Fished with friend Pat. Scouted new areas. We weren't going to do much fishing, mostly scouting. First spot we saw that looked good we threw a buoy out and caught some monster smallmouths and an 18-inch walleye on a bend in the river channel in 11-13 feet of water. Found some cabbageweed that looked good but didn't have fish in yet. Caught some more walleyes relating to wood in 6-7 feet of water. Wound up with some pretty decent walleyes without doing too much fishing and all spots I hadn't fished before.
