Hi all,
Well between all the diaper changing, crying (luckily i dont have to feed....my breasts aren't big enough apparently) and staring at our baby for hours....i headed out for a couplke of hours on Eagle lake....the snowmobile is up the creek at the moment so its an easy access point, close to home. I know i live on a lake....but Wabigoon sucks at the moment.....has done all winter.
I was hoping with the big melt we had, and warm weather , the walleye might have been stirred into action.............
GOT SET UP ABOUT 3:30 PM, GOT A PERCH RIGHT AWAY IN 20 FOW...about 10"
HAD TO WAIT ABOUT 2 HOURS FOR THE NEXT BITE WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A SMALL WALLEYE
AFTER ABOUT ANOTHER HOUR....ONE MORE SMALL PERCH
AN HOUR AFTER THAT A BETTER 15" SAUGER
SUN STARTED TO SET....STILL ONLY 2 FISH FOR SUPPER
THE BITE WAS SOOOOO SLOW AND THE FISH SOOOOOO SMALL, WAS GETTING BORED.....lol
I WAS DETERMINED TO GET 4 WALLEYE FOR SUPPER....WAS STAYING TILL THE BITTER END...SUN REALLY SINKING FAST NOW
AS THE SUN DIPPED BEHIND THE HORIZON THE FISH STARTED TO APPEAR ON THE SCREEN....GOT 3 MORE IN QUICK SUCCESSION, 2ND SMALL ONE WENT BACK, ENDED WITH A 15"
BERT WAS ON DUTY AS USUAL
SLOW DAY, BUT GOT MY SUPPER FOR 2 AND SOME FRESH AIR.....PURRRRRFECT!
