4th of July Madness: Day 2

Day 2 brought a little more wind and some chop, and I wondered if we were going to find fish at all. Granted, I am always paranoid...

We said screw the boat ramp on the other side of the lake this time around. We decided with the wind the way it was, we would again try our normal spot right off of the ramp. It didn't take long and we were pulling walleyes in.

 

We caught plenty of walleyes right in this pocket again, but this time walleye-weirdness prevailed and we only got pics of a few...... After only a couple of hours we called it a morning and headed back in for food, some pics, and maybe a quick nap.

 We didn't exactly limit out, but we did well with some hefty fish.
After some lemon grilled walleye and some leftover steak we decided to take it easy in the afternoon and maybe troll the lake. After only 20 minutes the girls were already done. They had their frozen lemonade things and laid on the front of the boat while we fished.

 We caught only pike in the main lake and I ended up catching a bunch of small walleye in the bay we have fished so often already, but nothing giant. I missed a couple of railroad ties, but I will work on that in the future.

We finished the day by hauling back to small area by the boat ramp and pitched for 10 minutes before calling it a day on the water.

Paul found a nice waldo and we even convinced him to throw it back!

The rest of the evening consisted of dinner at The Lookout, and blowing stuff up in the parking lot. It would have been a hell of a lot more fun if my pup hadn't broken her kennel in her fireworks loving fit....


I never really expected this trip to go as well as it did. We caught a ton of fish and even some big fish to boot. It was great to have my wife along on this fishing adventure as we both enjoyed the insanity together. Hopefully, we can figure out a way to get out more, but for the time being, we are focusing on whatever comes next for us.
