Heading out to try and find some walleye at Willard Bay.  Brother Bob bought a 8 hp Honda 4 stroke outboard and we will be trying it out on the water.  It’s one of the quietest motors I think I have ever heard.

Anyway, I hope the Weasel and Bob bring lots of quarters because they are going to need them.  I’m rigged and ready!

We should be able to nail some wipers, cats and walleye where I plan on pushing the boat.

More to come later in the day!  It’s gonna be a hot one…highs in the mid to upper 80’s!

Got on the water about 7:30 or so and the wind was WAYYY to strong to chance Bob being out in the water.  With his tracheotomy tube, just a teaspoon of water getting into it could cause instant death.  So we turned around in the marina and anchored for some close in fishing.  We did have three or four bites and Bob caught the first fish, a 1/2 pound bluegill.  Probably the largest gill I have ever seen.  He said it was the largest one he had ever caught.  It’s still in there for one of you to catch later.

The wind died down noticeably and we headed out into the main water.  Set up the trolling motor and headed down the shore line.

Two of us had worm harness’ on and the Weasel had a new lure on that was guaranteed.  Guaranteed for what we will never know.  After Bob caught the first Walleye, the guaranteed lure came off and never went back on.  I had many strikes but just couldn’t hook them.  I did finally manage to bring one to the boat, another nice walleye.

A couple of guys were fishing in a tight circle around a marker they had thrown out and were catching fish like crazy.  As we went past them on one of our passes, they yelled out that they had their limits and were heading in, in case we wanted to troll through their honey hole.  Of course we wanted to troll through there.

Then they surprised us with a free fish.  They had miss counted and had one too many.  A nice walleye!  I’ll never turn down a nice walleye.

A few passes later through this honey hole the Weasel finally hooked up and pulled in you guessed it, another fine walleye.

We continued to fish for a couple more hours and then it got HOT!!!  Besides we had told everyone at home we would be home by 11.  We missed that time by almost 3 hours.

A good day on the water and good eats waiting!

Bob is showing us how long the fish are by using his arm.  HAHAHA!
