Once again Joe and I launched the boat as the sun sank low in the western sky and stayed out only an hour or so, until 9:45 p.m. The temperature today was near 80 degrees and had cooled to the low 70s when we started our trolling mission for Leech Lake walleye.
The winds were at 10 mph out of the south and there were big thunderstorm clouds looming in the northern sky, which flashed nearly constantly with lightening. It provided us with a brilliant light show, and was not threat to us at all as the front moved slowly to the northeast.
The water temperature was 73 degrees as we made our way south toward Second Duck Point in 8-10 feet of water. Tonight was a rare night when I was completely skunked, not a single fish boated, not even a rock bass.
Joe, again, had much better success. Using his trusty #9 purpledescent Minnow Rap, Joe caught two beautiful "eater" walleyes -- one 16 3/4" and the other 17 1/4". We kept both of them for a future fish fry.
