The water was pretty calm today as Tim, Kous and I headed down to Windmille Pointe to try some night fishing. A lot of people were at the pier, because of the fireworks downtown most were spectating but a few were fishing. I got really tired of fishing quickly (there was a time where I'd pull a 3.5lb Smallie out of there a night) because I haven't gotten anything there in what feels like weeks. I started out throwing my Rat-L-Trap trying to unskunk it. Had no luck what so ever and switched to a white tube that I bounced up in down in the current...still nothing. I switched to my walleye colored shad rap and zilch. Tim started out throwing a Jointed Shad Rap in a brown crawdad. He pulled out the first fish of the night a 13 and 1/2 smallmouth that barely missed the cutoff for our tournament.
I couldn't buy a bite so I started screwing around and trolled my Heddon Tiny Torpedo around I almost caught a Gar Pike on it, but fornutately I didn't. Right when I was ready to go I headed up the pier to tell my friends the news. I was watching them troll and Kous hooked into a 20inch 2lb 12oz Walleye on a bleeding olive minnow rap. This fish put him in a commanding lead for the tournament this week, because of our doubling system. He now is winning 4lbs 4oz to 1lb. We took the fish home and filleted it, currently its in the freezer getting ready to be cooked up tommorrow. I'm pretty sure I will pan fry it with for either my secret Walleye nuggets or try a new recepie with an Italian spice to it.
The results for today are that the Minnow Rap produces as usual and its another big fish. Its a great buy for anyone looking for a solid big fish crankbait. My impatience definitely got a hold of me today. The fishing at the pier since the thermocline has been terrible and this definitely had an effect on me. I'm really want to catch some big bass and I think I found an area where they may be. I just need to use my raft to get there. I'll probably hit the Milky River tommorrow after I cook Kous' Walleye for him.
