The local newspaper prints the court report that lists the traffic citations and DNR game and fish violations. This past month there have been numerous “fishing with an extra line” -$125. When one needs to fish with more than two lines, it’s a pretty good indicator of how well the fish have been biting.
Last Thursday and Friday, Don’s son-in-law and two friends were fishing north of Rocky Point. On Friday I went with Don and we spent most of the day where they were. Between the five of us we caught about 25 walleyes and saugers; mostly saugers. Don caught 8 of the 25 fish caught plus a 20″ walleye that he released before I could get a picture. It wasn’t great fishing, but better than some reports I’ve heard of.
On Sunday, after spending all morning flipping pancakes at the senior center, Jim (one of the Bosch Boys) and I fished the late afternoon for pike on the Baudette Bay. We did have some action; caught three pike; two small ones and a little hammer handle and had other hits and flags. Our expert pike cleaner is gone for a week so we released all three.
Monday afternoon, Don and I took the snowmobiles to Four-Mile-Bay and fished a spot on the inside of the Gap that Don wanted to try. We gave it a couple of hours without and bite and decided that maybe another time might be better.
