Fishing was a bit slow last week with the the 20 degree drop in temperature and constant rain.  Still managed to eke out 6 keeper walleye, a couple of smallmouth bass and 2 northern pike.  The weather finally improved on Friday, July 3 and Saturday the 4th was beautiful.  Got out for 3 hrs on Saturday morning and landed some fish including a respectable 19 inch walleye and a very nice 22 inch walleye, see pictures. 

I snuck out myself for 2 hours on Sunday evening and even after the crazy boat traffic over the holiday weekend, the stabilizing weather had the fish feeding once again.  Landed 5 walleye, 2 smallmouth bass and a northern pike.  Nothing big, but a couple of keepers and alot of action tossing crankbaits. 

We have another cold front upon us yesterday and today, but it looks to be out of the area by tomorrow and the balence of the week should be warm and stable once again which should have the fish eating.
