I am absolutely in love with fishing with lighted planer boards at night!

I've been out here with a few friends from back home fishing Green Bay with Kinn's Sport Fishing out of Little Sturgeon Bay. It's a ton of fun.

We leave the bay at 6:00 p.m. and make our way around to the big lake as the sun is getting low in the sky. There are monster ships out here and it seems like the wind dies down every night. It's almost perfect, maybe even dreamy to be honest. Here's the cool thing: pulling planer boards behind a big boat on big water is phenomenal.

There are six green lighted planer boards on one side and six red lighted planer boards on the other side we troll a couple miles an hour about 100 yards off of shore for what seems many miles and frankly it takes about 2 and 1/2 hours then we make a great big wide swing and and fish another two to two and a half hours back to the marina. We generally call it about 11:00 p.m. depending on the number of fish we have. As we make our way back around the corner of the big lake to the marina one of the guides cleans all of our walleye bags and they are ready to take home when we walk on to the dock.

In May it gets a little chilly at night so we do wear our ice fishing suits but that's just for extra comfort. It's a trip like no other for me. We're always laughing having a good time catching really nice walleye, sometimes small ones but it's the 24 to 27 that make the trip a blast. There's an occasional 28 or 29 in. I have not had the chance to see a 30 yet but maybe tonight!
