After spending a few days in the Twin Cities watching high school basketball I needed to detox and do some fishing on Sunday.
After chatting with some new friends at the bait shop for a while, it was great to talk with you guys Jeremy and “Grizz”, my buddy John and I hit pool 5 for a few hours.
We picked up a few decent male walleye dragging plastics and caught a good mix of walleye and saugers vertical jigging the main channel. I have to admit I did buy some minnows and even tried them a bit but actually could not get a fish to take them all the way in and get hooked. Went back to plastics (ringworms, paddletails, and pulse-R’s) and never dipped into the bait pail again.
Nothing huge but enough keepers to stink up the fryer for a good fish fry last night. Kept 4 walleyes and 6 saugers between us but caught 30-40 total in about 5 hours on the water.
The ramp was in great shape but I hope the snow in the parking lot melts soon to open up some more room.
Good luck and be safe out there
