Winneconne Fishing?

Our friend Jeff called us to let us know the walleyes were really hot in Winneconne. Since we didn't catch any fish last weekend and the boat was already loaded and ready to go, we hit the road and met him up there. Based on the number of boats in the water, and people fishing off of the bridge, we were sure to catch some - right? Well...



We started fishing at 5pm and with no bites by 8pm we docked at the Fin 'n' Feather for dinner. After dinner, we headed back out, hopeful that we would catch something other than a sheephead or white bass. At midnight, we were exhausted so we dropped Jeff of at the launch and tied the boat up for the night. (Thank you Dan, again for putting the generator on board! We were warm and cozy for sure!)

The only boat on the water with HEAT!

Jeff texted us at 4am to let us know that he fished off the bridge, and he and his brother caught their limit of walleyes between 1am and 3am. We were very happy for him, but we were happy we didn't waste our warm snuggling time standing on a bridge in the middle of the night. We gave it a shot again after breakfast, and ultimately ended up taking a boat ride back up to Chico's Landing. Again, we're not that serious about our fishing, but we're serious about our fun!



Someone forgot to move their house.

Here we are back at Chico's Landing again!

Wet happy dog.

Special thanks to Jeff for the inspiration and to Gary and the usual suspects at Chico's Landing for welcoming us to the docks once again.

p.s. No walleyes in the box yet!
