Hit Starvation today. When I arrived it was a dang mad house where I usually spend my days. Besides Tubedude and the gang of other tubers I bet their was 10 boats out there this morning. I had to fish while cranking my head behind me all day long to make sure that I was not going to hit anybody or cut anybody off. I wish the boaters had that kind of consideration but you cant get everything can ya. Anyways It was a very slow start for things to start heating up, fishing that is not the weather. It was great. Around noon I finally hit a little perch on a bouncer. Hey no skunk I thought to myself. Nobody else had caught much of anything that I saw except TD's first walleye. Then after a little while I caught a very small little guy that made me feel like I was doing alright compared to most. I then heard from the tube gang some yea hah sounds and someone had caught a walleye and another hoot another fish landed by the tube gang that was hanging out in an area that I call the ZONE. After a little while later everybody seemed to disappear except Tubedude. We had a nice little chat and he floated over to a point and caught a little smallie. I was determined to catch one of the fish in the ZONE so I drifted out with the wind into about 25-30 feet of water. No hits dang. I decided to switch blades on the bouncer and drift in one last time before I had to go to work. On my way in I got a slight tap on my rod, then another. I fed the fish a little and he took the bait with force. OHHHHHHH MANNNNNN here we go again I thought to myself and just when all the witnesses in the float tubes were getting out of the water. So I was alone in the boat with another hog of a walleye. I had my camera and took the best pics I could then let her go back to catch another day. I needed to get back to work but decided to fish on the way in. WHACK and another fish on. It seemed like the fish new that I had to go so they decided to make it hard for me to leave. On my way in I got atleast 4 more good bites hooking one more fish and loosing it after a couple seconds. What an hour for me it all happened between 3:15 and 4 o clock PM. Makes me want to fish the evening this weekend. So it ended up being a great day for me and the tuber gang. I think we outfished all the motor boats for sure. Good stuff as always here are some pics[fishon]
