Greg: Banks Lake - 4/20/2024

My 15 year old son and I towed the boat to Banks Lake to meet his buddy and his family camping at Steamboat Rock. The weather forecast wasn’t great for a weekend of fishing, but we were hoping to get a few hours Saturday afternoon and evening with light winds. After a couple hours at camp enjoying snacks and games, we launched the boat around 3 pm and fished until 6 pm. We ended up putting 3 walleyes in the boat (18, 18.5 and 21 inches) and a perch that was big enough to keep. The wind was out of the east when we began and was increasing out of the south when we got off the water. The air temperature was around 60 and the water temperature 48.

Fresh walleyes and smores. That’s a pretty good day!
