Our last full day and night we decide to head to Bottle Rapids again. On this cloudy and overcast day I get into the smallies with the zulus I purchased on QueticoMikes recommendation. I can not believe the action on these in current. We have a blast catching 20+ fish and I am sold. All fighters between 16 and 19. As the wind dies down a bit we start jigging for walleye. We pick up a bunch and get a nice spot doing a drift right off a rock on the American side. I pick up a 20 incher and we boat close to 20 fish when some dude and his kid who were watching us pull out a boat anchor and set up 20 feet away in our drift. If they want the spot that bad they can have it, so we head back.
