Remember what I said the last trip about not catching many sheephead and silver bass??? Yeah, well we made up for that and then some today 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Got my buddy Dave, his son Dave and his friend Aaron out today and we went to work putting 24 walleye in the boat this morning! Weather was perfect and the lake was flat calm to start with a nice chop by the time we pulled in number 24. Always a good day when the captain is reeling in their limit 😎
The bad, I’m not sure I’ve ever caught so many sheephead in a single day. The walleye seemed to be mixed in with them and in tighter schools, when we would get a walleye in the net we would pick away another 2-4 and then it seemed like every line had a sheephead on it. I only ran 8-9 rods most the day because I had a hard time keeping them all in the water. We must’ve boated well north of 100 fish today including the 4 man limit of walleye.
Managed a couple nice jumbo perch and saw a few boats anchored targeting them so I gotta think it’s worth a shot going after them with the recent increase in catch rate of those tasty little fish. 1 more walleye trip to fishing off my season and it will be time to switch gears.

Great group, we all had a blast and some laughs. Think there will be some sore arms with the workouts they had reeling in all those fish today. Thanks for coming out guys and your generosity!
