Consistent Fishing
August 12, 2021
Gilles & his father Neil had another banner day with me today catching several different species of fish. Although we began in torrential rain, it eventually cleared and they were able to fish comfortably.
The trolling bite was slow at first but we managed to get on the fish eventually. They boated plenty of northerns and one walleye from the first spot including a couple of double headers.
Our second area produced plenty of fish but the bite was also slow at first. I kept at the troll and eventually found a small section that produced the bulk of the fish, including a couple of big eyes. They even managed to put a couple more high end keepers in the box for dinner tonight!
By midday the sun was shining and the heat was upon us too. It was going to be another scorcher! Fortunately we had a strong wind from the W/SW hat helped keep us cool, sort of! I hit several places for smallies and they managed to catch fish from every one. Although not giant like the previous day, they were definitely quality fish and fought like champs!
Time passed quickly today and before we knew it, the day was done. They had both managed to get another grand slam as well and even had a few fish to go home with in the end. I know they had a great time and I expect to see them back next year for round two. Who knows, maybe even sooner!
