BW 11/2

[lund1]

decent alewives at the dock light fri 10pm....Sat AM i fished the top of Gills ....planers and flat lines .....not a single strike. Marked a few singles down deep in the main channel. Spent the afternoon up the BW, magnum and above....caught 3 decent fish, biggest to 30''...all on down rods. Ran over a really nice school at one point...2 rods got slammed, 2 more got hung up....not an easy thing when you're by yourself and the wind is blowing hard. I know I looked pretty darn foolish scrambling all over the boat...God bless Minn Kota auto pilot.

Came home about 5:30...poured a healthy cocktail....took one sip and heard my 15 year old son's muzzleloader go off.....no rest for the weary...man I hate dressing deer. Shot his first buck though.

Great weekend at the lake.....got the serious itch to get back out there.

Nice report Lund! Have to love the doubles when you're buy yourself. I'm not sure which was worse - the wind or the leaves..... at least you could sometimes avoid the leaves... no so much with the wind......

Nice to hear a good report on the BW. I would not dress a animal my Son harvested. I will supervise but he is on his own. Glad he got one.

Well said Gator....I should have said I hate to supervise the dressing of a deer....he did it himself with a little help from dad....still a messy task before dinner.

Nice Lund. Double jealous. Didn't get to fish or hunt but hearing your success is nice too.
