5/26 trip report final trip with rich and family
We squeezed in the final trip for rich and his family this morning. Got just a small rain for about 15 minutes the rest was dry and overcast. We boated them their limits of walleye and mine too. These guys are taking home 168 walleye fillets to feed their families. What a fantastic fishery we have right under our noses. I try not to take it for granted as it is a gift for sure. We ran bandits flicker minnows 9 and 11 at 2.0 leads where 10-25 back and the fish where snapping. Broke off a few boards on monster sheep head but got them back. Fun fishing this morning. Some will be back in 3 weeks for another 3 days and they booked 3 days in March to trophy fish. Good people and good fishing.

Thanks Capt Sam for all the great reports you provide on this site.Really helps us all be more successful fishermen.Noticed how you have been using the flicker minnows lately.Considering buying a few.Can you suggest a good starting size and colors to start with?

Re: 5/26 trip report final trip with rich and family
I have been running #11 and #9 minnows in perch pattern and purple chrome and blue chrome. Try to figure out the size bait the fish are eating and match it. I was doing ok on the #11 but found some bait in a fishes mouth that was a little smaller so I put out some #9 and did better.
