Brother and law and I took his boat out to Ft. Spokane. There were a few boaters out, but we were surprised how few on a Saturday. Maybe it was due to opening day of late season or something. We were on the water at 7:40.

We caught em' early and often. Biggest fish looked to be in the 4-5 lb class 20+ inches with a few of the 17-18 inch fish. The rest were the standard 14-15 inchers.

We caught em on perch pattern, and pink hoochie all tipped w/ worm. By 10:00, we were loaded up and heading to Porcupine Bay to take a stab at the Walleye and Burbot.

We got to above buoy 5 at 11:50, and jigged the s curve on down for a few hours with little success. We moved down to buoy 5 at about 2 and fished till 4. We caught 5 dink Walleye and 2 burbot with a number of misses. We were jigging and using blades. All bights came with the worm. No particular color seemed to matter, but fishing was slow.

All in all a wonderful day of fishing. It was sunny till about 3, then started to sprinkle as we were pulling in at 4:30. Couldn't beat it.
