Headed north for the weekend to help my parents with a few projects. On the way back, Brian and I were talking about how warm it was and the fact that neither of us wanted to sit in a tree stand. He said "we should go fishing". Although he doesn't come up with many great ideas, this one was one of his best. I even told him it was!

I searched the lake for several different schools of fish, marked them on my GPS and then slow trolled 1/16oz and 1/8 oz jigs tipped with minnows. Although I thought they would like the twisters and sliders today, they didn't. It felt like we caught a ton of fish but when we counted them in the livewell before transferring them to ice we only kept 14? I almost thought we had a hole in the livewell. That was until I remembered throwing a ton of fish back that for whatever reason didn't meet our standards for the day. I think we lost way more than we caught.

Kept 14 fish with the biggest two being 12 inches. Great day on the water, nice temperatures, and the lake all to myself.

I'm normally the one taking the pictures. Not often I post one of myself
