I finally made it to Banks Lake. Brian Neilson and Mike Wren met me at the Northrop Boat launch and away we went. We were concerned about the lake level, it was very low for this time of year, and the possibility of high wind later in the day. Keeping our fingers crossed we ran up to Jones Bay for a quick visit for the video I was doing. Jones is a small, narrow bay that can be very productive. There is a distinct weed line here, and in the spring can even be a good place to troll with side planers. Then we stopped at Devils Punch Bowl, and I mentioned the excellent launch at the State Park on Steamboat Rock. We didn’t fish these areas, but they need to be included as good places to fish for walleye on Banks. I will remind folks that I did a video earlier this spring on walleye fishing with side planers, and that was shot in Devil’s Punch Bowl. We did put our gear out on the back side of Steamboat Rock. I will tell you all about our fishing here and the other places with visited in my report for Friday.
