I received notice from the boss on Tuesday that at the end of the day, there would not be enough work to make it worthwhile for me to come back into work. Another words, I’m laid-off!
After looking outside numerous times yesterday morning and checking the weather map repeadedly, I finally decided to to hook up the boat and go fishing. Cloudy, drizzly skies with a fairly strong south wind gave me a great feeling about how the bite was going to go. I arrived at my spot about 11:00am and caught nothing on my first couple passess.
But from 12:30pm thru 2:30pm, the bite took off and I swear if someone else would have been in the boat with me, we would have been pulling doubles that whole time.
The walleyes & saugers were just smashing my baits. It seemed as though they were trying to rip the rods right out of my hands or the rod holders.
After 2:30pm it was all pretty much over. Couldn’t get bit again for the rest of the afternoon.
Pulled the plug at 4:30pm and got hit by the first of many thunderstorms on the way home with the boat. Perfect timing & some darn good luck. Sure wish every fishing trip worked out that way.
Taking pictures in whitecaps by the way is pretty challenging. I didn’t even try to snap pictures of any other fish today. This nice 26″ saugeye though, I had to have a picture of her.
I ended up with three keepers, two shorts & six between 20-26″ long.
What a blast!

effort of only an hour or two here and there, then thats kind of what you can expect.
