June 1, 2009 -- At Leech Lake

The high temperature today hit 60 degrees with a low of only 37. The winds were relatively calm to 5-8 mph out of the ESE. The water temperature was 60 degrees.

Using jigs and shiners, Rick and I drifted the boat off Second Duck point in 8-12 feet of water and caught several perch, including a few nice jumbos. All were released.

We then came back on shore to finish hanging the door in the game room. With that chore mostly complete -- some trim work still needed to be finished -- I cleaned and cooked the 16 3/4" walleye from the other night for dinner.

After dinner, from 9:00 -- 10:20 p.m., Rick and I again trolled Minnow Raps for walleye. We fished in 8-12 feet of water from Malay's to the north to between Duck and Second Duck Points to the south.

Rick caught two small 12" walleyes and I didn't catch anything. Nonetheless, it was good to be out on Leech Lake.
