Another Slow Morning

After relaxing over the weekend, I was back on the water this morning. Mark was in once again, all the way from Scotland. He joined me with his two sons, Noah & Adam, hoping for a good day.
I searched for about 15 minutes for the juvenile sturgeon I had located last week, but soon gave up. The water temps had fallen again and they were gone.
Plan B was to head to an area and troll for pike & walleye. We set the lines, began covering water and eventually hit the first fish. Soon after we hit others and both species were coming aboard. There were even a couple of keeper walleye that made their way into the livewell.
We ended the morning in a different area and they landed a few more fish in the remaining time including the largest walleye of the day! Noah brought the last fish into the boat and we were done!
Although not what I had planned, having a backup is always a good idea. I had intended on fishing sturgeon but settled on the pike & walleye. In the end, they were able to bring 4 walleye back with them for a good dinner tonight. Tough bite but great results!
