Every day is a great day on the water!!

It's been a great week to be a fisherman, I got the opportunity to get into the panfish and "eyes"  a couple times this week.
 Tuesday night I had the opportunity to fish with a long time friend of mine from Iowa. We were targeting walleyes after dark and decided to hit some offshore structure on "Area Lake" (my favorite lake) , after working various humps and points with minimal success we headed back to shoreline structures to find some very aggressive "eyes" .Small minnow baits in 8-10' of water trolling slow (1.7-1.9 MPH) turned out to be the ticket boating 13 and missing a few more!!The biggest that night was a hefty 26 with 3 more over 20" (released) all in all pretty good fishing for just 2 1/2 hours.Unfortunately,I have no Walleye pics as my phone decided to go for a swim and now I am the proud owner of a "smart phone".... not by choice but necessity.
 My mornings have been in search of bull "gills" and crappies, and this being my first trip out in the Bemidji area since post spawn, I decided to fish deep to shallow as the morning progressed hoping the gills would move up as the sun heats up the shallows.Deep water produced a few fish but the bite was slow , and by late morning fish had started to get aggressive in the shallows and found a few "bulls". biggest being roughly 10 1/4 inches. The Crappies were active as well and found good numbers but only average in size.
 The presentation of choice (by the gills) was a small bobber and leech, with the Crappies wanting a small jig tipped with plastics.
 Gotta run!! Tight lines and fast action to ya!!
