Wasn't planning on going out, but my cousin and his grandson wanted to go out so I went. I swing by their place and they thought it was too cold to go. I wasn't about to go back home now, so I headed to the lake.
Surface temp was 57 degrees. A dull and dreary looking day, perfect walleye weather.
Hooked into some bass and 4 walleyes. Only 2 keeper eyes. The action was pretty fast early on, but the wind changed to the east and it started getting colder. Fish seemed to shut down. I made two more passes and drew a blank, so I headed to the ramp.
CO was there checking live wells when I docked and my fish was the only ones he'd seen all day. Most the people I seen going out was going out after 9 oclock, so perhaps it was just an early bite. Might turn back on later.
Fish were caught in 4 feet of water on white. The one short male eye I caught was really happy to see me. Might be able to still get on them post spawn males.
CO told me last week they busted a boat for being over the limit. Also said a girl caught an 18 inch perch on the big pond. Now that's a pig and should be fish of the year if she enters it.
Rumor has it the crappie bite is on at Koontz.
