Our friends from AFG started arriving about 11:00 AM on Tuesday morning. The last arrivals were in by 2:00 PM. We left port with the Chairman and two Lady of the Lakes by 2:20 PM. We had seventeen guests on the three houseboats with two guests meeting us at our mooring spot.
We returned to the Chairman and prepared a shore lunch for 28 people. We left the houseboats at 1:30 PM. Guess what the weatherman was wrong. The sun came out and a beautiful afternoon set in. The winds died and with that so did the shallow water bite. A quick run to the current areas got us right back on track! Chef Jim served his awesome slow-cooked prime rib for dinner on Wednesday night.
Thursday the weatherman predicted 10-15 mph winds and clear skies. The morning started out with about an 8 mph wind. Walleyes bit well on shallow-water reefs and on the rock points in about 8 feet of water. The weatherman missed his wind prediction; it died by 9:15 AM. I left and went to a wing dam in the current and we had a walleye every cast with a jig and minnow for over one hour. We had another large shore lunch and were back by 1:30 PM.
