Herm was finally back after a lengthy time not fishing. It was over two years since he wet a line in Canada and he was in for a treat. We were going to see if we could get him a limit of walleye and of course some bass!

Our first spot was absolutely windless and this made for a terrible drift. We did manage to pick up 3 walleye and a smallie but it was tough. Although I was marking fish, they just didn’t seem to want to bite. Between the full moon period and water level dropping almost 2 feet, it made for tough fishing in this area.

We made a move and switched locations, hoping for better action. We were now casting the drop shot and managed to pick up one more walleye from this area, giving Herm a total of 4 for the day. We also tried some deep water dropshotting and landed several good smallies in the process.

A little wind started to happen in the early afternoon and I thought we’d give another place a try. To my surprise, it was very light there and movement was at a minimum. I was actually forced to change techniques completely and go to a presentation that was geared to dead water drifting. I broke out the float rods and it was game on! For the remainder of the day, we consistently landed oversized walleye and bass until it was time to go. We also brought to net two more good keepers completing his 6 fish limit for the day!

Although it may have been a little slower than expected today, we were able to adjust to the conditions and finish with a bang. Sometimes a very small change can make all the difference and today it showed. We are back out again tomorrow and hoping for a little more wind, but if not I know just what to do! Better fishing ahead!

Another day of hateful NE winds and today they were bigger than usual! My key areas were not even fishable and I had to bring Richard to alternate spots instead. He still managed to catch plenty of bass but the average size was smaller than I have been used to seeing lately. At one point we even went shallow and managed to get into some better fish there too. Overall a tough day but still quite productive!

Shamlan invited 3 of his friends fishing this afternoon making it a full boat! I was faced with similar conditions like yesterday, but with bigger NE winds. Add to that the cold front that arrived overnight and I knew exactly what I had to do. We were going deep once again!

We made the best of the half day trip by making multiple deep drifts, dropshotting over the abyss. It was a little difficult at first as a couple of them hadn’t fished before but eventually they caught on and everybody landed bass. Some of them were real quality once again and made for some great pics too!

It looks like the conditions won’t improve anytime soon and I will be back out again tomorrow in more hateful NE winds. Oh yeah, a cold front overnight will be adding to the misery as well making it another deep water day!

A morning trip with two couples proved to be a successful bass fishing outing for all! Darren, Phil, Wendy & Lori all managed to catch decent smallies. Some of them were even quality! The SE winds made it a little tough to get a proper presentation in deep water, but I somehow made it work. Four rods in is always a challenge when I can’t drift properly! Eventually the winds died completely making it a scorcher towards the end of the morning. Sure glad we only had a half day scheduled!

Richard was back today with Liam but this time Karen didn’t join them. Instead her husband Dave was along for the ride, so to speak! The three of them had a great time catching smallies, from deep water. We spent the better part of the day dropshotting the depths and plenty of bass were landed. Not all of them were big but there was definitely some quality in the mix. They had multiple doubles and even a triple header that made for a great pic! All in all a pretty great day!
