We have groppel |
When I arrived at midnight and saw the conditions I thought this is something I can work with. Waves were coming in hard out of the North. I put on a Rippin Rap. After one color change it was fish on.

Same fish as first picture. |
I was lucky to land her as she slipped out of the net. I dragged her on shore by the lure that was hung in the net. Once she was just barely safe on the rocks she came off. I decided to do the netting from the dock after that episode. I missed the next bite I got which felt like a good one. For the next three fish no net was needed.

I decided to throw the X-Rap off of the dock and was rewarded with this 22" fish.

22" X-Rap Albino Shiner |
After this next fish I was getting cold so I went to the car for a half an hour to warm up.

23" Strike King KVD Jerkbait Bluegill |
After getting back from warming up I promptly backlashed cutting my line at the reel. I quickly grabbed my Mojo Crankster and another different colored KVD Jerkbait and started casting hoping to catch my line. I caught the biggest walleye of the night instead.

KVD Jerkbait Strobe Shad |
After not connecting with my line and not getting anymore bites on the KVD. Some people from the resort came out and asked what I was fishing for and if I was having any luck. I tried a few different lures finally connecting after several missed hits on an Ultimate Jerk Shad.

13.75" H2O XPress Jerk Shad |
It was coming up on 4AM and I was getting cold again, so I decided to head home, pick up some bass stuff and head to the GOMH. That move didn't pay off. I didn't catch anything and only saw three small toothy's get caught. Nothing at Bulldog and Rock as well. I called it quits at 7:00AM
I put new Fireline on the Mojo Crankbait Rod
