Jeff Mundey Fishing Report from Bear - September
Here are a few additional pics from our Sep 9-16, 2006 trip. The 3 walleyes in the dock shot and held by Wayne and I measured 27, 26 and 26 inches and weighed 6 lbs 7 oz, 6 lbs 4 oz and 5 lbs 10 oz. All together we caught 15 walleyes for the week - our best ever. The smallmouth were both 20 inches and weighed 4 lbs 1 oz. The cow moose was located on the trail up and out of Lower Cranberry (aka Cranberry Bog) just before you come to the top of the ridge. We were on our way to Billy.
