Late May fishing

Late

Trip to the river Thursday May 14...no line cast as my ignition switch was faulty.  Had to take flywheel cover off and pull start.  Talked with guy who fishes alot and he said all he uses is cranks.  Levels seemed ideal..very bummed we could not fish though reports were no walleye from passing boats. 

May 15: Phil's childhood lake produced 3 eyes in the 14-16" range.  Off the point on the spot.  13' of water. 

May 23: Seis mille: 6 little walleyes on NW side of lake.  Some reports of bigger fish, but none for us. 

May 23rd evening:  Fish Phil's childhood lake.  Phil was one the point with his dad James.   They did better than us.  We caught one @ 15.5".  They probably got 6 eyes, 3 of which were over 22".  14' of water.  Being on the point seemed critical.

May 25th: Went to Ron and Paula's lake.  Reports of the day before included fast and furious bite on break at 13' right out in front of Ron's place.  We got there at 400 pm the next day, struggled with wife and kids, but Julianne caught her first walleye.  Then we got rained out.

May 27th: My home town lake on North end.  Lilacs in full bloom.  Crappies sitting on beds, some sitting near dropped kinda like they're staging up.  John Watkins and I caught 20 in the 9-11" range.
