Covering Water

Gaetan & Michel were with me today and hoping for a sturgeon or two. I wasn’t sure how it would be, due to the big winds from the west, once again. We travelled a long way to almost set up, before the winds got even bigger. It wasn’t going to happen today!

Plan B was to fish for bass and walleye and I headed to some deeper places to give it a try. The shallow areas are all still too dirty from the rain last week and the daily winds definitely weren’t helping either. At least deeper, we would have a chance!

Several places were fished but only small fish were caught before we moved to a different area on the lake. Although I was marking all kinds of fish, most of them refused our offerings. Both Gaetan and Michel had chances, but not many fish were caught!

It wasn’t until mid afternoon when they started catching better fish and this lasted right until the end. Bass, walleye and even a good-sized pike were landed before we were done. They decided to call the day one hour earlier in hopes of avoiding some of the traffic heading home.

Today wasn’t what I had hoped for but despite all that mother nature threw at us, they still managed to get into a bunch of good fish. In the end, it all worked out. They even got to take a few of their catch home to be eaten tonight!!
