Today I launched out of Hastings on pool 3 for some walleye fishing.  garret and his two sons Tate and Jace  joined me for today's trip.   

After fishing the Mississippi River for a couple hours we decided to head up into the Croix to find cleaner water with all the rains we have had of late.  Glad we made that decision because the walleyes and small mouth bass were on a tear today in my vessel.  These two boys and their dad seemed to be putting in bait every time I turned around.  So much we ran out of bait.   

Garret had the biggest smallmouth today and Jace had the biggest walleye not to leave Tate out who ended up with the biggest sheepshead.   Seemed all three of these gentlemen really enjoyed the time on the water and I am glad they picked me to go out with to catch their first ever walleyes.   Today the boys learned what patients can reward you with when fishing.   Great time on the watt gentlemen.    See you boys next time. 

Goid luck out there guys and gals!!!!!
