The 2006 season has been a great one so far!  The early warm weather this year kick-started the reef bite ahead of schedule, and we caught a lot of big walleyes on the humps in June.  We are in the middle of the midsummer reef bite right now, and we are catching big fish on a daily basis.  The average size has been good lately with a lot of 20"+ walleyes showing up.  The muskies have been on a tear this year.  The action was great on opening weekend, and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down soon.  The lack of weeds this year in many spots has only made it harder for them to hide.  There have been a lot of 46"-47" fish caught and following this year.  There seems to be a strong year class coming up, and in another couple years, they will all be 50 inchers!  The lack of weeds has also made smallmouth bass fishing a snap.  The rocky shorelines are a lot easier to work without  the cabbage getting in the way.  The smallies have given us some exceptional action on those days when we can tear ourselves away from the walleyes.  The crappies have been showing up on the rockpiles every once in a while,  just a little teaser for the fall months.  We're looking forward to some great crappie action this fall, along with the jumbo perch and walleye.
