She was a rough one Bill. I deserved some fish for effort. Friday we got on the water just in time for the wind and rain. Reports were fish were biting like crazy until 130pm. We got on the water @ 2.

We had 3 eyes and I lost a 26+"er. All the bites were just lite "taps". They were deep 20-30' down on sunken bogs. Marked a ton of them on friday, they just wouldn't eat. We bounced them off their noses, but just the few takers. Saturday, I woke up to a light dusting of snow, and a constant 20mph wind with gusts to god knows what. We fished from noon until 10pm. The eye's weren't cooperative, but the norhterns were going nuts, so we fished for them. They were biting everything we threw, but most came on a Magnum Rattle Rap. All but 1 were cookie cutter 20" hammer handles. I got a 25 yesterday, but tossed him back. Did have a Muskie follow, that made the heart tic a little quicker.

So no 1/2 dozen 28"ers, but you have to wish big. smile


Camp is where you make it.
