The Final Outing

This was the final day that Chris was to be with me and I wanted to get hm into some bigger fish. Yesterday saw a good number of bass & walleye, but nothing really worthy of a pic. Hopefully today would be a different story!

Lighter winds had us drifting slower than usual, over a rocky flat and several fish were landed and lost from here. It was slower than usual, so I didn’t waste too much time on this spot, before moving to another one further away. I wanted to see if I could find some larger walleye & bass and the run and gun approach was my best bet.

The fish were acting a bit lethargic this morning and although we saw plenty on the electronics, we were only able to get a couple of the bigger ones I wanted. Chris did manage to land two really good eyes that were finally worthy of pics! Several smaller walleye were also caught but the bass eluded us from this area.

The rest of the day was spent jumping around in search of better fish and despite fishing shallow, the bass were all on the smaller side. I even tried much deeper and introduced Chris to some of the big fish areas. I instructed him on how to vertically dropshot and unfortunately, I was the only one to get the bigger bass from here.

Chris had wanted to finish earlier today and after a few more spots with limited success, we called it a day. He had seen good fishing on each of the three days spent here and was ready to pack it in. It had been nice, just having one person in the boat and there was definitely plenty of room to spare. Chris had great weather as well, after experiencing high winds and plenty of rain before he arrived. I’ll be busy again this week without any breaks and hopefully fishing another species as well. I’m going to give the sturgeon a shot and with any luck, I’ll be getting into them real soon too!
