On May 22, Kathleen and I left San Jose for an extended stay at our cabin on Leech Lake. Our flight left San Jose an hour late due to mechanical problems and we just barely made our connection in Minneapolis for Bemidji.
On the flight to Bemidji we met up with our friend Rick from Australia, (see the Feb. 20, 2005 post for a picture of Rick with a 50 1/2-inch Leech Lake muskie) who was going to stay with us at the lake for 10 days.
Rick and I launched the boat on morning of Friday, May 23 and instantly discovered a malfunction with the toggle switch on the ShoreMaster boat lift. We were able to use the hand-powered crank to raise and lower the boat until a replacement switch could be delivered by Shore Brothers on Saturday.
We also encountered some trouble with the Lowrance LCX-28C HD recording sonar/GPS+WAAS unit. After many discussions with the good folks at Corner Sports in Bemidji, we figured out it was simply a loose connection between the unit and the fuse panel. With the wire firmly connected, the unit was back in business providing our location and showing us if we were on the fish or not.
What follows is a series of fishing reports from my stay at one of Minnesota's premier fishing lakes, and my home waters, Leech Lake.
