First time on the pond this year, I was accompanied by my oldest grandson, his girlfriend, & my oldest son. Had baits in the water about 0730. We were running two planer boards with cranks and two down riggers, one with a crank and the other with my special worm harness. Ended up with our limits of wipers and walleye with one nice channel cat in the 4 lb. range and headed off the lake about 1230. Fish were pretty eager to bite. Looks like as of right now if you can put a lure in the water you are probably going to catch fish. My grandson's girl friend had caught wipers before but never a walleye, she ended up putting several nice walleye in the live well that went 20 to 22 inches. They are not as healthy looking as the eyes we caught last weekend at Starvation but made a nice mess of fillets anyway. We didn't fish the hotspots the majority of boats were fishing,but found the fish pretty much scattered across the lake. It was a beautiful morning with a breeze out of the North to keep the bugs down most of the time. We will probably hit it again this Friday for a 2nd round. [fishin]
