Rice Lake - 18th July - three walleye, busiest I've ever seen the lake

Most the panfish - 5 sunfish from yesterday and 1 blue from today are ready. Second round is for the cat fish and remaining pan fish.

The pan fish being so thin cooks very fast. The cat fish takes a little longer.

Ready to eat!

Came out terrific with just one fillet left over for 5 years ols's lunch at day camp tomorrow!

Thanks

Looks very tasty as usual!!!!!

Last trip out yesterday - Sunday with wife and 5 year old. Two lines out both with real worms. Tried different harnesses with different set up.

One harness got 90 plus percent of the action. Other 1 hit only. Resulting in 1 blue gill and only a few worms fed to the fish. I think that winds were too high and pushed boat too fast so bait / harness were too high. I could've added more weights . . .

End of day fours on the water on an extremely hot day and we survived. We had various things for the youngster to do including eating lunch. Last hour we went east on lake to check out area near the old provincial park Serpent mounds. Then did slow drive back against he waves and wind. Five year loved sitting in the bow!

As for testing against the trigger-x - plan to do so soon - once I've gotten a baseline with the worms. And then I need a second fishing person in boat . . .

For those of you who haven't been out on Rice on a sunny day with high winds - to me it was bizarre - all these bass boats flying by in all directions. And I mean flying - airborne at times . . .

And the bass boats didn't look all the same but close to the same - so could have been the same 3 buzzing the area (not) . . .

Thanks
