Rough start

[Hog Wally]

Woke up at 4:30 am to light rain   Grabbed rain gear and figured to try for walleye.  Pulled rig down to river to find a giant tree over my road.  Had to back 200 yards up a steep narrow road with a deep ditch on one side.  After several restarts figured I'd put in at Redhorse since it's only a half mile from my house.  Pulled into Redhorse and I see a form of a person halfway down road laying in middle of road.   Awesome! I think to myself.  Another obstacle and possible confrontation!  I pull up and it's a drunk Mexican with a broken leg.  His two buddies appear from the brush and I proceed to explain how bad this could go for them if they try any monkey business.   They beg for a ride and I say hop in the back boys.  Now I'm driving these fellows all the way to town so I fill up the boat and truck while I'm there and head back to Redhorse.  Now it's like 6:30 and I'm pissed.  Missed the early walleye bite.  Long story short caught 5 over 12" and lost a gigantic Smallie on a wtd bait.

The fact they were hiding in a bush would be a no go for me.....I wouldve called the cops

Sometimes we are the cops out here.  I for sure had the upper hand

Mexicans, near a water source, summertime, no vehicle around.  Hopen you at least told the coos, because that has the ingredients of a marijuana growing operation.  But glad you  got to fish also.

Usually when you find cans laying around an MDC access, they aren't Mexi-cans!

Seen a couple guys carrying a probable 20" today.  They would hold it up and show everyone as they boated down river
