The cold front came during the night. It got down to 35 degrees. It's sunny and very calm with fog out on the lake.



We are not in a hurry today. It's oatmeal and coffee then out on the lake to find some walleyes. I got skunked for the longest time before catching a 16 inch smallmouth which I kept. Then later in the afternoon while using one of Bob's small white twister jigs in 20 feet of water I boated a solid 18 inch eater walleye. That was it for me for the day.













Bob had good luck jigging and got a 19 inch northern and 2 nice bluegill. I offered to filet our fish while Bob went back to camp to start a fire.
