Cherie and I had a great time yesterday. We didn't have any fligs with us--stupid me! When we found fish we stopped and jigged, but most of the fish were suspended.
Cherie is ready, I think, to try out the float tube!
The company was great. The fishing was fun. However, I am now addicted to the float tube, and since my fishing skills on the tube are improving I was a little envious of those fishing in a tube.
Bottom bouncing worked great last year when Cherie went with me the first time. We caught large walleye and many of them. However, I had a little trouble with the motor yesterday and I couldn't troll at the speed I wanted. In retrospect, I also think our bottom bouncers were a little too light with the existing fishing conditions (motor and water)
We trolled a few crankbaits after you left. Crankbaits (walleye divers, etc.) are better in the early morning than in the afternoon, but we did catch one perch on a Reef Runner Deep Little Ripper (Red Hot Tiger color).
Great experience with my wife. She had a great time, and I did as well.
