A beautiful and full day on Lake Wissota

Here’s Rick #2 with our other cat. This was also caught pitching bait on light jigs.

Birthday boy Rick with a garden variety Wissota walleye.

After I dropped the Ricks off at the launch, I picked up Sully and we talked strategy for the upcoming FLW Mille Lacs event while putzing around in the Wissota league. We had an uncharacteristally slow night. I think we had 6 or so walleyes, a smallish smallmouth, and a couple of 11+” crappies. A few of those fish came pulling cranks, while the rest came pitching or dragging bait. Sully had a decent bite going on leeches, which doesn’t surprise me too much given all the mayfly activity we had going towards dark.

The big fish in the league last night was a 25″ walleye (not in our boat, unfortunately). The overall walleye bite was slow for most guys, but the smallies are starting to pick up the slack.

It was a nice night on the Lake last night…finally not alot of WIND and no rain! Thanks for the report Jason.
