Comments

Today I met up with a friend of mine and his son for some fall walleye fishing. The fall sauger bite is definitely on! The conditions this evening made efficient fishing very difficult. A stiff south breeze below any dam on the Mississippi makes boat control very difficult. And when you are talking walleye fishing boat control is the name of the game.
Norm ended up keeping three saugers and one flat head for the skillet.
