Welcome Back

Jim & Marie were back with me again this year and we targeting their favorite species, bass. We would be fishing as many areas as we could and hopefully find the mother-load!

The first spot only produced a few smaller bass on a dropshot, but they were on the board. The second and third spot came up shy of anything and I was on the move, quickly. The third spot however, was where Jim managed to put several decent bass in the boat and Marie landed her best of the day.

Things were a little slow so far, but our next stop lasted a few hours, as it was loaded. Both Jim & Marie caught plenty of fish of all sizes from here. Jim managed to land the biggest bass of the day, along with a good-sized sturgeon. It had eaten a dropshot by fishing slowly and was definitely hooked in the mouth. First time ever!

After having spent several hours in this one area, I finally moved when it became slow. I made a long move to see what the skies had in store for us and ran through some showers getting there. It wasn’t much but enough to don the rain gear!

This was our last stop of the day and Marie made it all worthwhile by landing a couple of decent walleye. The lake went flat calm after the rain had passed and the bite went dead. It was time to pull the plug and head in.

It was nice to have my longest standing clients back again this year. They had been fishing with me for over 20 years and seen plenty of fish on their trips. Today was another one of those and a great one again. They will be back with me tomorrow and hopefully we will have another memorable day of fishing to add to the others from the past. May even have to take a road trip to another puddle to get it done. Bigger bass ahead!!
