Fishing Report for July 2
Yesterday morning, guided out on the West side of the chip out of Pat's Landing, had about a 24 inch walleye follow a chatter bait to the boat, but didn't eat it, then I got a backlast, and when I reeled up, I had a fish on, I fought it to the boat, and it stayed deep the whole time, and I never saw it, but it had a lot of weight to it. Pretty crazy that is the second fish in a week to eat a bait while picking out a backlash. My client also had a walleye about 24 inches follow his bucktail up too.
Last night, guided out on the east side of the chip out of Treelands resort, client had about a 36 incher follow a cowgirl in some really thick weeds, then we fished a wind blown main lake weed bar, and he got a nice 38 incher on a cowgirl. Right at dark we fished pete's bar, when my client caught some line, so we brought it up, hoping to find a bait, and we did, then we kept pulling the line up, and eventually brought up a rod and reel, looks like it got thrown in the water that day, so if anybody lost a rod and reel, give me a shout, I have it hear at my house.
Today, guided out on the St. Louis River, fishing was ok. Got about a 40 incher on a cowgirl, and another about 38 inches on a suick, all in cabbage. Also had a fish follow in a River 2 Sea Kong very hot, and went around on a figure 8 but it didn't eat, that fish was about 35 inches or so. My client also lost an upper 30 inch fish on a cowgirl in shallow cabbage again, so the action was pretty good, but no big fish showing themselves.
Good luck,
Tanner Wildes
