We got some luck on Thursday afternoon.  The wind calmed down and the rain stopped and so we decided we would go back out.  Jeanne wanted to get out of the cabin for a change, so Angie stayed on land to care for Joshua.  The image above is nothing special but it does show the dramatic change in the weather from Thursday morning to Thursday afternoon.

I took the group over to an area I call the “Narrows” (my name for it), you won’t find it on any maps, but over the years I’ve caught a lot of Walleye there and some pretty good Northern.  My Dad would go there about every other day from Boy Bay because the fishing was so good.

No Jeanne isn’t fishing, she is just holding Mark’s pole while Mark checks out the water temperature of the lake.  🙂

Unbelievably we never got a bite in the narrows.  I had been told by one of the dock boys that he had caught some nice Walleye around Pelican Island.  I’ve never had any luck at Pelican but the crew were getting surely so I thought it wise to change locations.

I show you this image because this is where we had some luck.  We found a place right in front of a stony point and were just trolling through when Mark caught a 25 inch Walleye.  We had to throw it back in but now we were excited.

We caught three nice Walleye under the size restriction and a good size for eating and we were elated.  Not only that but we were getting lots of bites.  Lost a few good ones and caught some Northerns, which now we were throwing back.

We called Angie to tell her we were going to be a little late.  Of course that didn’t go over very well because she knew why we were going to be late.  She met us at the dock and was happy for the nice string we had harvested.

What a difference a few hours make.  Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are enjoying your Fourth of July weekend.  Be careful.  More tomorrow as we go back to Boy Bay.
