Almost a skunking at UL today

[MSM1970]

Wife wanted Walleye dinner tonight so headed to Lincoln Beach this morning.
Fished from 8:45am till 1:45 pm.
Only one trailer in lot so a little panic of ‘bad fishing’ set in.
54.9 degrees to start, 57.5 to end.
Spent 45 min throwing jigs on rock shelves outside of orchard, then 1.5 hrs bb’ing in same area.
No fish.
Headed to Bird Island and bb’d around entire island and about 12:30 had one hard hit.
Hit ended up being a nice 3.2lb male.
No more hits, one and done.
That was my first boat trip of year and that one Walleye saved the trip, AND possibly my marriage as Blondie had her heart set on fresh fish for dinner tonight.
The top pic is for Bob.
I bought my Ulterra in ‘15 or ‘16.
Solo launching since then on most of my trips.
Have not lost my boat,
Yet….

So your killin me,  congrats on the perfect eater, was he still milting?  wishin I cold have been there, weather was perfect, surprised also no one was else was at the launch, well BLK,  he usually starts to come out of hibernation first part of april, with the water being full this year, it has changed where you will find them a bit, think shallow for tossing jigs, -5 ft,  bb will be better this year with the high water, trolling with cranks should be good to, they should still be spawning, orchards right at the end of the driveway is a good ridge that comes out into the lake, great for WB to there's another one to the south of there in front of the house , it should be about 3ft water on it.

Man I need to go fishing.
