Was still looking to break an 11 skunk streak dating back to January 11. 11:15 high tide this morning, got on the sand around 10:00. Steep beach, decent amount of holes with milky water. Water wasn't too bad after the rains, maybe the previous storm cleared out most of the built up debris in the rivers.
I missed a couple aggressive strikes early, unnerving to miss them after so many attempts without a fish. The most likely culprit showed itself eventually.

Managed 3, this the biggest.

Pete at Big Hammer sent us some plastics, this grub color "Crabby Lobster" #127 is something he's been doing well with up in SB. I loved the color at first sight and seems like the fish did as well.
Hope to be getting out after work more with daylight savings switching and working slowing a bit. Maybe I can find some consistent bites and offset those 11 straight skunks.
Haven't seen a Wally in a long while, glad you busted the Skunk !
The longer days are nice, Spring is in the air 8)
You were one trip away from getting a little plaque! Haha
Congrats Jeremy! Nice walleyes!
I'm still stuck on home improvement projects. I need to get some saltwater fishing in ... Ugh
The bar for the plaque is lower than it used to be. Took me 50 skunks to get mine. Oh how times have changed.

50 bat ray skunks. I caught other fish, but it was nearly a year straight.
That's why I said "Mini" plaque for a dozen. It would have only been about 4" compared to your 14" plaque. lol
