Above is a picture taken this evening from the edge of the harbor at our Leech Lake house. You wouldn't know it from this picture, but earlier in the day it was very windy. Under overcast skies and a temperature of only 68 degrees, the winds were relatively strong at 10-20 mph from the SW.
Despite the wind, I decided to do some more drifting for panfish since the bite had been so good the previous two days. I used a 1/16 oz. Northland Neon-tone Gum-Ball jig and a gold Colorado spinner blade, tipped with either a Gulp 2" orange grub or a Gulp 3" pearl silver minnow. And boy did the fish go after these baits today.
Drifting north from in front of our house to just past Norm's cabin in 7-10 feet of water, I caught dozens of good-sized perch, including some jumbos, a number of good-sized crappie and bluegill, and for good measure, a couple of rock bass (the scourge of Northwoods fishing; although they do put up a good fight).
In the evening I stayed on shore and enjoyed watching the beautiful sunset with Kathleen. Anther great day at Leech Lake.
