Hey all,
I want to share with you my most awesomest experience today at Mallard Lake.
Time: 3:45pm
Air temp: about 43F
Skies: Heavy dark clouds
Wind: can't remember the direction, but it was about 8 to 10mph.
Well,
A friend of mine and myself, decided to try Mallard Lake again. Since we were there 2 day's ago, and it was very cold and windy. We didn't manage to get anything, other than loosing 2 crankbaits somewhere on the bottom. Today, something told me I'm gonna get lucky!! And BOY!, did I. We started on the canoe launch, but that didn't get us anything. So we walked over to the north pier. I start by throwing a RatL type crankbait - 1/2 oz. Because the water is still cold, I'm thinking I'll let it sink to the bottom, and very slowly retrieve it. And that's all it took. He NAIL'S it! The thing was, is that I didn't feel much of a fight, until he was about 20 or so feet from me. Then the fight was ON! He weighed 3.11 lbs. And just a hair short of 20inches!! This is my first Walleye of the year. Hopefully, not my last!!!!.... :):):)
