What a Saturday of Fishing
GOOD MEMORIAL DAY weekend!! Hope your weather has been good enough to enjoy some time with your families. I started fishing on Friday morning fishing with Zach Dagel on a very windy day at Big Winnie. At the landing we looked out and saw 1-2 foot rollers on the lake caused by 10-15 MPH winds and the rodeo was on. After slapping the waves for about 5 to 10 miles to the to the north shore we started fishing, oh by the way there was considerable moaning and wincing from the punishing ride across the lake. The first area produced no fish so on we went pounding ourselves as we moved further west away from the landing, this is important because eventually we have to go back….HMMMMM. Finally among 20-30 boats we found fish and the catching was on. In about 2 hours we caught 20 + fish with most of them in the 14- 16 inch range great eating size fish. I wish I could tell you about how many times we pounded a wave on our way home, I’ll just say it was more than 2. Did I mention during most of the time fishing it was either misting or raining….FUN FUN FUN.
We had so much fun on Friday we just had to do it again on Saturday…RIGHT… But with very light winds and driving to a landing closer to the fishing area the ride was smooth….TY TY Zach. The area that produced the day before was slow at best Zach had the hot hand and picked up 3 or 4 small fish. After zig zagging between about 100 boats and very few fish seen caught, we moved to an area that had only 30 to 40 boats. In this light traffic and getting into the trolling pattern we found the fish, and found some bigger ones. The largest being 22 inches.
Now most people would say Time to go home after 2 hard days of fishing its time to go home and rest. COME ON now, being that it was only 3PM I called my brother-in-law Jeff and said Z and I would meet them at the dam for an evening of wader fishing. After putting the boat away we made it to the dam by 5:30. Jeff and his friend Merl already had 2 nice walleyes,a great start since I have heard no good reports coming from above the dam from the wader people. Zach got into the water and in 10 casts had 2 very nice fish. The evening was great with very nice fish being caught. Merl being a newbie to the wader fishing scene did great and caught the big fish of the evening, 22 inches of Winnie walleye put a big smile on his face. I hope you enjoy the pictures from Saturday. The fish-o-rama isn’t done today Zach, Mickey and I are heading to Winnie for an evening outing.
