I was away for the 4th and no where even close to water. Quit holding out and let me know how did it go this past 3 day weekend. Are the fish biting? What did you try doing? Bobber bite good @ Dark? Rigging, Trolling or Pulling Spinners during the day.
I know, I'm dyin' to know, too! I was out in SoDak all weekend with the gal's family and our Saturday morning excursion to Waubay was nixed due to too much wind for our small boat.
I'm actually getting back up to the cabin next weekend for only the 2nd time this summer - my god!!! I was up nearly every weekend last summer and only once so far this year. I guess that's what women and baseball schedules can do to a man....

C'mon somebody break down and say something.
Frogs and tubes have been work here!!

I ended up working on Saturday, didn't get a chance to get out to the "pond". I hear ya, waiting to see who's going to post a report. Going out on Thursday 7/10/08 to Lake Michigan to go after some Kings, Rainbows and Koho's.
I know - I have been away for too long! Headed up Thursday to give it a shot any how. I spent some time chasing salmon as well but can't wait to get back to the pond!

Ok, the transformation to the dark side had started last year. Maybe it is nearing its completion. I run a “multi-species” boat the totally leans to the bass boat side. I think I have more bait casting outfits than spinning . I bought more 15-20 pound line this year than any time in the past. At any given time I’m set to toss out tube jigs, texas rigs and skitter pops.
Bottom line – I’m having a ton of fun this year and learning something new each time out. And a lot of what I am learning directly translates into a lot more bite fishing the river for walleyes. It’s definitely making me a better fisherman!

Yeah, Good thing the Malmo Market has the right tube jigs too! You know the bite is good when you bump into JJ and he's buying more jigs for the smallies at my favorite ice cream shop
As for this angler, it was the first time I had my oldest brother and nephew in the boat on Mille Lacs this year. We went out Friday morning and did fairly well on the "Bitcher" flat, concentrating on the top lip to the base of the flat. We caught the majority of the fish using shorter rigs (4 to 5 feet) and leeches. You knew when you had a bite. There was NO feeding of the line!
Soooo..... How did it go???
