I reported earlier this week that my daughter Whitney and I fished for walleye on Banks Lake. We experienced what I am hearing from other anglers, and that is the walleye fishing has been good one day and poor the next. That’s not unusual for walleye fishing. I remember many years ago my brother Rick calling me saying that we needed to get up to Banks the next day. Our cousin Greg and he had a terrific day catching walleye and we needed to get in on the action. So, my wife Eileen and I got up early, picked him up and headed for the spot on Banks that had been super productive the day before. Guess what. We caught two smallmouth bass and one perch! Talk about “you should have been there yesterday.” Being the eternal optimist that I am, and many anglers are, I am going back to Banks to give it another try. The great thing about Banks is that if the walleye aren’t biting you can always have blast catching smallmouth bass. Here’s hoping we do better on the walleye than I did earlier this week. I will let you know how we do.
