spent some time on baptiste last weekend.
intended to use our buddy's cabin as a launch point and fish calling but we had lightning 90% of the wekend so we stayed close and fished baptiste.
this coupled with my outboard crapping out made us only able to be out friday, a few hours sat., and a few hours sunday. very sad... :cry:
when we WERE fishing it was very GOOD tho!!!!!!!!!
easily got our limit of one each per day!!!!!!!!!
each day we landed a dozen or so pike and walleye each.
the best fish were a 71cm pike and a 55cm walleye.
the coolest part was friday.
we tried perch fishing for a few hours.
landed dozens but no big ones.
they were very bitie tho. got a few trolling full sized spoons!!!!!!!
the cool part was that while perch jigging, we probably landed as many wee 3-4" walleye as we did perch!!!!
awesome to see future 'eye populations doing so well!!!!
all in all, a dissappointing weekend due to weather and motor trouble but managed many good fish a had a ton of fun!!!
cheers, gw.
