Spent a week there one day.
First couple days temps were in the high 50s with 25+mph wind gusts, every leeward bay was chock full of boats.
Next couple days temps were close to 80 with 5mph winds. About 357 boats on the lake, all crowding the known spots that are supposed to produce fish, there were a few that exchanged words as we motored by... we did not partake in the lunacy.
Rained like hell the following day. Only out for a couple hours, got tired of bailing the boat.
Didn't go out the last couple days, fished from the docks.
All week, only managed a bunch of hand sized Perch. Not a Walleye, Musky/Pike or Bass to be found. Spoke to 20 other boats while on the water and they all said the same thing. I also have re-verified my disdain for fishing out of 14' aluminum camp boats, as my back and feet are still sore from standing/sitting in one last week.
If I never get back to that lake to fish, it will probably be to soon. Best part of the trip was the good friends, lots of cigars, bourbon, popcorn and fudge.
