We had a fun trip. Had to pack up early. Fished till 2 am last night and went to go back to camp and my starter needed a tap to get it to turn over. This morning it wouldn’t turn over at all. I have one being overnighted to my house. I’ll fix it tomorrow and come back up Wednesday again.
We didn’t catch any monsters 27 and a 26.5 back to back casts and that was really it for bigger walleye. Lots of 18 to 20 inch fish. We anchored in a spot yesterday evening after a really slow day, we caught 50 plus walleye , 7 sturgeon, 3 eel pout, and a sucker all in the one spot from 7ish pm to 230 am. It was a blast. Just dropped jigs to the bottom and put rods in the holders, fish just came and pinned them selves. We battled a 60 inch plush fish for 30 minutes on walleye gear we got it boat side and I broke the line trying to get the fish a hair more forward. It was depressing, my son was bummed. But we all seen it. The girth was huge.
That anchored spot last night salvaged the entire day for us as we struggled early on. Plastics were not the ticket for us, the last night bite was on frozen shiners and a bunch of chubs my kid found at the boat launch dumped in the snow. So who ever dumped the minnows we owe you a big thanks
