Uninterested Fish

August 20th 2018

Steve & Sam were back with me again today, looking for that elusive lunge. Although we tried for close to 3 hours, we never really had any takers. I guess it just wasn’t there time to land old toothy!

We switched to walleye next as they were hoping to bring a few fish back with them tonight. Despite a rather slow bite, they did manage to land some and took almost a limit in the end.

After a painful morning fishing for only a few fish, I switched to bass and the action picked up considerably. Both Steve and his son Sam hooked and landed some nice fish in the remaining time we were on the water. Too bad all of the bass didn’t want to bite as we saw so many uninterested ones where we were. It was nice to know that they were in the area but would have been nicer if they were on the end of their lines!

Time flew by quickly today and before we knew it, it was almost 4:00. They had a long drive back home and were already tired, so we pulled the plug and headed back to take out.

These last couple of days were probably the toughest so far this season. I was targeting big fish and they just didn’t seem to cooperate. I’m glad I had a backup with the bass for them to at least catch fish! Hopefully in the coming days things will get back to normal and some of these fish will actually bite. I know it’s just a matter of time before I’m back into the big sturgeon once again. With any luck, it will be real soon!!
