Norman and his son Daniel fished with me this morning and boated a bunch of walleye and bass. The bite was slow, but they were able to get into the fish by slowing down with a dropshot. Neither of them had much experience fishing before and fended quite well.

My afternoon party of two were quite similar in experience and we repeated the process with a dropshot technique. Tim picked up a couple of fish right away but his friend wasn’t as lucky. It took a little longer for him to get in the game. We moved around a bit, it but it was one area that we focussed most of our time drifting. Although it was loaded with fish it was also loaded with floating weeds and this made it difficult to get bit. They spent most of the time cleaning their lines!

Overall today was a good day, but between all the boat traffic and tough fishing conditions, it was a little slow. The full moon is behind us now and the fishing should improve. Warming temps will have the fish more active this week, or so I hope! They are finally beginning to move to their summer locations and a mix of deep & shallow fish should be had. Even better days to come!
