The moon had disappeared behind the clouds by the time I arrived at the Jetty. Didn't get anything for the first 40 minutes or so. Had a fish bump the Rage Swimmer at the Center Standing Rock. I went and got the Crackle Jerk Shad and pretty soon it was fish on. About 10 minutes later I got another one on the Jerk Shad. Had a couple other fish bump the Jerk Shad and not hook up. It started sprinkling and nothing was going on so I left.

7:10-10:00PM North Corner and Harbor Mouth
43℉, Cloudy some light rain/mist, 3-7mph SSE
There was a pretty good ripple on the water and a couple of times I thought some wave action might start forming out of the SE, but it never happened. I started off fishing the Jerk Shad working my way from the Harbor Mouth north. I was just about to give up on the Crackle Jerk Shad when the first eye of the night hit it on the North Corner. As I was bringing it up on the rocks the hooks came loose shooting the Jerk Shad into the tree. I went and grabbed the fish before it could find it's way back to the water. I left the rod there while I measured, weighed, and took a picture of the fish. I was able to get the tip of the tree branch to break off. A few minutes later I caught a scale. I quickly cast back to the same area and a walleye (22") snatched the Jerk Shad. That was it for action on the Crackle Jerk Shad. I basically went an hour plus without a bite. I rigged up a KVD Jerk that never got used, a Tomato Jerk Shad thinking maybe the red color might help the fish to see the bait, and I put the stinger hook on the Rage Swimmer. I was casting at the Habor Mouth when I'm 90% sure I had a fish hit it. After a couple casts with nothing I went and grabbed the Tomato. About 5 casts later it was fish on, a 20-incher. I went and put my Vikings sweatshirt in the car as it was sprinkling again. I had taken it off because I was too warm and set it on one of the posts about 40 minutes earlier. About 5 minutes after I started casting again at the Harbor Mouth I had a pretty good 23/24-inch walleye hit the Tomato. I was pulling it over the rocks and it came off and back into the lake it went, bummer that I didn't get the weight for that one. I then worked my way north casting the Tomato. I did have something bump me and not hook up on the North Standing Rock. So went and got the Rage Swimmer to see if I might get a hit on that. I caught the rock instead. I ended up going back to the Harbor Mouth and on my second cast, the 21.5-incher left no doubt about it choking the Rage Swimmer. For the last ten minutes, I fished the Tomato. At 9:59PM it was fish on. I got it within 10 feet and it came off, bummer. And that was my night.
