Last week reports on all our small bush lakes were great.  Usually this time of year the small lakes get a little tougher to fish because of the heat and high water temps, but this year is very different as you already know if you been reading this blog.  The Small Mouth Bass fishing is so good right now Betty and I are actually going ourselves today, which I know is a shocker for many of you to hear.  Walleye fishing was good last week as well.  Good numbers and size were caught last week.  The bigger water in the area still remains spotty for walleyes, improving a touch, but spotty.  We will be fishing a few times this week, I'll be bear baiting for the next month, So we're going to get a little fun in over the next few days.   Musky fishing for me, has been slow, no follows in two evenings out, but tonight may be different, I'll let you know.   I did hear that guys were doing pretty good over the last two weeks but not great is the report I got.  One tip for muskys is always check and sharpen your hooks.  I was blazin' big buck tails thru weeds with rocks around and I couldn't believe how dull some hooks got, so fast.  The hooks were lazer sharp before I left, and I happen to check them out today and couldn't believe how beat up they were.  You are out there for hours casting with no luck and finnally you get some action, I sure would want a sharp hook.  Pretty simple thing remember but do we always do it?  Weather is still cool but nice, we're lookiing forward to a few days out fishing this week.  Take care and thanks for ready.

Please do me a favor and keep a friend of mine (Bob Corcoran) in your thoughts, as he is going through his second neck/back surgery, thank you.
