Three More Generations

Another morning trip with 3 generations in the boat proved to be a success! Harold, Gerald & Eli were looking forward to this and I didn’t disappoint them. Right from the start, fish were being caught and it didn’t stop until it was time to leave.

Harold got he ball rolling with a few walleye and bass but Eli caught on fast and had his fair share as well. Gerald was having a bit of a difficult time losing fish but this soon changed with lots of practice. The fish seemed to be active and these guys were on fire. We had a great wind and the drifts were perfect, allowing them to feel the bites over the flat. We made long drifts and took advantage of the early bites until it slowed down. Gerald had this thing about fish not biting after 10:00, but I proved him wrong!

We tried a couple of other areas, after it had slowed and they managed to get a few more fish from each. The winds had died off a lot now, and movement was at a minimum. I eventually went back to where we had started to finish off the morning. Here they managed to land several more fish and Eli caught his biggest bass too! We fished right up until 11:30 and then headed back to the docks to take out.

This morning was another great one with lots of action and fish caught. Although they missed plenty, they landed even more. They probably could have taken a couple of limits of walleye back but chose to release everything. The 3 generations of fishermen today were all about catch & release and having fun. They had that in spades!

The fishing has been great lately and I only hope it stays like this. I will be on the water pretty much every day this week and only hope it’s as good as it’s been. More great days ahead!!
