Fishing with Jim and Dan 6/12/15

We launched out of Mazurik's just a little before 6am and headed up to the Gull Island Shoal area to pull crawler harnesses. It was calm when we first got out there and we pulled three walleye in the first half hour. I thought it was going to be an easy day by the looks of it. But, then the wind picked up and they seemed to shut off on us. We made some minor adjustments in our lure depths and started picking at them again. It was not fast by any means, and we didn't get their full two man limit by the time their trip was to end, but some of the fish they did catch were very nice fish.

Crawler harnesses with #5 & #6 colorado blades with copper undersides was best. Anitfreeze and pink worked too.  The bottom bouncer didn't catch squat yesterday, like it had the day before....hmmmm. Still scratching my head on that one.  I ran all #2 Tadpoles to make it slightly easier for them to read the boards at the following depths...21, 23, 25, 27, 31, 41, 43, 45, & 55. (Not all at the same time, of course. We only ran two boards per side with one bottom bouncer off one corner).

When the wind kicked up we made a run in towards Kelly's and set up on the west side of North Bay and made a pass through there. We picked up one or two walleye along with some whites and some sheep. So, there are still some eyes in that area too. Still good marks, that don't all look like white bass. :)

I had the 13th off....so, I cut the grass, and forgot about having to do their blog. But, I didn't want to just blow it off, so here it is. Short and sweet. 

They were fun to fish with, and Jim got a gold star for learning so quickly and elevated himself to "first mate" for the day. ;)

I'd say, "Stay tuned"....but, today's trip results are coming right up...lol
