so couldn't get one in to get the other in time.  Also got one short. Fished for another 15 minutes after limit and caught another and threw it back and added a white perch. Cold out there and rain close so off the lake.  Nothing huge but they were def hitting. Best perch of the year so far just over 12".  

Then fish cleaned, boat gassed up, showered and breakfast by 10am . Not bad.

Haven't fished it much, been on the main lake.  But when I launched at snug last on the way out to the lake a guy on the wall was netting one. 

[sbuff]

I heard it was booming there ...

[First-light]

When I move up to the cabin next year a boat is in the works. Fish look great! 

[Robhuntandfish]

A couple of walleye and a few perch.  Lost 3 eyes including a nice one at the boat.   Also 3 shorts.  Def a tougher bite took a while to find any.  But still a decent day. 

[chrisw]

I planned on getting out today but the stiff east wind this morning kept me from going. Tomorrow is looking better.

That it sure was.  I wore my long johns. Lol.  On the east end an East wind is manageable but it def was blowing. 

[Robhuntandfish]

Good day on the water, limit of eyes, 10 perch and a bullhead.  Biggest perch was a 12".  Had a double....a white perch and bullhead...? Lol.

Lol.  No but from the same stock. So far this year haven't seen one color that was better than any of the others.

Great weekend fishing with a great group of folks.  Had the honor of fishing with a bunch from this forum.  @Pygmy @Lawdwaz @Otto @Lomax all had a run out in my boat.  And all from a invite from a camping trip that @The_Real_TCIII was on. Thanks much for the invite Tacks. Was a great time. Didn't get to fish in the boat with you but congrats on the scholarship and putting the feud with Charlie to rest. 

Great weekend and even a special guest appearance from @Steuben Jerry

Not a boat load of fish caught but a few were managed and I believe Otto has the current largest fish to date in the new boat with a big cat.  Was hoping for at least one day of boat limits but fun all the same. 

Great time guys , thanks and look forward to fishing with you all again.
