Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted July 18, 2017 It was early, a bright sunny morning today and nature was active as I sipped my coffee. Squirrels scolding me as I placed new seeds in the feeder. Blue Jays watching from the apple tree and munks waiting patiently for me to leave the peanut pile. Yes, nature was active I thought and I wondered how and if the Walleye would cooperate. Loading up the boat only took a short moment and two eager Walleye hunters were on the way to the Kam. The launch was quiet at 10am and we slipped the Crestliner into the rivers mighty grasp. I loaded the rods with #7 Flicker Shads and gave the wife a tried and proven firetiger and I loaded the black/silver. It wasn't long before I heard "fish on" and what a nice beast it was. I followed shortly with a beauty of my own. Two overs in less than 10 minutes, both released. We continued our leisurely journey up towards the Old Fort, catching and releasing yet another angry beast and many smaller eyes along the way at almost every bend in the river. It was a spectacular day of fishing as we pounded on the Walleye and the best day we have had on the Kam this year. It was incredible. My wife has never experienced that kind of action so it was great to see the smile of a happy Walleye hunter. At 1pm we had our limit and gave the rest of the Walleye in the system some time to relax as we motored back to the launch. Dinner was fantastic. 3 Quote Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW - what a ride!!!
