mike rousseau Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Got out tonight for a couple hours of walleye fishing... Or so I thought... Get to my buddies house to pick him up for fishing... Realized I forgot my wallet and cell phone at home... Go back and get them... Now I'm behind schedule... Get my stuff... Hit the road... Doin good... Launch the boat... Get on the river... And it is awesome... It was like glass... Not too warm out... Not too cold out............. Then I look north.... Not good... Big storm heading right for us... So we decide to do a couple runs before the rain hits... We got 1 dinky walleye... And the motor is chugging bad... I figured I had bad gas... So we take a run to avoid the storm and try to get stabilizer at a marina... We managed to dodge the storm and altho the marina was closed the owner came down and sold me a bottle of stabilizer... Both issues solved... So off to fishing again... But I can't hit my milk run cause the storm hasn't passed yet...( oh yeah... I forgot my rain jacket...) so im kinda fishing dead water... Finally the storm fully passes... After 8:00pm!!!!!!! Hit a couple spots really quick and managed 5 walleye in under 2 hours... Poor numbers compared to what I've been getting for the past 2 months... However... The "whip cream" One of the walleye was 28.5 inches long!!!
