A friend that I grew up with was back in Minnesota for a family reunion and I drove down for a visit and a day of fishing bluegills. On Tuesday afternoon, Chuck, his son Bill and I took a small boat and went to Dead Lake. It was sunny, but quite breezy. We went to a somewhat protected spot and found fish immediately. We must have caught about fifty bluegills and kept 3o in the 8-9″ range; not big, but nice. We also caught and released a small northern and a largemouth bass. A beverage and a nice fish fry put an end to a good day.
