Dianne and I just got back from Reddoor Resort on Mille Lacs. We had a wonderful week inspite of a tree branch falling on the hood of the truck during a storm and denting the hood. At least it didn't hit the Ranger. :-) It rained and blew a couple of days as well.
However, we caught plenty of walleyes. Dianne caught her personal best Walleye of 26.75 inches and her personal best Smallmouth Bass of 18.5 inches. I put a 28.5 in the boat. We brought fish home and generally had a fine time with the Dicus's. Great food, great company etc. I did notice the bigger walleyes seemed to me to be skinny.
The Humminbird 998SI worked flawlessly and I got a chance to run the edges of the mudflats with side imaging to really put it through the paces. The technique that worked the best was #6 red hook, red or white bead, 10 foot lead and a large leech. We caught them on white Flicker Shads and 3 to 4 colors of lead core. We also caught some on Berkley's new Flicker Crawler rigs with #2 blades. The blades on these rigs are really nice.
