On July 15, our friends Ron and Kathy invited us to their lovely home in Galena or what was to become an amazing weekend of fishing!
We arrived at 7pm on Friday, and immediately went out on the pontoon. Pat and Kathy started the fishing weekend by catching the first sunfish. They were using purple mini-mite lures, no live bait. After a while, Ron and I began getting bites also. We stayed on the boat until after dark!
On Saturday, we hit the water around 10:00am, and we started by catching everything!
Each of us caught Perch, Large Mouth Bass, Sun fish and Crappies, and young Walleye.
After a stop back at the house we went out in the evening, this time taking my Ipad, with a cool app called StarWalk. When the stars came out, we could orient the Ipad to the sky, and see an image of the constellation we were pointed at! Very cool.
Our lure selection had to be the pink mini-mites. Nothing else seemed to work. When I put a sinker on my line to increase casting distance, no bites. When I removed the sinker, immediate bites! If I used a minnow, I got one bite. No minnows - lots of bites.
This was probably a once-in-a-lifetime fishing weekend!
