Man has it been hot. Dianne and I spent a day last week cleaning the boat from the Mille Lacs trip. Complete soapy hull wash down and scum remover with products by JJV'SBest. Worked really well. I filled both of the livewells with water and added a good 2qts of bleach to the large well and a quart to the small well,then ran the pumps for 5 minutes, this is to kill the larval stage of the Zebra Mussels (veligers). Checked for plants hanging from the trailer and motors and put the boat away for.another week.. Can't be too careful in protecting our lakes from Invasive Species. Mille Lacs has Eurasion Milfoil, Spiny Water Fleas and Zebra Mussels. Leaving the boat in the hot garage should put the coup de grace on the buggers.
I got on the water Monday with some guys from the fishing club. I was with Scott Berry in his boat on Big Spirit, it was really slow. I think we managed to catch 6 walleyes and maybe 4 perch. I had one Walleye that was 21 inches. Had lunch at the Triggs boat ramp and home before the heat was too bad.
Brother-in-law Gary Vos stayed with us last Saturday night. It is always good to talk fishing and hunting with Gary. We sent him home with a few trinkets from FFO.
I am going to try pulling spinners and Gulp with some new in-line weights that look like a little bait fish, I can hang a belly hook on the weight in case a fish takes a shot at the weight, should be interesting.
All for now stay cool everyone!!!!!!!
