Great First Outing
June 3, 2020
I was finally able to get on the water today with Jean Michel, his son Alex and Steph. This was the first outing of the season and I had high expectations! Although the conditions weren’t great, with the water temps sitting at 57 degrees, we were still able to pick at the fish all day long.
The morning bite was a little slower than I had hoped for but both pike and walleye were boated in the cold, overcast weather. It wasn’t until the sun showed late in the morning that the fishing really picked up. It was at this time that numerous fish were landed, bringing the numbers up significantly! When the clouds rolled back in again however, we were forced to relocate, due to the action slowing down.
The remaining couple of hours saw more pike caught as well as a couple of bonus fish. Alex not only landed his first musky, but he followed it up with another slightly smaller one, right before we were done. We ended the day with one final fish as usual and called it just before 4 o’clock.
This was quite a productive outing for the group and one I’m sure they will all be remembering for quite a while! It definitely started my season with a bang!
