Well as they say, "It's my story I can tell it any way I want" so this is what I'm going with. It was all my buddy's fault. Not me, no,no, no way. It started this way. He didn't even wake up until 15 minutes after he was supposed to be at my place. Then he couldn't get his garage door open and couldn't get to his gear so he shows up at my place an hour and half late with no tackle, no rod, no lunch. You have to consider that this is a right handed person the holds his spinning rod in his left hand and reels with his right, so right off you can see what I'm up against. So I grab an extra rod and away we go. So we finally get on the water at Porcupine just before 9. Mind you I wanted to go to down by Lincoln but he twisted my arm and me being old and with a bum shoulder mind you. We had heard maybe there was a water clarity problem on the Arm but I can't put any of the blame on that, seemed pretty clear to me. So we finally get some jigs in the water and about 10 minutes later I have our first Eye. Decent start thinks I. Well we worked around that area and gave them a decent chance but couldn't recruit and more volunteers. Later we were bottom bouncing further up river and Wes caught another eater and once again we hoped for the beginning of something good but it was not to be. So we finished the day with only 2 fish that while both were Walleyes they were such different colors that you wouldn't believe they we of the same clan. All the whining, sniveling and just general BS aside we hadn't been out together for quite awhile and had a good time so I gave a 2 fish day a 3 rating. The only logical conclusion is I just need to get out there more often and get a handle on where they are at.
It's all good, stay after them, it's the right thing to do.
