Walleye Presque Isle 6/22-23

New boat (for us) shakedown.  Got a late start Saturday (6:15am), headed through the channel and around the point and set up in about 40 FOW among the zoo of boats and headed WSW.  Found out quickly our subtroll wasn't working, so no down speed.  Took us a little bit to get everything set up and learn the nuances of the boat.  Took us longer than we though but finally got our three man limit around 1:30.  Riggers with UV Stinger Scorpions and 8 color core with watermelon Stinger Scorpion too most pf the fish mixed with a few meat bites.  The next morning was pretty much the same program, but with the exception of nearly getting ran over by the barge headed out.  No joke, if we had a 10 color out, it would have been gone.  Pretty slow , got our two man limit around noon, watermelon spoon again the hot ticket for us.  One more week of this, then salmon time in Ontario.

lol.....we saw the barge heading towards us Sunday morning.....no way was I getting in its way. It was an absolute zoo in 40 to 50 FOW. People heading every direction. Did you get to see the regatta heading out right around 6:am ? I was so glad they didn't head west off of the point. 

We took a 2 man ticket of 18" to 22" fish in about 3 hours. First hour was trying to locate them and set up a program. Took 6 off riggers with pink backed hammered spoons, and the other 6 on a dipsy with spoons. No plug bite, and no lead-core hits. The lake laid down and the bite peckered off.

It was a great day on the water, one of the few where the lake was almost too calm !

We wanted to see the poker run, bet headed to where the fish were instead.  It's hard to convince the old man to leave the dock before 6, but he's starting to realize the bite shuts off quickly as the morning goes on.....i'll make him a believer of having lines in the water way before the sun comes up soon enough.
