The bite was on..

[CrowMan]

My buddy came up to visit me at my cottage today, with the plan to fish a neighboring lake. Unfortunately,he got held up and we didn't get out on the water until 1030am. He wanted to take home a couple of Walleye, but with the late start and bluebird skies, I wasn't very confident that was going to happen, as he had to leave by 4pm. 

However, the combination of a south wind, chop on the water, a falling barometer and an approaching cold front had the Walleye on a mid-day bite today...even though this is a clear water lake. This is in Frontenac which is zone 18, so the restrictive slot size often makes it difficult to put together a fish fry. We caught several others (larger than 20") outside the slot that went back to swim. Drop shot Jerk Minnows in 25 to 30 fow got almost all the bites.

As usual, my Vizsla had to photo bomb any shot I took of my buddy..

A beautiful few hours to be out on the water for this time of year.
