Hey,
Decided it was time to try something different for a change and hooked up with a couple of old fishing/drinking buds from the Phelps,Wi. / Land O Lakes area and fished some inland lakes for a change. Besides freezing our butts off like everyone else , jigging was not an option, as we were chasing flags all day and night. Fished Fri night from 4:30 till 8:00 and ended up with 5 walleyes , 1-perch and 2 northerns with lots of misses. Largest walleye was mine of course, at 26" . The next day we travelled to a different lake targeting northerns and from 2:00 till 8:00 we landed 2 -12" perch and 17 northerns and was too tired to count all the missed flags. Brought back old memories of when I lived on Lac Vieux Desert lake .
Despite the sub zero weather we had a great time and did well for the time we put in . Hardest part was keeping the wet hands warm. Had more action in two days than I've had all season here on the Bay. That either says I suck on the bay or the fishing here just aint the same.
By the way, Man have they got the snow compared to us. I'm thinking the snow cover may have a lot to do with it. Good luck. Slammer!!!!!!!
