Took my brother in law out of Au Gres saturday morning. Started out with all of the lures that were productive last time I was out. Sat down in 30 fow straight out from point Au Gres. Not much happening for the first 2 hours, then we caught 4 fish in 5 minutes. One on fishlanders gobie spoon tipped with a crawler, two off blue and silver daves kaboom, the other came of an inline planer with the parrot hot n tot. Trolled a little further south with no more action, turned back around and head right back for the waypoint I just marked when we hit those 4. Doing so allowed us to pick up the rest of our 2 man limit with little effort. The daves kaboom took more, and then to my surprise the riggers with spoons kept us busy, monkey puke, and gobie spoons. At first I set the riggers for the lightest release I could, then I changed that to a rubber band off the release, thinking that the rubber band would stretch and it would be easy to see a fish there. To the contrary, you had to pay real close attention, the rubber bands were maybe to stout for the walleye. It took a good eye, and if we thought something was there we released it and for the most part when we checked they were there. Ended up with ten 3@15", biggest going 22", after those 3@15" the next smallest was 19". So it was a great trip out of Au Gres.
Good Luck

Another great day out of Au Gres! Got an early start this morning with the same setup mentioned above. Trolled SW into them for a long time this morning, finally arrived at my most southerly waypoint and it was go time. I should mention that by the time we got there I had time to put on a lot of different lures. Once again, SPOONS..SPOONS...AND MORE SPOONS. So we finally turned around going with the waves, and our speed was to much. I cut the motor and drifted, it worked well. Fishlanders copper confusion harness took two real healthy perch! It was 80' back w/a 1-1/2oz BB. Big Jon mini disc set back 86' with a stinger walleye spoon looks like confusion. Monkey Puke walleye spoon, and the kona gold drifted on riggers 50' back & 5-7' off the bottom. Always fun...10 walleye...2 perch...& one ugly sheepshead
Good luck...

By far my best day yet out Au Gres. Not the #'s game, but the catch rate for me was my best. Same program as before, 1-1/2 oz BB on the outside poles one copper confusion, one silver, mokey puke and kona gold spoons set off the riggers straight back tight to the bottom 5'. We started fishing about 5:00 p.m., I couldn't even get the 2nd rig out before one of the confusions went. Worked a little bit and got a few rods out, but couldn't get all four for a bit. We took nine in like 1-1/2 or so hours. Mrs. Co-Pilot was starting to look a little green, and I wanted her to remember a good time not being sick, so we packed up and went in. 2 drifts over the same spot we hooked into way more then 9, brought in a 12" perch for the fryin pan, not to mention those sheepsheads, and I believe I lost my biggest walleye near the boat.
Good Luck...
