Insane Action

Michael was in from California and wanted to try a little freshwater fishing before heading back home. He scheduled a morning trip for today in hopes of catching some fish, other than the saltwater ones he was accustomed to. I was going to make sure that it happened!

We began in an area that looked good when we stopped, but after three passes and only one small bass, we immediately changed locations. The second place showed plenty of walleye but we were only able to get 3 keeper sized ones and one over. They were all returned to fight another day! After fishing a third spot without any luck, I decided to make a move to a distant location in hopes of salvaging the morning.

The time had passed by quickly and this was going to be the last place we would fish. Fortunately, it was holding bass and almost on his first cast, it began. I decided to stay an hour longer than we were supposed to and finished fishing by noon. In just a short amount of time, he had landed an insane amount, of bass. It seemed like almost every cast for a while! This was a perfect ending to his morning trip!

Michael left with a definite sense of satisfaction and a love of smallmouth bass fishing. He had battled many of these feisty fish and enjoyed every single one of them. I only wish we could have had more time, because we left them biting! Another great half day ending with a flurry of action!
