    Well, I started the morning fishing for walleyes. I tried four different wingdams and threw everything I could at every nook and cranny and NOTHIN’.

    I was just considering selling the boat and all my gear and buying a nice set of golf clubs when I noticed a little side channel that I’d never been in before. I motored on in and had a strike right away and lost a LM right at the boat on a blue-gill swim jig. I saw one strike happen and the fish seemed a bit tentative. I switched to a crank and then landed two decent LM and a northern.

    Things died off and I headed back across the main channel and fished some rocks with a crank and could hardly keep the fish (LM, smallies, and a fat rock bass) off my line. I bet I boated a dozen fish (no whoppers) in 20 minutes in this spot. It was a blast!

    To top off the morning, I tried the walleyes one last time trolling cranks and put two fat 17″ers in the boat to be CPRed.

    It was my best day of fishing this season.

    The little bass above deserves some recognition. He was 5″ long and must have been feeling pretty good about himself to smack the crank more than half his size.

    The “secret location” above is where I had my fun. I had caught plenty of fish when a tourney boat came around the barge. I waved them on over and told them what was working for me and let them have the spot as my day was nearly over.
