That’s a good one!!! LOL We (brother-in-law, Kurt) used to give my father-in-law a hard time fishing those in the stumps on Nelson Lake. We were in 8′ of water, in the wood and I think we were using slip bobbers. He would always get snagged and we were catching walleyes. One of the best fishing trips I ever had in the Hayward area.
Now both of them are fishing with the big guy upstairs. They both went too early, Geno (60) and Kurt (42). I remember at Geno’s funeral on Lake Ripley, we actually fished with one off the dock and we actually caught fish that day (never caught much off the dock at that restaurant), he was looking down us!!!
I bet those stumps are shallower!!! Great lake!!!
