The Newlyweds
June 9, 2020
Ryan & Cindy were with me this afternoon for another banner fishing trip. As novices, they didn’t really know what was in store for them, but it was going to be spectacular!
I decided to continue the trolling pattern for a couple of reasons and set the lines quickly once we arrived. Within minutes, the first reel fired and the action was nonstop for over an hour. They even had a few double headers on pike as I continued to cover the water.
Once the action slowed, I shifted baits and moved to another area, once again firing the reels. Many pike were brought to the boat along with several nice walleye. Thoughts of bringing home a couple of each species soon changed when I informed them that the walleye were the preferred fish of choice. The pike that had been livewelled earlier were immediately released and replaced with the golden ones!
The time flew by quickly and before we knew it, we were done. I really couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon weather wise, except for a little more wind. The pesky bugs were in our faces for most of the trip and trolling into the light wind was the only reprieve. Regardless, these newlyweds had the time of their lives and were taking a few of their catch home to dine on tonight. All in all, a great day for fishing!
