[QUOTE="SLE, post: 433515, member: 3889"] TBH, it was the best year I've had on the east end for walleye in the last 3 or 4 years. I didn't get out for the pre-spawn bite, and June into early July was concernedly slow and spotty for us but starting mid July, we were on the fish right through the end of September. The better bite always seemed to go the live bait route this year, wasn't ever able to get a good jig rap bite that I could get to stick for any length of time. The quality could have been better but the numbers were there and you could fish through the small ones and get a really nice batch of 16"-20" inchers if you had the patience. Fall pike hunting wasn't as good as previous years but then again, we didn't chase them as many times since we were on a good walleye bite. We still caught some really nice ones and had a couple good days casting the bays and shorelines. New boat worked awesome and North Country Marine in Garrison delivered as they always have. If there was a damper on the year, we did blow up the 95' 60 hp Merc tiller on the kids lund preditor, but we found a good used 75 at a decent price and had that up and running within 2-weeks of the 60 going down so could've been worse. all in all, it was a good year!
