When I arrived at the Jetty the launch captain I met the other night was fishing at Pete's spot. He hadn't gotten any bites. I set up on the North Corner. I think I missed one bite on the Grass Pig. He left after 20 minutes so I moved my stuff to the Harbor Mouth. I got my first bite around 6PM on the Crackle Jerk Shad. It was 19.5" eye at the North Corner. I added it's twin about 5 minutes later. Then I went at least half an hour between fish catches. I did miss a couple of bites. I switched to the small Rage Swimmer and had a 19.5-inch eye take it immediately on the first cast. Then that was it, so I switched back to the Crackle and got 4 quality sized eyes (25, 3x24.5). I also caught the T-shirt at the Harbor Mouth. I was debating most of the time after I hooked it as to whether or not it was a walleye convincing myself a few times that it was. The joke was on me. That was the only bite I got a the Harbor Mouth, but I didn't fish there very hard either. Then the action tailed off so I switched back to the small Rage Swimmer and had a 24/25-inch fish get off just as I was bringing it up to the rocks. I ended the night fishing the Tomato Jerk Shad catching that little cigar and three 20-inch fish. When I first started fishing the Tomato a boat full of muskie fishermen came into the harbor. One of the guys started casting a big muskie plug off of the North Face and brought in a walleye on his first cast. I think he said it was about 24-inches long. My guides started freezing up so I left. The guys didn't get any muskies. This may be my last open water trip of the year. However, if it's above freezing tomorrow at dark then I will probably get out one more time.
