Fish Being Caught Everywhere, But No Feeding Frenzy

After a wonderful full night's rest, we are off on day 2. Joe and Andy try The Shore and Bill's Bay, but no action. Next stop, the Narrows, and as has happened in the past, good fishing prevents any further move. In the end, estimated 30 fish caught, three keepers, an eater. Very windy and then rain squalls. Unhampered, the fisherman stuck to their trolling/drifting strategy. (Too bad that Joe forgot to bring his rain suit on the trip, although it was entertaining to watch him put his "emergency" poncho to work!)

The Mike and Bill boat, inexplicably, work Rapala Reef despite the high winds. But fishing is good. Then off to the creek in Big Bay and the fishing is magical. Another 30 boat catch, with Mike's 20" walleye being a highlight. Size of walleye's caught is in keeping with the past few years.

Fried fish for lunch. Never better.

Evening fishing is pretty good. Rained off and on all evening. Joe and Andy fish Dave's Island (nothing) and then move to Dave's Shore where Joe lands the leader walleye in the clubhouse - a 24" (5#) walleye. Picture and then released. Then off to the creek entrance in Big Bay - many fish caught, but no keepers (which is now set at 17-18").

Bill and Mike took a nostalgic Rockface Tour. They set a target of catching 20 walleye and made it right down to the end - including 2 keepers.
