| Justin with the first fish of the day | 
  With the whitetail rut in full swing it's hard to think about fishing, but after nine days of straight hunting all of us were ready for a short break.  We took the afternoon off and headed over to Pratt Lake to try our luck hooking a few walleye and marking spots for first ice.   Overall, we found one spot on the East Shore in 15 FOW that produced six fish all pike and bass.  I marked the spot and will check it out when we start ice fishing.  Water temp was a cool 46 F and the dock at the launch is pulled ashore for the winter.
