Comment by John Sheehan on April 18, 2024 at 9:23am: The Rattle Traps over the windy flats have called Fish up and done well. 2 mid sized and two magnums have provoked aggressive Male Bass and Pickerel/. Trolling and casting the Flutter spoons also have taken Males and female Pickerel. The white Grub ,Trout pattern Rapala, Little Fox orange spoon and the shad Rap (a favorite Walleye Bait classic) all got Fish too.

Comment by John Sheehan on March 30, 2024 at 7:21am: Jeffrey thanks for the account! The first reel I recall my father showing me how to cast with was a Johnson Spin caster . I think he put a Heddon Sonic on the line for me. The first lure he gave me for a birthday present was a Creme prop spinner tandem rig in natural color. A copy of the Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper was included in the present .
