Yesterday was a just about perfect day all around. And so far this year, my best day yet. Got on the water about 0800 from the south marina. Water levels seem to be up a bit more. Air temp 60 ish, water temp 62 and up to 73 when I left at 1600. Wind was variable, some times a bit blustery, others quite calm, but never so bad as to chase me off the water.

Started out running kind of north-east out of the marina, at 0811, was trying out a couple new lures, after about 15 min. and seeing the clarity of the water, swapped over to a couple Rat-L-Traps in Fire Tiger and lime green.
Made a wide left turn back towards the west, and as the line on the inside of the turn slowed and hit the bottom, first hit of the day.

I looked around to see where I was and turns out was out in the openness about 1/4 mile off the light pole. Started moving in some lazy S turns, varied speed from 2.0 to 3.5. Just at another left turn, second hit.

Wiper hit like a FrontRunner, but wasn't in my personal keeping size limit. CPR.
Pretty much the rest of the day went like that. All fish that were caught on lures, were all on those same 2. Caught a couple more Cats later on some drowning night crawlers. Days tally, 1 Wiper, released, 5 Cats, 1 released, 2 Walleye.
And oh yea, not a Fishing subject but my first granddaughter was born yesterday also.![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif)
