Great Summer weather and walleye bite for ORWL Event 5

Post by **eye-tracker** » Thu Jul 15, 2010 6:47 pm

Mississippi Lake - On July 14th 2010 the ORWL held their 5th event of the season on their home lake. The weather was perfect and the fishing was solid all day with a pitching jig bite in the morning and a trolling crawler harnesses in the mid afternoon.

Lots of fish out in the main basin of the Lake.

The large fish for the event was a nice 24 inch walleye taken while trolling a spinner and crawler behind a bottom bouncer. The club had a great turn out of anglers and in the afternoon you could see many of the members trolling the open water out near BaitCasters and Loon Island.

Hayward and Bertrim still lead the way in Boater and Non-Boater with 476 inches, which works out to an amazing 19 inch fish average for 5 events.

Just one of many fish caught during the day on Mississippi Lake.

The next event for the ORWL is Bob's Lake on July 31st. New members are always welcomed and more information about the ORWL can be found on their website at orwl.ca

Sounds like it was a good event. I'm hoping to make it out to one of the events soon, just waiting for my boat motor to be fixed.

Glad this season is going great you guys! I really miss getting out with all of you and of course fishing. Mid July and I still have not been out fishing yet. But I am lovin the new job and have to put in my time until I gain more seniority. 106 hrs per two weeks makes for a nice paycheck but very little time for anything else.
If any of you guys have room for me on any Sunday I would love to get out..
I will definitely have more time after a year of the job and will be able to come out and re-join the gang. You guys are doing great this year and I am envyous!
And Bill, Miss seems to be your lake for big eyes, congrats!

ORWL really is a great club and I miss it.
ORWL rocks!

Hey Cyber,
It was great that I could offer up a seat for the event as I was fishing alone in the afternoon. The guiding on Mississippi has been great with lots of great catches and it has also helped in dialling in the pattern that has been working for the larger fish that are cruising out in the main basin of the lake.

See you all at the next event on Bob's Lake.
