    Hey Jeff, I actually have been out lately. I tried trolling near the mouth from Vinniehaha to the junk pile Saturday morning and ended up with a couple big white bass and a couple small eyes. Sunday we tried trolling from Carcajou and headed across the lake. Lots of white bass but no walleyes. Lots of other boats trolling too but only saw them with white bass too but lots of boats were catching lots of them. We all seemed to catch a school and the action stayed constant for a couple hours or so.

    Saturday PM we tried Ripley. I’d take the Kosh trollers and big open space anyday over that rat race of skiers, however I did end up with a 21″, 5 lb. large mouth bass.

    We were actually looking for northern pike both days but they eluded us. Do you guys get pike while while trolling for eyes or is there another method and/or area of the lake they usually like? Does anybody target northern exclusively like we like to do or do most of you still consider them a nuisance and annoying fish that bites your lines off while trying to catch walleye?

    My son and I went Sunday and Tuesday and justed hammered the big white bass. It was alot of work but to see my son having fun it was worth it. He also caught two small muskies and one ten pound pike. One time all four boards went at once, a four banger you should have seen my sons face. And that big pike ripped the board off which was great for Connor then he didn’t have to fight the board and pike. While he was fight that big fish I got all the lines in and killed the boat and then the game was on. All fish were CPR to. I’ll be doing a report as soon as my film is used up. Dam 24 exp. usally I do the 12 exp. Got to get a digtal.

    Guys got my new hats Monday and man are they sweet.
