Alyssa had a birthday today, so what a better way to spend it than fishing! We headed straight for the sturgeon and were hooked up quickly. She battled a few small fish but had several tug of wars with some beasts too. The afternoon saw us fishing for walleye as she hoped to take a few home to eat. Not a problem to get her a limit. Many of them fell victim to the presentations we used and we released plenty of the larger ones in the process. Another great Birthday!

Phil & Ari joined me today for an incredible day of walleye fishing. Despite the dead calm, bluebird sky & unbearable heat wave we experienced, they pounded on them pretty good. Not what someone would associate with fishing for eyes! I had them dialed in and with the aid of electronics was able to put them right in the zones require to make this day a success. Several bass were also marked and caught as well when they appeared in the deep. With a little help, Ari was able to rebound from a difficult start and match his father almost fish for fish by afternoon! Totally awesome fishing!

Another mixed bag day with Max & Valerie today. Sturgeon & bass were the targeted species and they had a blast! Although it was a scorcher of a day with little to no wind, we still managed to get into the fish pretty good. The bass were mostly on soft plastics and the highlight of the day had to be the last hour or so of fishing. A storm front was approaching and the bass went nuts. Max was in his glory hammering them on a blade while Valerie caught them on a crankbait & soft plastics. Great way to spend your birthday, Valerie!

I wanted to get back out for more of those sturgeon today so seeing as how I had no clients, Christiane & I hit the water again. We anchored up & were able to land 5 nice fish and had a few mishaps on several others. Damn these things pull hard! Another short but productive outing!

I hit the water again today with Christiane and mixed it up a bit. Sturgeon, bass & walleye were all landed and a couple of the walleye came home for dinner. Another great outing and we only fished for 4 hours!
