Comments

It was such a beautiful evening: calm, clear and 60 degrees, I just had to go fishing. I was hoping to cash in on some aggressive walleyes that had an appetite for a crank bait.
The walleye bite was not there tonight, but I did find one spot that held a few stripers and small mouth bass. The stripers and small mouth were holding on a sand drop point with rock in close proximity.

Observations:

The lake was holding a few ducks and coot, but the numbers seemed quite low to me.
