Devils Lake 7/11-7/15

Devils Lake, ND – If you haven’t fished here you haven’t lived – Quote from the famous yoda aka Kurt Turner…. Arriving on Saturday the lil’ woman and I didn’t get on them quickly but had fun fishing memories… (what would life be w/o memories? hmmm….) Sunday we found a nice 1/2 mile slide loaded with “meat-eater” fish (14-17″ eaters). Not sure how to say how fun it’s been other then 2 pounds of large leeches later… Enuf! We haven’t targeted bigger fish but the rod benders have made this a trip to remember….. Simple fishin’ – 1/4 lindy weight, 7 ft lead w/standard orange bead/hook (have you ever seen how much fresh h2o shrimp these things can crap in your boat? I’m a tad anal about a clean boat and this is unreal…. More cheet than s/b legal! Ok now the bad news…. Major barometer changes… 65 degree high w/ 40 mph wind gust… Dam, hat in July, gotta luv the upper midwest… Fish have scattered and the Lakeview Lodge deck w/a cold one is where it’s at…. More when we hit home in Kasson. Tight lines – Kurt

Your fingers must be all cut up.

Just lit up this fine Cuban grape Swisher sweet to be interrupted by this fine tasting 17 incher….

He’s not joking about the wind, kept me from mapping on the lake for the last two days. Going to be interesting, the guys are coming in for the MWC.
