Mini date night this evening. Launched at the north marina about 5:30 pm. No wind and almost glass conditions. Headed to freeway bay and fished crawler harnesses and some cranks. Didn't go far and a freight train whacked one of the harnesses. Took drag, shook a bit and then came unbuttoned. Went a little further and another fish on the harness. This one was smaller and felt like a walleye, but part way in it came loose as well. Trolled around for a while and nothing after that. Lots of bank tanglers along the southeast side coming over the dike. But I never saw a fish caught.
We pulled up everything and ran to the west side. Put out the poles and within 5 minutes got a hookup on my wife's pole on the dike side crank in 13' of water. Turned out to be a 19" walleye. But that turned out to be the only fish of the evening. We were off the water just after 7:30.
When my wife and I fish Willard we nearly always head to Maddox afterwards for dinner at the drive up. Love the chicken and their banana splits are huge and really good.. Did the same tonight.![[Image: image000000-6.jpg]](https://i.ibb.co/sysh9P7/image000000-6.jpg)
