Scott and Frenchie enjoyed another day filled with plenty of fish. We may not have had the best conditions, with a big NW wind and an overnight cold front, but we fended alright. From walleye to bass and even one huge sturgeon, they caught fish all day long. Almost all the areas we fished held something and they definitely ended with a bang. On the last place we stopped, there were numbers of big bass landed on soft plastics to end with a bang. Frenchie definitely had the hot hand today but Sott held his own too! Just another day in paradise!!

A morning trip today saw Stewart, Shawn, Brandon & Cole learning to use a dropshot. We had the right wind direction for a good drift and I took advantage of the areas I wanted to fish. I covered plenty of water and everyone had their fair share of bites. Both bass and walleye were taken this morning with all but 2 keepers released. Fortunately, we were able to dodge the rain before we were done. Another great trip with a bunch of great guys!!

Dylan joined me today for a smallmouth bonanza! We targeted the brownies for the most part and hit them on every spot we fished. Despite the big west winds, we managed quite well with good numbers, including his first ever sturgeon. In the short time out during this half day, Dylan caught enough fish to make this a great day of fishing!

Kristina had to reschedule her trip with me for tomorrow as the ramp and weather was going to bee an issue. She was flexible and we arranged an afternoon trip today instead. She was joined by her mother and son today and they hoped to get into a few fish that they had never caught before.

Although the conditions were tough with 90 plus degree heat & humidity and flat water, we grinded out a few of the species on their list. Her son August managed walleye, bass and a good-sized sturgeon at the worst part of the day. We fished from about 12:15 until 4:30 PM. Brutal, to say the least!

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!!
