DRIFT LAKE JUNE 25, 2005
Myself and another fishing buddy decided to head out fishing for the evening, we only had a few hours so we had to go somewhere relatively close. We headed out to Drift Lake, Drift seems to be a good day trip lake as the cam
p site seems to fill up with lots of people on the weekend. We left town sometime around 3pm and were on the lake fishing shortly after 4. I had intentions of fishing one particular spot but there were 2 boats already in there when we arrived, so we headed straight across the lake and drifted the shoreline. We fished the shoreline until we noticed that the other boats had left the other spot, and all we were able to catch while drifting the shoreline was one small Pike. We headed across the lake to a point and decided to drift across the shallows to see what we could pick up, there were a couple other boats on the lake and they didn't seem to be catching anything either. We drifted across the point once and then while trolling back up to drift again we caught our first Walleye of the day, nothing big, but at least we knew they were there. So we decided to drift the sa
me area again and we were successful in locating more fish, while we were drifting another boat came out and dropped anchor just up from where we were drifting, so we decided that we should drop anchor. We were anchored in about 14' of water and jigging right off botton with light jigs and twisters tipped with minnows, we were able to hook into quit a few Walleye. We spent the remainder of the evening anchored in the same locations picking up about 30 Walleye, 8 of which were decent enough to bring home for dinner. There were a couple other boats that hung around trolling up and down the shoreline and even anchoring nearby, but they all seemed to have troubles hooking into anything, one 
other angler on the lake informed us that we were "kick'n ass" and asked what we were doing that was so special. I don't have a problem sharing information with others so I told him exactly what we were using and how we were catching them, unfortunately this did not help him:) It seemed that we were the only boat that was successful on this day (according to the anglers that I talked to).
