As promised I wanted to let you guys know how we did on the vaca two weeks ago.
We stayed up at Tomahawk Lodge the week of June 28th. As you all remember,, that Sat, Sun and Monday was 28 mph winds and gusts up to 40! Nothing we could do about that other than play spoons in the cabin 
Tomahawk is on the east side of the lake and I had no way to launch to boat from the west. We WERE able to get out to another local lake (Gull) to pull some raps for Northerns on Monday afternoon, at least it was some rod bending!
Tuesday morning I finally got out to bust up some walleyes.. I had about a 4 hour window that morning to do what I could do. Being it was my first time on the lake I was flying somewhat blind. It started out slow but got better as I figured out a few things. It seems the walleye crop on Blackduck is in that 12-14″ range.. Things will be looking nice in the years to come. We picked up a few of those along with a couple 17″s and then……………………………………………………………………………………………………..I lock into the big daddy! When trolling lindys the little walleyes would bite with a tiny but very distinct…TICK. This bite was a classic! Slow Graboid… then THUMP! Awwww,,here’s a good bite I said to my fishing buddies. A good hookset and it was on. This fish stayed down like nothing I’ve ever seen. She immediately headed to deeper water. No short quick runs at any point during the battle. It was all nice slow pulling runs which made my knees shake. I would get her to the top just to the point where I could see my sinker ( 7′ snell) but not the fish. At one point I got a glimps of her about 12′ from the boat but then down again. I was able to bring her up three or four times but not quite close enough for a visual confirmation. Then, the brother-in-law said, Oh My God!! Of course I didn’t see what he saw and I about fell over the knees where shaking so badly. Keeping in mind there was no reason for me to think this fish is anything other than a 30+ walleye. Well, a couple minutes later she gives up and I slowly pull her up to the surface,, I get her to the top and I hear, OH NO! from one of the guys. Yep, An 11 lb SHEEPHEAD. 
No doubt it was exciting and I always try to learn something from everything I do. In a way, she was very very good practice for when this happens again and it is the right color fish. An exciting time nonetheless.
The rest of the week provided great walleye fishing conditions. Mostly I would get out for 2-3 hours at a time and would end up with 6-10 fish each trip. The smaller fish would bite at any time during the day. The better walleyes would participate later in the day.
We didnt have much luck at night but only got out twice. I wasn’t convinced that I was in the right place or depth for night fishing, but we did manage a handful each outing.
The depth I was in all week was 12.5′. I would range from 11 to 14′ but the lateral range of the lake floor from 11′ to 14′ in depth would range from 50 to 150′. They were grouped up pretty nicely when we would locate them.
I was able to pick up a few 10.5″ YellowBelly Sunnies- 1.2 and 1.3 lbs. I decided to net both of them~. 
All in all it was a great week, we made the best of the weather and the time on the lake. It’s a very nice place to be and boat or recreation traffic was never an issue. I’ve had no time to upload my pics but do have a couple from the phone attached.
