Friday Morning On The Upper End

[rps]

Left under the moon and ran down past Eagle Rock. I spooked the main lake gravel finger points between the Roaring River and Owl Creek. I caught somewhere between 12 and 15 (I lost count) but only had 2 keepers. I did have one toilet flush bite and had the fish long enough for the drag to go ZZZZZZZZT!

Later in the morning I trolled a silver/chartreuse wart at the mouth of Rock Creek. I caught three walleye off the reef there at 18 feet in 20 to 22 feet of water. 17, 19, and 21.5 inches.

This picture isn't very good, but will give some idea of the walleye.

good looking walleye, glad to see they can be found. Looks like your boat is back up and runnin. Will be down next week looking for one just like that. Keep me updated RPS and I will do the same when I get there.

After more trouble than I thought possible, I have new sonars (less expensive ones than before, but they work), a remounted trolling motor, and a neutral switch in the throttle box that again allows me to start my boat. Some of the problems were wear and tear. Some were the result of goofs by my former marine mechanic. I don't wish to discuss the cost. Instead, I choose to be happy I am again able to go out.

I hope to go out again in the morning. If I do I will post results.
