Location: Watertown, MN | I thought it was on fire, I am having my best year out there 1 fish 1 trip, it is the Aquarium as deemed many years ago, go see plenty of fish and no eater, the past few years she has been hot, Temps changed this years, pressure continues to grow. Like steve stated my one concern is how much delayed mortality and harvest has occured up there is impacting the fishery. I know we saw atleast 3 toon trollers trolling shallows. I heard they one boat has had 100+ hook ups and only landing a few, wondering how many of the misses are fowl hooked fish, and what is happening to them. Plenty of fish there yet but might to need to explore new areas, diff techniques. Who knows when she catches fire this year, watch out if it does, they might all come unglued. Maybe setting up for a good fall bite? It is fishing not catching.

Location: North St. Paul, MN | I was out with Gregg Thomas on August 7. Fished in the morning for a few hours. Saw several fish and I was fortunate enough to boat a 42.5. Met up later that night, trolled for three hours with nothing and then he stuck a 51 after dark. I had one other follow and he caught a nice pike that night. When I had been reading the reports I was worried, but was very pleased with the results of my first guided trip ever, anywhere.
