Only Big Ones

It had been quite some time since Yanick had fished with me but he was back on the boat today. His wife Cindy joined hm as well and we headed out onto the water. It was going to be an interesting one, as the winds were blowing big from the NE and expected to swing to the NW by mid-day.

After a rough ride to our starting location, I began the troll. First fish was a big walleye that only made for a few great pics. Cindy was up next and she managed to land a good-sized pike, putting both of them on the board!

We trolled for the morning and managed to put plenty of fish in the boat. A mixed combination of pike & big walleye ate the lures we offered and Yanick even managed his personal best eye! He always catches big fish when he’s out and this was no different. In fact, he still holds the largest sturgeon from years back when we first fished!

The afternoon was spent looking for places to fish bass, now that the season was open. It wasn’t easy with the winds, but we did find some areas that produced smaller ones. I would have liked to fish a few better spots, but they were rolling and the water color was like mud!

Today was a good day despite the big winds and plenty of quality fish were landed. They were even able to bring a few fish home with them for a good meal. It was nice getting back out with Yanick and hopefully we’ll get together again this summer for more action, with his family. Now that his two sons are of age, it would be my pleasure to initiate them into the sport of fishing. Hopefully they’ll be as lucky as their dad is and catch big fish too! Only time will tell!!
