S30, episodes 21 and 22 of Planer Boards

Walleye fishing was Great again this weekend!! The East side of Kelly’s Island produced a good grade of fish up to 27” long today! They’re actively feeding on both shiners and shad—they’re puking them up in the fish tank. The morning trip was with Jack and Bill Robinette, up to visit the peninsula for the weekend. We started in the same spots as last weekend with flicker minnows in white and perch-colored patterns out behind our boards, just 30-40 feet. Before we could get the last rods set, it was “Game On!!” Ideal speed was about 2.2 mph. Limits of walleye were caught, along with a couple nice smallmouth and only one or two farm animals. The second trip was with the Westfall party—Rachael, Cody, and Chad. Although the sun was high and the water was clear, the fish stayed right where we left them. It’s like the Golden Corral—those big fish don’t stray too far from the Smorgasbord! Shortly into the second trip, Cody started us out with a slam dunk on a nice 27” fish!! ?Limits of fish were had by all, and it was a Beautiful day on this Great Lake! Ended out with a treat from Brown’s, a fresh Catawba peach Sundae! ? Good Luck to the Softball Girls today and GO Quakes! (Exception to 9/26, GO Bears!) Trip is available for next Sunday.
