Thanks... Flag..up I hope we're talking about the same bay? I went to mapquest and found that the lake I'm talking about is called McKenzie Bay. It's quite small, only about 1300' long x 700' wide. Way back then I'm not sure if it even had walleye.( I'm talking June 1976 !!) All I remember is the water was very clear, you could see down 10'-15' or so. So what we did is paddle around in our canoe looking down in the water to find small schools of perch close to the shore. Then when we caught some, we would rig them up for bait with big bobbers and then let them out to catch the pike. It was a blast because the pike would pull us all over the place as we tried to land them. Probably caught 8-10 nice 1's that afternoon. Great memory. Anyways that's cool your doing good. It's great to know the fishing is still good up there, and especially if your getting some nice walleye.( And sounds like the pike are awesome) Looks like I just might have to try and make a trip up there sometime in the winter and stretch a line or 2. I'll try and look you up if your still around. Again thanks for the reply!!! RDO
