Another Rough Ride
July 1, 2020
Mike was with me this morning and he brought along Jason, Jasper & Yoonho. We had a big NE wind and I wasn’t sure how the fish would react, but we headed out in hopes of another great day.
The run to our first spot was a little bumpy with 3 footers in some areas and even bigger waves at times. Once we arrived, we were still faced with rough conditions as I set the lines and began our troll.
It wasn’t a quick first bite, but eventually I found some fish and we concentrated here for a while. I managed to get a couple of rotations in with all three kids catching pike, but wasn’t satisfied with the action. I eventually slid out of this spot and into another a short distance away. It was here that the fish started to cooperate and from that moment on, the rods were bent!
Plenty of fish were fought for the remainder of the trip and everyone had numerous turns reeling them in. Hopes of them bringing a few walleye back weren’t accomplished as each & every one, was way over the slot! They would have to settle for a few pike instead and there were high numbers of those caught!
Despite the conditions today with the big NE wind, we still managed to catch loads of quality fish. Doubles & triples were once again the norm and even with a half day of fishing, the total was spectacular. I’m not sure that anyone expected to experience fishing like this, but lately it has become the norm. Big fish, high numbers and lots of action each and every day on the water! Hopefully it will continue and maybe even get better as the season progresses. Only time will tell!
