My good friend and often times fishing buddy of mine, Dennis Beich, wanted to fish for walleye at Banks Lake on Thursday, but I talked him into going to Moses Lake. Unfortunately, I got some bad intel about where to fish. We ran up to the north end expecting to run side planers on bottom bouncers in the shallows up there. However, we found the surface cluttered with weeds and reeds and fishing was really not possible. We worked our way out of there and did get some action in front of the trees on the south shore.
We were burning through the crawlers but not hooking anything. We made a pass on the flat above Connelly Park and got our baits picked off but weren’t really marking many fish. Finally, we ran across from the park and down to the point and I managed to hook a nice walleye. Then the wind picked up. It was blowing hard enough that we couldn’t troll into it. There were some very nasty clouds moving in, so we headed for the launch. It was a very near thing, but we didn’t skunked. Next time I will let Dennis pick the destination.
