Hi everyone,

Guided a half day yesterday. Still no Walleyes but a couple dozen largemouth bass and a couple more dozen smallmouth bass. Add to that about a dozen Northerns, a pot full of blugills, some perch, and a crappie. All on crankbaits. Blugills have really big ideas when they start hitting crankbaits. Also had a musky follow my crankbait to the boat. A small one about 30"es. That was still exciting.

My self and client Gary had fish on that we lost that just seemed to be Walleyes. We never saw them and they were big fish, but after you've caught a zillion Walleyes, you just know when you have one on. Both fish were big enough that we couldn't control them as they went out to deeper water after we hooked them. At least I know where they are so I can chase after them later.

The water temps were right in the 73-74 degree range all weekend. Still way to warm. I hope we get a major cool down soon. Along witht he warm temps was an up surge in the bugs. They were hatching each night by the gazillion. The lights on my suv were obliterated by them when I backed down to pull the boat out. A couple of nights of frost would be good. Not for the tomatoes, but for better Walleye fishing. When the bugs start to deminish and the minnows and young of the year fish get cropped way down, then we should be in for some fabulous Walleye fishing for big fat Walleyes. Call me. We can set up a date to catch them.
