NOTES --------------------- No herring to be had so went with shiners. Water temp was around 37 degrees (ice fishing soon?). Friday, got an 18 inch walleye and 3 yellow perch. Sunday caught a nice fat 27 inch 4lb. 13oz. pickerel on my ultralight tackle, couldn't weigh it in because the weigh stations were closed, and a couple more perch. The lake is real quiet with only a few boats on the water, just the way I like it.

We went for a ride an an amphibious car (1966 German Ampficar) at the state park with one of Webguy's buddies.

NAME --------------------- Jim Archambault
DATE ---------------------- 11/6 & 7
TIMES --------------------- 10am-3pm both days
CONDITIONS ------------- Sat. warm - Sun. windy and cool
AREA FISHED ------------- Elba Point to Bertrand Island
FISHING METHOD ------- Sat. trolling - Sun. live bait
BAIT/LURES USED ------- Rapalas, Phoebes, and herring
NOTES --------------------- Saturday was a beautiful day with warm sun but a little windy. Trolling along the shoreline, I boated 2 pickerel and a yellow perch, all in all a little slower than I had expected. Sunday was very windy and cool. I couldn't see battling the wind so I anchored up out of the wind by Elba Point and used herring. I caught a 20 inch walleye, a 23 inch pickerel and 2 yellow perch. I tried jigging for the first time with herring and caught the walleye and a perch, I think I'll be jigging more often, especially now that the water temperature is below 50 degrees.
