Bernie Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Hi gang. On vacation this week and been out a couple times and catching a few, no skunks. After supper Karen suggested we go out for a while. I hesitated, thinking after the storm went through that the bite would be off. But the lake was calm and would be a pleasant evening on the water. I picked one off on the first cast, missed one on the second one. But Karen tied into one, her biggest ever actually, in only a few minutes. Just shy of 26 inches. Then a couple of casts later she gets one in the slot, back it went. She lost one at the boat a couple minutes later but picked off one more before we left. We headed home after an hour with 4 pickerel. The osprey was waiting for the leftovers. All in all a very fine evening.
fishindude Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Great stuff! Looks like you made the right choice That's one chunky walleye she caught as well, congrats! Thanks for the report

The Urban Fisherman Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Oh man I miss fishin for small water eyes! Living next to lake Erie and having a small boat doesn't offer many opportunities for walleye fishing! Thanks for taking the time to post! Enjoy your holidays! Cheers, Ryan
Bernie Posted July 9, 2010 Author Report Posted July 9, 2010 Thanks guys. Gerritt, we fished that same spot in May a few times. No need to mark it. 27 feet of water. We got a few earlier in the week in close to 40 ft. I also heard guys have been catching them in 6 ft in Fish Bay. Strange. O ya....Joe, no sheephead were caught.
Spiel Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Nicely done Bernie, looks like the makings of some fine eating there.
ccmtcanada Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 That's more walleye in an hour than I've caught in multiple weekend trips up there!! COMBINED!! LOL. Great report Bernie...glad to see a successful outing for you two!
Roy Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Good stuff Bernie. Congrats to Karen on her PB. That's a very healthy, clean fish.
Headhunter Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Fantastic Bernie! And not a Goat to be seen! Karen's smile says it all! Leave a few for Cliff, would ya! LOL HH
Fish Farmer Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Congrats on the PB, nice to be able to do that in your back yard. I could only dream that. Thanks for sharing.
fishnsled Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Hey Bernie! Nice too see you and the misses spending some time on the water. I have to wonder though if that one just shy of 26" was the same fish that Joe released the last time we were up there? Thanks for the report.
discophish Posted July 9, 2010 Report Posted July 9, 2010 Are you sure the Osprey wasn't hunting you and not the fish? They are pretty big birds with sharp beaks. Good job with the Pickerel!
