2 half days fishing

[limeyangler]

Hi all,

 

 

got out for 2 half days yesterday evening and this morning. Not the greatest fishing ever, but just glad to get out of the house!

 

 

 

HEADED OUT AND FOUND A GROOMED TRAIL TO A SPOT I"D CAUGHT NICE 26" WALLEYE IN THE SUMMER

 

 

 

 

 

 

SOMEONE ELSE ALSO THOUGHT THIS A GOOD SPOT, THEY DRAGGED THEIR SHACK OVER 6 MILES TO PUT IT THERE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IT WAS A BEUTIFUL AFTERNOON, I SET UP AND WAITED....AND WAITED.............NOT EVEN A FISH ON SCREEN FOR 2 HOURS!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I WAS ACTUALLY PACKING UP TO LEAVE WHEN MY OTHER LINE WENT, GOT THIS LITTLE GUY

 

 

 

 

 

 

THEN I WAITED FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS AFTER THE PIKE THATR GOT ME TO STAY....WATCHED THE SUN SLOWLY SINKING, ANTICIPATING BIG WALLEYE

 

 

 

 

 

 

I MOVED OVER ABOUT 50 YARDS TO A HOLE IN BEHIND A ROCK I KNEW WAS THERE FROM TROLLING IN MY BOAT, AND THERE WERE SOME WALLEYE HIDING IN THERE! NOT BIG BUT BETTER THAN I HAVE BEEN CATCHING ON WABIGOON ALL WINTER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IT WENT QUIET FOR TWENTY MINUTES, THEN I GOT MY FIRST WABIGOON WHITEFISH IN JUST OVER 7 FEET OF WATER ON A GLOW JIG AND MINNOW. A REAL FATTY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After that little excursion I was itching to get out again so took off early in the morning across Lake Wabigoon from the house to Thunder Lake for some trout fishing, really nice weather we had this weekend, not a cloud in the sky yesterday and today, no wind either! perfect for buzzin about the lakes.

 

 

 

 

SET OFF FROM THE HOUSE EARLY, A BIT CRISP OUT, BUT ANOTHER GORGEOUS DAY

 

 

 

 

 

STUNNING MORNING ON THUNDER LAKE, AND IT WAS WARMING UP A BIT, BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT ENOUGH TO BE OUTSIDE THE SHELTER AT 9AM

 

 

 

 

 

 

WAS MARKING LOTS OF BAITFISH, AND SOME ACTIVITY ON THE BOTTOM IN 43 FOW, STARTED OFF WITH ONLY MY 3RD EVER THUNDER LAKE WALLEYE

 

 

 

 

 

AFTER THAT I GOT INTO A SMALLER TROUT AFTER A BIG ONE CAUGHT THE BOTTOM OF THE ICE AND I WATCHED IT SWIM AWAY

 

 

 

 

 

I MISSED ANOTHER 2 DECENT ONES, THEN GOT THIS WEE BABY TROUT

 

 

 

 

 

THEN SOME WALLEYE CAME THROUGH ON THE BOTTOM, REALLY DIFFICULT TO GET THEM TO BITE, BUT GOT ANOTHER IN THE END

 

 

 

 

That was it , packed up soon after that walleye and headed home, great few hours over the weekend.
