Day 3 of 5
Tuesday, June 02, 2009 We get up and decide to head for East Pike for the day. First cast from the end of the portage before putting the boats in and my dad battles a nice musky for about 5 minutes before it finally breaks his line. We had it very close to shore but never landed it, but what a start. Battling a strong wind up the far shoreline we catch many nice smallies and 4 or 5 25-30" northerns. On the way back in the afternoon we are not as lucky on the other shoreline with only a few bass and a couple northerns. Back to John by 6:30 to eat dinner and go fishing again. Better walleye fishing this night, but still nothing to get excited about. Not too sure about the Gulp Alive leeches, only two fish on them the entire trip.
