9/29 Horseshoe Bend - caught a 250lber

[AR Huzgr]

Last day camping at HB and had a dozen crawlers left so went out for a few hours this am.   Stayed close to home as didn't have a lot of boat gas in tank.

Water temp 75, light breeze that picked up to a little chop later am.   I didn't get started till 9:00.

Thought it was going to be a catfish kind of day as caught 3 channels to start.  Fishing bottom bouncer crawler harness.  

Fished various main lake points.  Found 2 walleye in 27 ft (just under keeper size).  Could see a number of them on graph in small area.  Caught another jigging a white war eagle spoon, till day ended a abruptly.

Managed to step on a treble hook that I couldn't get out so back to dock, got boat loaded (not so easy with hook in foot!) And was able to work it out back at camper. 

Maybe I'll wear shoes next time!

I fish barefoot in summertime as long as carpet doesn’t get to hot and I worry about this …dang …I can’t even imagine!

I could probably do a better job of putting lures back in the tackle box after each use!  Next time!

After multiple hooks in the hands and fingers, I began to use a Boga grip to protect me. I will be darn to suggest a tool to save you feet. Oh. Wait. Shoes?
