Narrative:  This trip was a great way to get out and start fishing before the Walleye/Pike opener.  We had lots of fun cruising different back roads and wetting a line in some new territory.  I'm not sure if our lack of luck was due to the high water level, the sunny day, lack of working a specific spot, or plain old no fish around.  Either way it was a great day to see some pretty scenery in the beginning of summer.
