Som and I went to the Potholes Reservoir and fished it Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday was tough with heavy winds and big waves, but we managed 6 smallies. We were 1 of 2 boats on the lake that day. It was brutal. On Wednesday the weather was nicer, but started out cold and windy. Som managed 2 smallies and 1 nice largie. I managed 2 smallies, a 4.8lb largie and an 8lb walleye that was caught on a jig. It was tough sight fishing with the winds, but did catch 3 of the smallmouths caught were off a protected flat off beds...all males. Best 5 on Wednesday went 18.8lbs.

Nice work! I remember being out in a boat with the winds out there, pretty scary in a 14ft aluminum.

I almost sunk my boat out there last Thursday! Waves were crazy. I ended up on my belly working the trolling motor to get away from the rocks. Scary when it's windy out there.

Yeah...I don't know if we were brave or stupid going out with the winds the way they were. The walleye just felt heavy...not much of a fight.
