Boo-yah!

The proverbial Boo-yah exclamation came into play yesterday, as a couple friends and myself manage to bag a good number of walleye. They were taken from a canoe, in an open stretch of water that was basically foreign to all of us. Others we talked to were not faring quite as well. We did see a couple that were taken on jigs, but casting and retrieving rapala's seemed to be the ticket for us. It sure was nice to get off the ice and move around a little while fishing. The biggest of the three walleye pictured below was 21 1/2 inches, and the other two were 18 1/2 inches long. Perfect eaters.

River Time

Spent some river time on the Saginaw today. Managed to land about 25 fish between us, but only kept one. There are a lot of small fish in the river right now. However, they are a blast and we had pretty much nonstop hits and fish between 3 and 6 o'clock. Jigs tipped with minnows seemed to be the key, those using jigging rapalas weren't having as much luck.

This type of fishing will be one of the first I will introduce my kid to. Consistent action for the whole amount of time we are out there is a big plus, as it will help to get him interested in fishing through catching his quarry...
