When are you coming?

Crystal has a decent population of walleye, and has been pretty fair lately.  Most of the sucess I know about has been trolling for them.  I'm assuming around teh hums and islands off the weedy breaks.  I am not in the top 17 million when it comes to walleye fishing though.

Crystal bass have been rather plentiful, but very small.  I caught about 15 Saturday morning, but the heaviest 5 only went 7.1 on our tournament scales.  There were a bunch of fish caught, but the winers only had 8.4.

Tamarack is the same old shallow, stinky, muddy weed-choked cesspool it has alwasy been.  The bass fishing is still pretty good though.  I don't think there has ever been a walleye within miles of Tamarack Lake though.
