Our crew usually gets out some place for a fall fishing trip. This year we decided to give the Webster/Waubay area a try. Thinking we would end up with some fat jumbo perch, we soon figured out that the wind on Bitter made it tough to get to where we wanted to go. We did catch some walleye and pike though. Went to spot #2 and ended the day strong. Saturday we just stuck to #2 and after a strong start, had a big lull in the action most of the day. Our first two walleyes were 25 1/2 and 25 both released, so we thought we’d have a dream day. The pike had moved in and you either had a rock or a pike. Late afternoon/early evening the hoot owls started sounding off in the woods and with the bright moon shining through the tree branches and the waves against the rocks with the owls, it was one of those really cool moments. The walleye would move in and out of the shallow rocks to soft bottom. Some had small bullheads in their bellies, most had minnows. Some runs were all over 20 inch fish, some had those just under 15 inchers, and the nice keeper slot fish were mixed in. Jigs and minnow, jigs and gulp white twisters, (slowly hopping through the rocks)even a slip bobber rig all had their spots. A big thank-you goes out to Quintin for setting us up at his place. He had enough beds downstairs for 8 and he is central in location, 11 miles north of Webster. We made sure the rest of his family were all fed well, and had a great time. Thanks Quintin!
