Quick Burr Lake Trip

limeyangler · December 28, 2008

Hi all,

Had planned to go for a long day fising at Burr Lake with some buddies. As things turned out my buddy had a medical emergency in the family and could not come.

I ended up going and got into a ton of perch but had to wait til the last bite of the day for a walleye. Was nice that the perch were being aggressiv today....made for a lot of running between my two lines, keeping me occupied as i waited for the walleye to show up. I was going to move but never did as time was limited.

Anyway, got a couple of nice fillets of walleye in the end, wasn't cold, and was kept busy. (i would have kept some perch as they were big enough, but i was noticing a lot of worms in the flesh around the gills and mouth.

All fish in 17 - 19 FOW on jig and plain hook with split shot sinker.

TONS OF THESE GUYS

ONLY WALLEYE FOR TODAY

Best wishes for the new year to you all.

Thanks for the report. It's a crazy kind of fun running between holes when the perch are on.
