September 14, 2008 on Leech Lake

Rick and I again decided to do some work on shore today and wait until the evening to go fishing.

Today the temperature was a cool 56 degrees, the wind was light at 5 mph out of the SW and the skies were mostly clear. The water temperature was 60 degrees.

Rick and I started our evening trolling trip at 7:45 p.m. under a full moon. We trolled from south of Second Duck Point to north of Malay's cabin in 8-12 feet of water using #9 Minnow Raps.

Rick thought it was hilariously that he caught 3 rock bass while trolling, so I promised him I'd mention it here on the blog. But we also caught walleye, which is why we were on the water in the first place.

Rick caught a 19", 20 1/2", 21 1/2", 22" and a 24" walleye, and I caught a 14", 16", 17 1/2", 21", 21 1/2" and a 24" walleye. Eleven walleye total. Not a bad night of fishing on Leech Lake.

We came back to shore at 10:00 p.m.


This is a view of our house from near Second Duck Point. In the middle of the picture is a flag pole and white-colored martin house, that's our house. The first green boat lift cover to the left of our house is our cabin.
