I camped at Potholes State Park for the weekend and brought my kayak along. Due to excessive winds which are common at the lake I stayed close to the park. There seemed to be a bass tournament going on and a lot of boats were inside Frenchman Hills Creek.

My fishing was a variety of techniques including baited worm and Gulp! egg off the bottom with an egg sinker, a jig with a Gulp! minnow swimbait thingy, bobber and worm, and a few different crankbaits.

During the course of the weekend I managed to catch trout, walleye, catfish, small mouth bass, and carp. Unfortunately the boaters often would wake me while I was anchored and clearly visible. Hopefully they can be more thoughtful in the future.

A good time was had.

That's a nice size walleye, I want to head out there soon and see if I can pick a few up. What seemed to be your best tackle/bait combo?

Worms is the best bait. Caught fish on jointed Rapala perch crankbait. Good luck

Too funny. No I threw that bass back into the water. I assure you that I am a true carnivore. The problem was I already had half of that huge walleye to eat. Plus the bass were spawning so I thought it was probably the best thing to do. LOL
