8/10 - With the poor water quality on the south basin we’ve been running to the north end lately. I’ve had some great clients on the boat this year!
Water temps dropped down some last week before creeping up again. Water temp was at 77 degrees on the north basin Sunday.
Great job Myles on your first musky!
Walleye has picked up some in the last couple of weeks. We’re not slamming them but picking some up jigging from the w**d lines out to 25’ of water. Hard fighting White Bass are in the mix as well.
Tight lines!
