Tim Grossnickle and his good buddy Mark Bergstrom were my lucky guest today. Lucky for them they were dressed for sub-zero weather because it was cold out there today.
Although the morning was pretty slow it was not a complete bust. We managed to pick up a few on blade baits. Mid-day was still slow with the lake giving up a fish or two while trolling cranks and late in the day proved to be okay on jigs & minnows.
Mark definitely had better luck than Tim for most of the day. Tim didn't get shut out though. He put a walleye or two along with several white bass in the boat while using a jig & minnow. I'm pretty sure Mark caught at least one fish on everything we used today. Nice job Mark!
We ended the day around 4:00pm with eleven walleyes & saugers. Four saugers over 20 inches long and the rest were all in the keeper size range.
Certainly not fast and furious but at least the guys were rewarded for sticking it out and working hard under some really tough conditions.
Main lake temperatures are running anywhere from 47 to 50.5 degrees depending on where you are in the lake.
