Summertime Heat


Happy July!  I just got off the water and it’s a scorcher!  Our thermometer here in Lake Shore, MN reads 85 degrees in the shade.  This is definitely going to get that water temperature up in a hurry.  Thankfully the wind decided to blow a little this afternoon otherwise it would be dangerously hot!  I guess all a person has to do is look at the winter we had in the upper Midwest this past season and it makes a person take the heat a little easier.  


The fishing has been pretty good, but I have had a couple of back to back slower days on the water (one on Mille Lacs and this a.m. we only caught 3 walleyes on Gull).  But, I did drop in on some walleyes after my trip and caught 2 nice ones on a Lindy Rig and a juicy minnow!  


Last week we were over preparing for an upcoming crossbow show in WI.  We hooked up with Todd Hess down in Buffalo Co. WI and did a little planting, tree stand hanging and set out a couple of game cameras.  We will be heading down there for the opener on his in-laws property in search of a whitetail or two with the Excalibur crossbow!  For now, it’s time to get the new Bear compound bow and get it rigged ready and sighted so when I see that giant antelope in WY next month, it will hit the mark.  


As for now, it’s time to do a little more fishing and hopefully some more catching!!  I hope you all are enjoying this summer!
