I headed out to Minnetonka last night for the first time in many months. I was chasing muskies, but they were too fast for me apparently. I didn’t see a single fish last night, muskie, pike or even a dumb bass(hahaha).
I was targeting the edges of weed flats that had deep water near by. I did find some potential walleye spots, marked a lot of fish down in that 20′ range on the bottom edges of the steep breaks.
I can’t get back on the water for a week, which will hopefully allow some of the cruiser traffic to die down. Fishing in a 1+ foot chop along with a wake or two just isn’t that much fun.
I do think I deserve the good samaritan award for the year. I pulled in a jet skier who was broke down in the middle of halstead bay last night. I know most of us hate “those guys”, but it was getting dark and I couldn’t leave him there. I did want to wake him a couple times before picking him up though.
The water temp was still 70.7 last night, but the weeds are definitely showing signs of browning up.
