weekend lakers and eyes

Recommended Posts

Well I finally made it out this weekend after too many weekends of work.

Left Friday evening for the inlaws with hopes of a nice weekend.

Saturday morning was pretty mild with a cool NE wind but that didn't stop

myself the wife and our two kids from heading to a small lake to try for some splake

Got to the lake about 9:30 and got some holes drilled

Set my daughter up with a jig and minnow and told her to drop it to bottom and this is what she got....

her first perch this year

Unfortunately my battery conked out on the camera right after that

Two hours later and only one more perch we decided to head back.

 

I had planned on going walleye fishing Sat evening but with us giving up on the splake so early I decided to try for some lakers for an hour or so before the walleye bite started.

Went to a lake that is only a quarter mile from the inlaws and got set up pretty quickly.

Lost a couple right away and then managed this one..

Sorry for the bad pic had to take it after my battery had charged up

One for team five a 17.5" laker

 

So after that things slowed right down and it was coming on to 4 oclock I decided to try my luck at some eyes.

Managed to catch ten before dark but only 3 worth keeping

Sunday dawned bright and clear and very warm so my son and I along with my father in law decided to try lakers again

Here is a small view of the lake

Really slow on Sunday so my son decided to get a workout shovelling snow for a fort

About an hour and a half later one of our set lines went down and my son ran over to it which was a good thing as just as he got there the rod started to go down the hole

Good grab son

 

this guy gave him a good fight on my walleye rod with 6 lb test

And that was about it for the action
