69℉, Partly Cloudy, 4mph S
Started on the NE side and got a small toothy on the Jerk Shad and lost something on the SBKO. I made a quick move for the SW side and I almost waited too long as a guy was getting out of his car just after I crossed the road. A jumper started hitting stuff on top so I quickly fired out the Shower Blows and caught it. I got a couple of toothy's. The guy went to the North side and a couple of other guys showed up. I got the big one on the Dinger. As I left one of the later arriving guys told me he thought 6am would be early enough to be the first ones there. That gave me a chuckle. Probably not gonna happen in June. I lost something at the culvert. Caught 1 pike at the INlet and had a couple of other strikes.

8:40-10:00PM Eddy's Jetty North Corner
80-74℉, Partly Cloudy, 4mph SSE
The plan was to meet Pete around 9ish at Eddy's Jetty. I had to drop off some garbage at the lake place and took a swing by the GOMH. Nobody was there so I fished it. Had one toothy swirl at me on the NE side. Nothing on the SW side so off to Mille Lacs I went. The South Jetty had a family fishing there. Nobody on Center or North other than some partyers at the North Harbor Mouth area. Of course, I took the North Corner. Started out throwing Ploppers, then a spinnerbait. No sign of a smallie. I put the two rods back in the car a grabbed the Loomis spinning rod with a small swimbait and the Lew's rod with a Grass Pig. I started out using the Loomis and something that felt small bite, but it was definitely a fish. After about 10 minutes and nothing else. I switched the Grass Pig to 6'8" Avid and put a crackle Jerk Shad on the Lew's and started throwing the Grass Pig. I was quickly rewarded with the 17-inch walleye. I think Pete arrived a little bit before I caught the fish, but he had to rig up and whatever. I lost what felt like a good eye and my Grass Pig wasn't in the greatest shape, so I went to grab another out of my jacket except there weren't any in there. So I grabbed the Lew's and started fishing the Jerk Shad. On about my 10th cast, I was surprised to bring in a smallmouth. After I released it. Pete made contact with me. A guy who was fishing with his young daughter hooked into a pig; I didn't get a great look at it, but it was 25+. Pete came up to the North Corner and banged two walleyes straightaway. I got a 20-incher that bit as I was reeling up to keep the Jerk Shad out of the rocks. Pete then caught the little smallie and just like that it was 10PM. It was a pleasant night with a breeze to keep the bugs off and a thunderstorm off in the far NW. On the way home saw lots of deer and a bear on Shakopee Lake Rd.
