Opener At Eddy's Jetty

Beautiful Night

12:00-3:40AM North Eddy's Jetty Mille Lacs Lake
Conditions: Mid 50's, Mostly clear with clouds moving in at 3AM, Light NE wind

My arsenal for the night, I never tried the Muse Gold

I got the chop and moon I was hoping for, and on my sixth cast with the Rippin' Rap, it was fish on.  I was the only person fishing off of Eddy's Jetty.  From what I could tell, there weren't many boats on the lake.

18" Rippin' Rap (Perch)

About 7 casts later, I had one that was just a tad bigger get-off when I tried to lift it on the dock.

16.25" Rippin' Rap

After getting this fish, I tried a Grass Pig and had a fish pull on the rail, so I switched to the KVD 300 Jerkbait.  I didn't get any bites on the first two colors, but Sexy Ghost Minnow did the trick.

The next fish was my big one for the night.

24" KVD Jerkbait

I quickly got another fish.

19" KVD Jerkbait

I then got snagged in the rocks on a submerged stick but was able to free it.

Stupid stick that was caught in the rocks.

The bite then stopped at the North harbor mouth.  I started getting fish on the North end of the Jetty.

16.5" KVD Jerkbait

That was my last fish on the KVD.  I tried a few lures without any success. I started getting bit again when I returned to the perch Rippin' Rap.

17" Rippin' Rap

16" Rippin' Rap

Around 3AM, it started clouding up, and the fish stopped biting.  I stayed 40 minutes longer than I should, hoping for that last bite that never came.
