Default Eyes and Smallies after dark

Got out in The Mugger last night for some nocturnal muggery. Was on the water around 730 and started scanning a few different areas on the lake for good marks. Found deeper suspended bait and shortly after began hooking up. Between 8-10 was hot, with a handful of nice chunky Walleyes and some acrobat Smallies on various color swimshads. We made a move to anchor along a shallower weed line and with herring on egg sinkers. Scott managed 1 Smallie that wacked the herring on the drop. Tons of herring in the area and not much action, so back to the original deeper structure and a couple more fish in the boat. Wind picked up so we packed it in around 145am. After pulling out of the marina, I was promptly pulled over by a town officer backed in with the lights off. Just doing a late night DWI check and let me go on my way lol!

Great fish !! The night time wind can be an eerie thing, had it out on RV last time. Went from dead calm to a stiff breeze as the air cooled, really freaky.

I mentioned the whole "not freezing our asses off" thing to Scott. Was definitely weird. Also not used to fishing there with so much boat traffic, it's usually a ghost town on Christmas Eve morning haha.

Friday night was gooooood!!!! I had to get back out there and do it again.....I hit up Skunk Sunday and he had plans so I started going through that list of "When are you taking me fishing?" people. 4 or 5 texts later, I had my co-pilot. 6:30 launch, had to wait for the boat traffic to die down, around 7:30 our rods were bending. My boy D-Rose got his fist ever walleye, a fat 22". The smallies where cooperating better than the wallys. We called it quits around 11. 3 eyes to 22" and about a half dozen cookie cutter smallies.
