Fish Catching Travel
It is 10:30 pm, we just got done with a fresh walleye fish fry, I am tired but I wanted to at least put a few things on here for you. It is a good thing I brought the Shoedog with me. He is on a roll with the nice ones. Of course when he front ends me for a week it is bound to happen. It really is not that bad, it would be hard to front end someone here to keep them from catching fish here. It is just his time. And I am not complaining.
It was windy and cold and raining like a son of a gun so we did not start until 12:20. We ended up catching around 35 pike and bass. The Shoedog put the big pike for the day in the boat, of course on a jerkbait.
Not as big as yesterdays but still a great Lake of the Woods Pike.
I caught my biggest of the day and did not take a picture because I was sure I was going to catch a lot bigger one. Mine smashed a buzzbait, and during the day I had 4 more real hooters chase it or miss it. The water is reaching the low 60’s so they are just a couple of days away. Later this happened which surprised us.
(Sorry the bass pic will not load)
He caught another largemouth and then a little later I had one smack a jerkbait and it looked like a good one but he was coming my way so even though the Shoedog said do you need the net I said no. And of course when I went to lift him in the boat he was over 5, hit the side of the boat and flopped back in the lake. So no picture of what I am sure will be the biggest largemouth I ever catch here. Oh well, my fault.
This is the best pike I landed for the day.
Funny how you get used to these and want them bigger. But boy do they smack it.
We caught on spinnerbait, swim bait, buzzbait, and jerkbait. But jerkbait is catching the most fish, but it is one of those throw what you like, something will eat it. Tomorrow it will be a morning troll for walleyes, then back to pike and bass fishing. The afternoon bite has been by far the best so we are going to maximize our time. Plus our hands are needing a rest, it is tough to throw big baits for days on ends. Like I am complaining.
So I need to hit the hay, I am tired and hands and back are hurting. Real tough life huh? So when I get up in the morning I will get the rest of today’s pictures (have some lake pictures and another fish or two) loaded before we hit the road. So keep stopping and thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
