dunkirk 9.24

[times two]

Well, got up this morning as usual prepared to go to work....looked

at the forecast, then looked out the window at the lake......definitely

time for a ME day!!

So off I went to spend some quality time with my seaswirl.....

Started off running 2 slide divers...hit a walleye pretty much right

of the bat...175 back, 2.5 on a rainbow chatterstick..80 fow....circled

back thru a couple of times...all the hooks ....GONE. Trolled

north to 110 fow...hardly marked anything so its time to move.....

Decided to run to the border...set down about a mile short...MAN

WHAT A SCREEN! Fish moving on big clouds of bait...best I've seen

here all year!!! Finally changed over to 2 riggers so I could work the

rods a bit, and got another walleye...green chatterstick on a 65 rigger.

Also got a sheepie....and that was it. Beautiful morning on the lake.

Got my 7 yr old from school...decided to try for some perch....tried that

for an hour or so...no marks...1 perch....

WHat a nice day for the end of September, though!!

Glad to see they haven't headed west yet.......

But would think they would start moving up in the water column, man they're deep.

Ihope to make it there at least 1 more time this year

i stayed in the 80 ft range fish and bait everywhere nothing,pulled my stuff at noon and went 20 miles west to my honey hole west of barcalona. more fish and bait on the screen .couldnt even get a crap fish.The radio talk was slow and complaining at both ports. Like Capt. john said great day to be on the water.with the screen i had i should of had a boatload,the biggest diff was all the bait balls they were being fed on for shure so tight that the rods would rattle everytime i went through them.

Ray:

That's kind of how its been the last month or so...lots of bait.

Difference lately is I haven't seen as many fish on the bait as

Labor Day weekend..'cept for what I saw offshore yesterday.

Also got to see the wind farm across the lake!

For what its worth, one of the walleye I got yesterday

spit up a bunch of newly swallowed bait, which matched pretty

close in size to the chattersticks I ran.

The other neat thing...I've seen this on LO, but not here...was that

I was watching the furuno, and noticed that my DR went from 1.8 to

1.4, then to 2.6....fish on!
