Default Pigeon Lake

Sns2 and myself both had hectic days, so we headed out to Pigeon Lake for the evening. Almost nobody at the launch , so no waiting putting the boat in or taking it out. The lake calmed to almost glass, and the new boat worked well, except for the asinine fishfinder constantly going into simulation mode. In 2-1/2 hours we landed 26 walleye in the 2-3lb range, and it was a relaxing way to unwind. Things did get a little tense on the way home though, when I slowed down for two deer and a car coming towards me didn't. He launched one deer about 20 feet in the air, and it passed within 6 feet of me in the air.

Pigeon in the summer is insane fishing. Winter there are days you have to work to catch a fish. Great Lake to take kids to in the summer.

Pigeon on a weekday, is a great place to test a new boat. I ordered a Lund Rebel with a 90Merc last summer, and this was the first trip out. Liking both the boat and outboard after the first trip. The boat is a nice size for 2-3 people, and the engine is quiet, planes quickly and cruises at 32mph at 4400rpm, which is as fast as I took it, as break in is a max of 4500rpm for the first two hours. And it fits nicely in my garage, with the tongue folded . Definitely too small for a family, but ideal for me.

Lunds are awesome boats. You’ll enjoy that one for many years to come. What were the walleyes biting on if I may ask?
