Terry Robinson - Freespirit 2 Charters

What a great 2 days of fishing with the Conklin Family from Wisconsin. Needed another boat so I call Dean Northcutt to run with me. Thanks Dean.
The fist day we left the dock and went toward the cove. Dean put a smack down on them by finishing up early. My group rounded the corner 45 minutes later with there limit. 66 Walleye to take home.
Today we started of with a little rain for 2 hrs. We headed back to where we finished day1. The water got stained and the fishing was tough. The winds started to pick up 9:30 3-4 footers. My group called it at 10:30 with winds gusting to 23 mph out of the SW.
It was a great day to fish with as always. Hope to see them next year. Great job!
