Tuesday morning came and we woke up to a heavy fog. Once it burned off we were out on the lake. I've made a few trips to Disappointment so we started off searching for smallmouth bass and pike. We didn't smoke them but we found plenty of fish eager to bite. We caught quite a few smallmouth during the day fishing Quetico Mike's Zulu Rig. The walleyes managed to elude us the first day despite us visiting most of the spots that we had caught plenty of fish from in the past. Looks like we were going to have to spend some time searching around if were going to find them the next few days.
