Family Fishing Day
August 11, 2023
Stacey and her two sons, Ayden & Louis were with me for an afternoon trip. We would be targeting bass but a possibility of other fish was also on the board! Hopefully the weather would hold out for them as thunder showers were a big possibility!
As we headed to our first location, the lake was flattening out even more than when we began. The closer we got to our spot, the calmer it got! When we arrived, it was an absolute mirror and just what I had hoped for. This would make it easier for what we were about to do.
I set up the rods with soft plastics and instructed them on what to do. They were in a great bass area and it didn’t take long before they were into fish. Although not huge, they were plentiful and everyone managed to land some. Ayden had the biggest and it was definitely worth a few pics! When things slowed, I switched up and got them into several good sturgeon as well. Too bad it was short lived as Mother Nature decided to rain on our parade, literally. The winds picked up and the clouds got darker. It was time to go!
I had made a decision to get closer to the ramp in case it got ugly and was glad I did. Thoughts of fishing were soon cancelled as thunder & lightning appeared! We were done! I only hoped that I would be able to get the boat on the trailer, before the heavy rain began.
Today was cut short by the weather but not before many good fish were landed by all. I was also lucky with the takeout as the rain only started when I was all packed up. More like a monsoon though! The drive home was out of this world! At least we had over 3 hours of great fishing before we had to call it because of the weather. The pre frontal bite was absolutely terrific! It was a great few hours of fishing this afternoon, for everyone!!
