After a dismal performance on Moses Lake on my part, I wanted to get Dennis Beich back out on the water, and this time to Banks Lake, which was his original idea. We headed up there Tuesday and I chose to start our day on the sand flats just down lake of Steamboat Rock. It turned out to be a good choice. We were into walleye immediately. We were getting them mostly in 18 to 24 feet of water, on the Sparkly Green or Blue and Silver Smile Blades on Slow Death hooks. This was great fun, but the fish were all small. When we had one limit of keepers we pulled our gear and headed to the Million Dollar Mile area. We started just below Rose Bush and were marking good numbers of walleye. The bite wasn’t as hot as it was at Steamboat, but we were landing more “hammer handles” and got one that was 20 inches. My bow mount, which had been working hard all morning, started to run out of juice, so I said, Heck, let’s put out some crankbaits. We got two of nicer fish of the day pulling Flicker Shads. My first trip Banks was a good one!
