Well, another year’s spring trip to Red Wing has come and gone. Six days at Evert’s is always the perfect remedy for a long winter. We even coaxed a friend of mine to travel all the way from Portland Oregon to get a taste of what pool 4 has to offer. We had a great time, and as always, Dean was a great host.
We started slow, but figured things out as the days passed, and by Thursday, we were into some solid fish. Both Friday and Saturday were good days. We never figured out where the big girls were laying though, or at least where they were laying and willing to eat. Kevin Sime (Whiskerkev) took the big fish trophy for this year with a fish of 7.2 pounds. We had a good week, and as always, learned a lot of new things.
Here are some pictures from the week. Phil took a couple hundred pictures, but most of them don’t have any fish in them. Until next year, thanks pool 4, I miss you already.
1. Kevin Clark (netman) with a 4 lb 12 oz sauger that was the early leader for big fish.

Thanks again for the post guys…
