Return of The Eyes

Eddie was in town on vacation with his family and decided to fish solo with me for the day. For the first time this week, the winds were not bad when we headed out. I had a good chop on the water for a drift and decided to start with a dropshot. It didn’t take long and both bass and walleye were coming in the boat. Nothing huge but the action was good right from the start! It was a lucky day for the walleye because they were all going to be released today. He was heading back to New Brunswick after the fishing and wouldn’t be taking them home with him.

We spent the day using various techniques in different areas but I think he liked the deep water dropshot one best. It was the first time he experienced current and by vertically fishing the rig, he was able to catch a bunch of bass. We tried shallow as well with soft plastics and managed several more but returned to the dropshot in the end. This was the most productive method today and plenty of walleye were returned to fight another day. So were the bass too but that’s normal every day!
