Third Time’s A Charm

It always amazes me how a little bad weather can keep everyone off the water! Today I had a couple from Mexico that met me at the ramp, later than my usual afternoon trip time. They drove back from Quebec City in pouring rain to arrive by 1:00. I was the only trailer in the lot! The lake was no different with zero boats anywhere! We literally had the place to ourselves!

I had decided earlier that I wanted to get them into several different species, that they had never seen and accomplished my goal. Luis & Diana were able to land bass, walleye and sturgeon in the short time we were out.

The conditions changed often with both wind direction and heavy cloud cover, to total sunshine. The fish also adjusted making it quite challenging. Multiple lure & bait changes were used to capture all the fish in this short 4-hour trip. In the end however, it all worked out. They had definitely saved the best for last with their Canadian vacation. Now they can say that they’ve fished and caught on a Canadian freshwater lake!!
