Dad’s up at 530am and making coffee. I get up at 615. Dad’s already drank all the coffee so I shower and head to the lodge and get coffee from the lodge. Breakfast is french toast and sausage.
We head out at 8am, and head towards Walsh bay. We find that there is so much fog that we can not go as far as we wanted to since we were looking at an island but the fog made it look like a canoe and paddlers. We trolled around the chromosome and headed across to the shoal between wippers and Long island. We trolled around there while getting rained on. We trolled more down Long island’s southern side where the stumps were. We continued to head south towards Walsh as the fog lifts. We troll around Walsh catching a couple bass while having our lunch. We head towards diamond chutes trying to stir up anything. In the chutes we get hits but nothing to catch. We head back up the channel hitting shoals before heading towards the Gravel. We hit there and then continue moving north towards the fish market but as soon as we put our lines in, it starts to thunder and lightning and it’s time to head in. 2pm and we’re drying off our clothes to go out tonight.
For dinner we had peppers wrapped with steak and a chocolate type desert with some cinnamon in it.
We head out about 630pm down to Sucker Gut again and immediately start catching walleye. Difficult time trolling back and forth though due to the heavy winds. Dad caught a 21 inch walleye and I caught a 22 inch. I casted along the shore line and wound up pulling a 23 inch Pike out and into the boat before it cuts my line. We moved up a bit at 830pm to the channel where we caught a bunch last year and caught a handful including the 22 inch. Dad’s line gets snagged and winds up being cut. We do one more pass and head in. 2 walleye for breakfast, 3 walleye for home and 1 pike to go home. John the dock hand tells us that no one really understands and knows where we are going aside from the dock hands. They said they’ve never heard of anyone catching them down there before.
1030 rolls around and we’re both passed out.
