Fishing was good today south of the narrows. Our group caught many walleye and bass, including a 29 1/2 inch walleye and a 39 inch northern. Bass and northerns were biting grubs, husky jerks and spinner baits. Walleye were biting minnows and leeches.

Lots of rain and wind today. Our group jigged for eyes in around pipestone in the morning with good success on minnows and leaches. Caught several bass and northern casting in the afternoon in witch bay on clown husky jerks and spinner baits. The group we had dinner with had good success trolling in witch bay this afternoon.

The weather wasn't cooperative today but fortunately the fish were. Winds were high all day so we started near the mouth of witch bay. The first minnow to hit the bottom was promptly eaten by a 28 1/2 inch walleye. Minnows were working the best in the morning producing good numbers of eyes and a few perch. After lunch minnows continued to produce, we tried a few leeches, the bite on them was a little slower than minnows but the fish were bigger including several over 20 inches. Winds are supposed to be high again tomorrow so we are going to stay close to camp. We are all looking forward to the camp shore lunch tomorrow.

Today started very windy, we did a lot of casting in witch bay today. Crank baits and spinnerbaits were the most productive for northerns and bass on north banks of witch bay. The witch bay staff fixed a great shore lunch at camp, after lunch the wind finally settled down a bit and at dinner time the sun began to shine. We are headed to the hay field after dinner to look for northerns and bass which have been reported there in good numbers.

Sunny and very windy this morning when we left camp. It took a few hours but we finally located a nice school of walleye on the edge of a hump. The top was about 20 feet deep and dropped off to 35 feet and the fish were right on the edge. The wind made it a challenge to keep the boat in position. We caught fish on minnows and leeches as well as 3 inch powerbait minnows. White spinner baits have been producing bass and northerns casting along the banks of witch bay last evening and this afternoon.

I was part of the group from Missouri that made the trip with Basscat. Just wanted to thank him for getting the board active again. Don't think that I can improve on his reports. Now that we're back we sure would like to trade-in some of those 40 degree mornings for the 97+ days we are having in MO.
I'm sure you will notice some new faces at camp. Gail and the kitchen staff are still keeping everyone happy. Steve has been putting in some good work on the road . Hank is in camp, so all is well.
Hope everyone enjoys their trip as much as our group did.
