unexpected catch at Hughes

[Tacklebox]

On Friday my friend Paul and I decided to do some mid-day fishing, so it was 11:30 when our first lines hit the water. Two minutes later we had our first hit. Expecting mostly a brownie bite we were pleasantly surprised when this nice walleye came to the net!

I wouldn't mind seeing these guys on a regular basis around here. After that we caught 4 rainbows in a row before hooking up with the usual suspects. The fish were eager to hit. Twice we had fish bite while hooking up the releases. No cohos today. 11 and 13 rapalas were the hot ticket for us with the bows showing their preference for orange and the rest on silver. All C&R. We stayed awful tight to shore most of the time and ONLY caught bottom twice Lots of good stained water to be found. Speeds from a pokey 2 mph to 3.5 all produced hits.

Taklebox, Congrats, and that is a real nice sweet waleye. Great to see those showing up here I also heard of someone else catching a nice 9 to 10 pounder on summerville pier 2 weeks ago as well. Good job.
