Big Fish Double

Morning and afternoon trips saw me on the water all day with two different groups. The first gang consisted of Laurent and his son Olivier as well as his nephew Ariel. We began dropshotting areas that held both bass and walleye and had some success with them. Unfortunately, the constant weeds on the line had us shifting gears halfway through their trip. I moved to another area where I began a troll. This proved to be much more effective as the big walleye were on fire. In the remaining time we had, they boated many more fish. Too bad we ran out of time as I left them biting!

The afternoon gang had Rodman, his father Rafael and son Rafi, as well as their friend William. I immediately headed back to where I had left biting fish and was surprised to see that they weren’t around anymore. I covered the area thoroughly with only one pike bite for our efforts! Time to move on.

I figured that I would continue trolling old waypoints until I found some fish and that I did. Eventually I ran into a few pike and Rodman got to do battle with the fish of his dreams. He had finally hooked into a small musky and was thrilled to catch his first one. After this, we resumed trolling and for the rest of the afternoon, hammered the walleye once again. Just like the morning trip, the walleye were quite plentiful. They even managed to take a few of the high-end keepers home with them.

Today was another great one for both groups and loads of fish were landed by everyone. Hopefully the next few days will be the same with the weather about to change. I’m sure I will have to make many more adjustments to be able to keep us on fish again. Only time will tell, but I will definitely do my best to satisfy everyone on board!!
