fish fish fish..everywhere! Dean and I worked the waters from early morning till 10pm each day. Yes some very cold ones. Dean got a few firsts like a mooneye and biggest largemouth. He had the hot rod and boated a few pike in the 25.5" range and a 19.5" walleye. My digital was full from the previous days pics..we caught too many. 
Friday we noticed most of the boats head down the river..sounded crowed so we looked at the map and said upriver looks good. A stop at the local eatery and a conversation with one of the locals "if you were going for pike, where would you go?" After he told us it confirmed upriver would be good if we could make it through all the rapids around the islands. With Dean on the bow saying left,right, rock...we wound our way through. Found a nice little bay and 3 cats later Dean had a 24" pike into the boat. That was it for the bay. Contiued our journey and breached the rapids and then flatout to the bay of choice. It was worth the 13 mile trip!I decided trolling at first would cover the most water to search the fish out. A few mins later we were into pike..many pike.
trolling seem to be the ticket that day. We lost count of the pike after 30 had been boated. Dean had a large pike straighten a small spinner bait and cut the water like butter as it left us behind. casting brought us a few fish as well ,but seemed to bring out the OOS largemouth bass. We boated 7 of them with the biggest being a 5 lber by Dean and 19" long.
Lots and lots of cats each night with the schools we hit topping out at 17" except for Skooters 20" fish which it sounds like the photo didnt come out.
while catfishing we also boated a few rockbass.Dean a 10" and I an 8" . So good mix of fish good company and lots of fun.
We'll have to plan to hit Deans neck of the woods a day this summer.
. I did notice that there was one other person, who must of heard that the weather can turn cold on one of our get together weekends, and brought their Frabill portable ice Shack 
Fisher and Visorboy, had a great time talking to you guys, no problem Fisher about pulling your boat out Sunday, I think I pulled about 9 out and One truck and boat 
Final score 15 for me and 14 for Cracker, even after a 5 fish head start for Cracker. 
sorry for the picture quality, cheap camera.
