Fishing with Mike & Burt
A few of the die-hards are still boat fishing the river and the fishing has been good. We are in the midst of a few very nice days with temperatures in the 30’s and if you are dressed properly it’s not bad out there.
I received an invitaton from Mike L. to go with he and Burt L. for a late Saturday afternoon of fishing on the river. They are not related, just their wives are teachers and Burt was also until he retired this past year. We fished up river by Hattie’s along with three other boats for about 1-1/2 hours. WE (they did most of the catching) must have caught about 20 walleye and sauger, kept our limit of 12, all about 14″ to 16″ and headed home at dark. It’s cool as the sun sets and ice gathers on the end of the rods. A good blast of cold weather will freeze the river over.
Deer season is over and it was good. Five of us got nine deer. Gerry got a nice seven-point buck the second Sunday afternoon.

Deer Season
Opening weekend was good. Saturday morning Wally got his buck, a very nice eight pointer. Eric shot a fawn buck. Sunday morning was good to me. I shot three deer, a nice doe with my rifle and two nice bucks, both about six pointers with my camera. I also missed an opportunity for a picture of a very large buck, but while fumbling with my camera he walked off the trail. That all happened in a period of about one hour.
On Saturday, Terry, Wally and I tried fishing the middle of the day for better than an hour and caught nothing. Friday evening I fished for an hour and caught five walleyes. I kept my four and released one 24″
