] It was a very fun day, even though we couldn't manage a single 'eye. 1st fish of the day I had at the surface and 12-14" walleye chased him right up next to me. If I was fishing a tandem rig I would have had him. [laugh] Both TD and I fished large plastics, feathered jigs, and baits to try and coax one to the tube. I did have one real good pick up and run soaking a dead 3" chub, but I swung and missed.
It took a lot of work to get the fish today. Except for an hour where the fish schooled under our tubes, we had to do a lot of casting per fish. Not that I am complaining, though.... in that hour we both managed about 60 fish a piece. [

All in all it was a good day. Pat is a very accomplished fisherman and he has taught me a ton. I appreciate it. He is also great company... a laugh every 30 second or so... about the same rate as he catches catfish at Willard...LOL
Good times! []
