Took the day off to beat the holiday crowd and tried my luck on Potholes. I put in at the State Park and headed to Crab Creek area. Tried trolling the usual walleye gear over the humps for 4 hours and didn't catch a single walleye. I had one take down and a single lonely Large Mouth Bass.

The bass wanted to take a selfie, so after the selfie, I released him back to the wild. Boat control was a mess with the wind blowing about 20 mph, thank goodness for the Minn Kota Terrova ipilot link. I don't feel too bad since I only saw one boat catch a small walleye. Everybody I talked to said they only caught a few bass and no walleye.

Not sure where the walleye are right now, but I expect them to show up later this month in the Crab Creek area. Though not a very successful day of fishing, it was better than being at work.
