It was nice the finally meet Tube Dude. He must have pulled out a box with 30-40 of his creations to show us when we walked up on him prepping his tube. I thought he wanted to sell a couple then and there, but when I mentioned having some cash, his words were "well, I don't really have enough to sell today (paraphrased)". I thought, "wow, that guy is going to run through alot of combos today if 30-40 different baits aren't enough". That's dedication though...sometimes, I get lazy and keep hammering away with the same lures that aren't working. Only sometimes though - I think I'm getting better.
I thought Obifishkenobi was onto something. As well pulled away into the "openness" I noticed that he was staying in the same area doing S-turns...for a long time. Maybe that was Joe and I's issue - we hooked a few, but never made more than a couple passes back through to see if there were any more willing takers. Glad you brough back a nice haul Shawn. Those walleye fillets are like "fish gold" for summer fish fries. No one ever says "no" to a walleye.
My favorite part of the day was watching Joe get all worked up about the bugs from time to time. No issues on my end, but he got animated a couple times. It helped break the monotony of slow catching, but a poor day on the water is better than a good day at the office. And yes, we need to give that pond another go or two. If it only gets better from here, I'm game!!
