Got on the water about 8:30 this morning and fished till just after 3.

Caught a 5 1/2 pounder on the 5th cast of the morning on a Megabass. She was in the back of a pocket, off the bank a bit, on a nice mix of rock and was probably the softest bite of the day. My brother caught two more in the 3 - 31/2 pound range in the next 30 minutes. Both on RC Stx's - the first came towards the mouth of the same pocket, the other around the point and towards the back of the next cove - on a big chunk rock.

Slowed down a bit from there. We picked up a couple 2+ pound keepers on spinnerbaits on the main lake in the wind and both lost a good fish on jerkbaits.

All of these fish came around the dam. Morning started off partly cloudy with a light breeze. As the day went on the wind picked up, the clouds rolled in and by 1:00 it was raining pretty hard. Stayed rainy and gloomy the rest of the afternoon until we left.

We decided to head up the Pomme and fished a couple of coves without much luck. We did find dingy water up to 55 degrees 6-7 miles up the Pomme arm. Didn't like the water color and went back towards Willow Winds. Caught another 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 pounder on a spinnerbait in the wind before the wind and lighting pushed us back towards the dam.

When we got back to the dam, the wind had almost laid. Bite got a lot tougher as we worked some of the same areas as where we had started. Caught a couple more on a wiggle wart and jerkbait and called it a day. Caught over 20 total with 13 keepers. Also caught a big walleye on the jerkbait and had a HUGE muskie hit a spinnerbait right at the boat. Pretty good day to be on the water.

Good report. Thanks. How big are the pockets you refer to? Pockets off main lake?

[Jbrant]

You could call them more like small coves off the main lake.
