May 22, 2009 -- At Leech Lake

The winds today started out light at 5-8 mph out of the SW but increased throughout the day to 12-18 mph out of the west. I went out fishing at 12:30 p.m. with the temperature at the high for the day 70 degrees. The sky was partly cloudy and gradually grew to overcast.

I started drifting at the Birches and caught nothing, so I switched to the #7 Minnow Rap in hot steel color and tried some trolling in the 57.7 degree water. I caught one small perch and nothing else so at 2:00 p.m. I decided to go to shore.

I had a very nice rib dinner at the Newman's tonight and went home around 9:30 p.m. There is a strong chance of thunderstorms this evening.
