Windrift charters back on the water today and man what a burner it was!!! We had a great group of 5 on the boat this morning and we put them to work right away. Capt Doug McQueen and I sat right on them took almost an hr to finally get all lines in water,and never stopped we got their 40 with an 1.5 left in trip they were worn out and we headed back to dock. Today we fished deeper 24ft, 7 minnows bright colors today,1.6-1.9 speed. Thank you to our group for choosing Windrift Charters Capt Doug and I had a blast with you guys. If your looking for some great walleye action give Capt Doug McQueen at Windrift charters a call at **hidden content** not many days left.
