Mid week report.

[Spitnargue]

Hello All,
I guess I can write this report early because the wind is REALLY blowing now and it appears we may be done fishing from the boat and will be heading back to Iowa tomorrow bright and early.
Due to the wind in 5 full days of fishing we were able to venture out of the bay we were in twice. While fishing was very slow for us in the boat last evening two fellow resort cabin guests did very well on the eye's. From what I could gather Hardwoods and Second Duck were the spots but because I was not there I cannot attest to the fishing method of presentation or depth (just got to witness the stringers!!!). I must say the fishermen that venture out in 4 foot waves are a hardy bunch; I tried and while I had enough boat the feeling was less than enjoyable so the venture was cut very short.
The resort here at Brindleys is top notch with a very helpful and freindly staff. The daily resort activities kept our family entertained and we enjoyed each and every day.
The perch fishing is tremendous off of the dock and we should be able to take home enough for a meal or two. Sorry for the poor fishing report but I can promise it is not the lake but the fisherman!!! Until next time, Kevin.

Don't be so hard on yourself!!! It takes a special person and boat to tackle four footers!!! You were able to fish and find other options for the family. Perhaps finding other smaller waters in the area as a back-up plan might help with the fishing pain for next year's trip...

Hello Mark,
Thanks for the advice and no worries on my earlier statements, I know I am not very good at walleye fishing...... But that does not keep me from trying!!!
Leech Lake intrigues me and on the days that one can explore it's waters (without risking life and limb) small lakes cannot compare. The next time I do this Brindleys will be the resort of choice again with one change, instead of renting the Lund Alaskan with a 75 Honda tiller. I will rent one of the larger, deeper Lunds; the 20' Lund Fisherman dual console not so I can go out in any inclimate weather but as a way to reach more fishable water. The experience of Leech Lake is wonderful, the town of Walker welcoming and I cannot look forward more to the next time I can spend some vacation time here on Leech. Goodluck all, Kevin.
