Got on the lake around 9:30 & off around 5:00. Fished the million dollar mile east bank. First ever Walleye for my sons two buddies. A perch colorred baitfish blade & green or yellow beads with a night crawler caught perch, SMB & Walleye.
I'm sure we'd have been able to catch plenty more but, being summer, the boys let me burn 1/2 a tank of gas pulling them around on the tube for a couple hours. I didn't think I was going to get to fish at all in the afternoon. Finally they tired of tubing & I dropped them off on the shore. I was going to work the rocky shoreline for SMB while the boys streched thier legs. I looked to the South & it looked a little gray & the breeze was picking up. I missed a couple & C&R'D a couple SMB. I looked to the south again & it was darker. I picked up the boys & as the winds Whipped up we made a run for the launch. We got off the water as it got Ugly. The rains dumped & the thunder & lightning came on. We arrived at Big Wally's prior to the crowd. Between the time we orderred our burgers and left I think they had taken another 25 orders!
The boys caught fish, played in the water, conned dad into buying burgers & got to nap on the way home. It is a good life! Andy

Hey guys, Jeremy is my youngest of three. The first two I learned on & am still learning! I used to burn them out on fishing and wonder why they didn't want to go again. I'm finally starting to get it.
dave g,it looks like you are headed for some good times at rufus, banks & roosevelt.
