K Dock fished good today

[duckydoty]

Put in at K Dock early and headed down stream to sit in the woods for a bit.  I was hoping for a chance at a turkey to no avail. About 8:00 am a big 8 point with a little spike in tow came by for a 30 minute visit. Got within 30 yards. Already tagged out on the buck, so I just enjoyed the show. Got out of the woods about 10:15 and changed gears to trolling for walleye. Hit every flat from Drury Mincy up to K Dock before catching my first fish around noon thirty. By 3 pm had 8 walleye to the boat landing only 5 of them with one being short. Tuff to land a big fish with a 9 foot rod, a 3 ounce bottom bouncer and a 7 cm purple fire tiger flickershad anothe 6 feet from the bottom bouncer. Had to alter my technique by keeping the rod tip in the water and swinging the fish up past the boat then turning into the net. Simply lifting would bring the fish's head out of the water and one shake and he would be off. Also caught 6 of them stinking bass in that 2 1/2 hour period. Fun day!

Congrats on a good sit in the woods and a great day on the water. So were you using the ice to revive these walleye before you released them☺. I'll have to try that technique.
