A Group Effort

Maren & Victoria were back again today and brought Lana & Emmanuel with them as well. After last week’s outing, it left them wanting more! Hopefully I would be able to get everyone into fish in the short half day trip this morning.

We made a long run to an area where I wanted to have them drop shot due to the big waves from the W/NW. With lines in and a brief orientation, it didn’t take long before Victoria was into a fish. She managed to get what turned out to be the best walleye of the day! The others missed fish as well and after several drifts over the same shoal, everyone was on the board. Mostly bass were landed but several other small walleye also came in as well.

After milking the area for every bite, I jumped to a few other shoals in hopes of another flurry. Although they each held fish, there were only a couple from every spot! Time for another move before we had to head back!

With under an hour remaining before we needed to return, I anchored up on a spot that I knew definitely held fish. It wasn’t going to be easy as they all had to cast. To make matters worse, we were in current and they had to go in rotation so as not to tangle with each other!

Lana was at the back and she managed to land a couple of good fish before anyone else did. One was a walleye that made the cut and the other a real nice northern. By the time we were done, everyone managed to get into fish here but it was Victoria that had the hot hand with two good smallies and a walleye. She also missed a few other fish that were on the line, but just briefly!

As usual, the morning passed by quickly but good numbers of fish were landed today! They all had multiple shots and brought a percentage of their bites to net. Some of them even went in the box for their dinner tonight! All in all it was a pretty good outing filled with plenty of laughs. Oh yeah, fish too!
