Well, after a sirloin dinner I was tempted, very strongly to go to bed early.
But conditions were just perfect for a little hours long shore fish by myself.
I used pickeral rigs(lol) with minnows, set them up on holders and waited.
About 7 it popped off. Walleye one after another. I was happy cause still learning this stretch of the river.
Its a really boring method but effective.
Toss out your line, put in a holder and sit and wait.
But the scenery and weather were so awesome i wasnt phased.
In about 2 hours i caught about 12 or 14 walleye, all dinks but good eaters, bout 13" or so.
As i txted wifey to come pick me up, i hooked a sturgeon! But on a pickeral rig I had no chance. Im guessing the fish was maybe 25 or 30lbs. Got it 30 ft from shore and it spit the hook, bummer.
So, i tied my fish to a log. Next thing I know there is a friggen skunk behind me lol. It darts off but its looking for my fish. First time i ever seen that!
After the skunk it was a gull.
Anyhow it was a beauty evening and a great shorefish!!!!
All in all a great day! The bass and pike went nuts about 7pm. Sturgeon too!
Awesome to see and just a nice relaxing night out!
