Saturday was a cold, windy, rainy day but the lousy weather did not discourage the hundreds of anglers who fished Leech. Fish were in predictable areas that were wind swept. Yes Don, Pine Point was like a Walmart parking lot. Bumper to bumper boats with 25 mph winds made for an exciting experience. With that said, the fish were also there in numbers. Several limits were caught in the Pine Point area with fish on the point and down both sides north and south of the point. Most fish were in 8 feet of water, shiner minnows with Lindy type rigs or jigs were the ticket.

Sunday morning brought sun and the wind died down a bit. We fished a few areas and caught fish on most. My Grandson Jake caught the biggest of the day a nice 22.5 inch fish. He caught another slot fish and I noticed that he had hooked the minnow behind the dorsal fin and was dragging the minnow backwards. I questioned his technique and he replied "I want the minnow to swim to the walleyes". Well it worked, it looked different than the other thousand jigs that infested the area. Family went home after our traditional fish fry, beautiful day and another opener in the books. I went out sunday night, the full moon rose around 7:15 pm and I caught a limit of slot fish, the biggest a beautiful 25 inch fish, with a 24.5 and two just over 18 inches. I called it a day, a beautiful sight, full moon and a vivid sun set. Life is good.
