July 26, 2008 on Leech Lake

The temperature today hit a high of 75 degrees. The winds were fairly strong at 8-12 mph out of the SW, with gusts up to 20+ mph. The water temperature was steady at 74 degrees.

For dinner tonight we had the two walleye and one perch that we had kept from our previous few days on Leech Lake. It was very tasty dinner and got us all in the mood for some fishing.

At 9:00 p.m., Ashley, Joe and I went out trolling. As was the case last night, Joe was along for the ride in the boat and to use the landing net, but not to fish. Ashley caught a 16 1/4" walleye and I caught a 17" walleye. Since we had just eaten fish for dinner tonight, we decided to release both 'eyes. After just an hour and fifteen minutes on the choppy waters of Leech Lake, we made our way back to shore to play some ping pong and pinball.
