August 28th Report

The day began a little later than I like, but nonetheless we were on the water by 6am. We started out on what I call my morning milk run – from the Lunge Lodge rock, back to the lodge. Sid caught a hammer handle while I managed only a couple of little pike that swiped at the lure.

Once again, we tried acting as guides for the Daugstrups, taking them up to Satchel’s in an effort to help them find some walleyes – but, since I don’t spend much time looking for those toothy critters, we came up short, although Mike Daugstrup managed to catch a slot fish while trolling.

Meanwhile, once we started casting, I nailed a decent 30” 6#. pike on a 10” Suick, just minutes after Sid experienced a musky follow on his Jammer. I was so hoping it was Esox Mosquinongy instead of Esox Lucius – but hey, it fought great!

After lunch, Sid boated a fine 5 lb. pike while I followed it up with a 3 pounder off a reef in the main channel.

Later that evening, I too had a super nice follow that appeared to be at least a 45” fish on a black and orange top-walker.

It’s beginning to get exciting, stay tuned tomorrow…
