Its just west of Traverse City.
5 1/2 hr drive from the south burbs.
Well it rained buckets all weekend.
Wind 20+ and temps were 50 maybe, but i bet wind chills were 40's...
I wore 2 rain suits and long u thermax to fend off pneumonia.
Fished the weather anyways.
It was a weekend of longhours casting and partying at night with friends.
wind and waves can wear ya out, but it helps to catch fish.
(Like when you still feel the boat rocking driving home!)
Caught a ton of walleye but only 3 keepers of >15 inches.
We did catch every 14 1/2 and 14.75inch fish in the lake..
But thats fishing.
No pics.
Caught a bunch of pike and had biteoffs.
Had a nice pike pushing 25-28 and my buddy deleted it accidentally off the phone.
Too busy casting to snap pics of the eyes in the livewell.
Basically casted a firetiger smithwick about 20,000x from Friday to Sunday..
Nothing on a jig which was surprising.
Over all maybe we had numbers of fish but a few others caught more keepers.
We're still learning the lake and adding spots each time we go.
Ran out of time i wanted to troll spinners.
Tough to change when the bite is on the cranks.
We stay at a place with 6 cabins right on the lake.
We use 5 cabins for the 12-14 guys attending and 1 is the food/poker cabin.
This was my 3rd year up there for an annual trip.
We'll be back and actually more guys asked to join us.

OK KEN!

If not then somebody else is using all my boat gas!
