opening weekend, highs and lows.....

[EYE SPY]

Well the opener finally arrived and tough fishing followed right behind, partially anyways. Saturday we had lines in the water by 4am. After hooking boards with another boat and only landing one eye by daybreak we were ready to leave the circus and try something different. We started to work some bait pods away from all other boats. Turned out to be a good move, finishing the day with 10 eyes, 4 browns, 3 northerns, a giant smallie(6 1/2 lbs) and a cisco. We were also sitting in 2nd and 3rd place in the snug harbor derby. Not a bad day after all.

Sunday was a different story, the weather again was making fishing tough and our spot that was free of boats the day before was no longer a secret. We did manage to land two, one even coming from the rigger but we never found the big bite to keep us on their board. All in all great weekend and I hope everyone else enjoyed it the same....

Great job! Thats a good day of walleye fishin in the golden cresnt. We fished 3 days and only caught 5 eyes. We fished from the head to the state park. Marked alot of fish and bait but jst couldnt get the rod to do muc. But i will take 5 eyes over 50 salmon anyday and that place sure beats trolling the plain south shore of lake o.
