We spotted this rare sight while heading up the lake this past Sunday afternoon and I just couldn’t resist sharing a shot of the Wiener Mobile getting a lift on the only "Free Ferry" in the State of Wisconsin. The Ferry operates 24-7 and will go across the lake at any time, day or night, to pick someone up. Even if there is no one to take along over to the side where you wait, the Ferry will come and get you for "Free". Not to many deals like that around any more!
As for the fishing report, we’re going to keep it short this week. I’ve got a very sore back and it isn’t feeling any better when I sit here in front of the computer.
The techniques we used and the depths of water we fished in were exactly the same as the past couple of weeks. The results on the other hand were not quite as good. Thats pretty much to be expected when your faced with two straight days of bright blue skies and heavy recreational traffic.
That being said, mornings were definitely better than afternoons and the guys still put some decent fish in the boat and they took some home for the supper table as well.
Biggest walleye this weekend was a 21 incher caught by Bob Wenger while trolling crank baits and the best sauger of the weekend was also a 21 incher caught by Kevin Renolds on a night crawler rig. Several very nice sized crappies were pulled in by a couple of different guys as well.
Over two days of fishing the guys pulled in 37 walleyes & saugers of which eleven were between 15 and 21" long.
Kevin and Roger, it certainly was nice to see and fish with the two of you again. (Kevin was on his third trip and Roger took his second trip with me on Saturday morning.
Mark Nelson fished with me for the first time Saturday evening and I wanted to be sure to send him a very big "Thank You" for helping me get the kicker motor up and running again. Very much appreciated Mark!
Everett Lindsey and Bob Wenger fished with me on Sunday morning for the 3rd or 4th time. I can’t remember for sure right now but as always, it was another very enjoyable trip with the two of you.
And finally, Mark Seidler and his father-in-law Jim Sawyer joined me on Sunday evening. Marks second trip and Jim’s first. It was nice to meet you Jim and good to see you again also Mark.
That’s it for this week. Good luck out there on the water!

Jack..
Thanks for the report and pics Joel. Hope the back is feeling better. Take it easy.
Thanks, Bill
i always love the bonus crappie pics. nice hog.
Everett Lindsey is the fellow with the big crappie. He caught two like that while we were trolling for walleyes and he put them both back in the lake. I believe it was 14″ long but do not remember for sure.
Jack, my back never hurts as much when I’m fishing either!
Odd thing is, it hurts more when I’m at work. Go figure!
