John Lipetz and I were on the water just before 11a (I love winter hours).
We put in at Lander and the goal was to fish some deep holes (8-11').
But before we did that, we worked another area of shallower water. It was very fishy looking...
...but after an hour without a bite, we went to our target area.
Not another person in sight. Just eagles and turkeys!
John said he was going to win big stick of the day but I connected with this one...
The lack of bites had us giddy.
Finally, around 1p, John connected with this very fat 15" walleye!
The skunk is off!
A few minutes later, I saw a fish come up and eat a bug (there was a major hatch going on) which startled me. At the same time, I got hit by this nice 13.75" smallie!
Now we both had our skunks off so we decided to eat lunch.
Other than being a nice guy, John always brings a great lunch. Today's sammie was outstanding!
Ham and Havarti PILED up on home made rye bread from Best Buns Bakery. Man, it was good!
We went back to fishing, tried a lot of places, threw a bunch of lures but no more hits. Water temps started off around 41df and finished out at 43df.
We were off the water by 4.
A good day out but our beloved 'mac River is hurting for sure.
