A Really Grand Day

Joseph was with me this morning along with his granddaughter Alexandra. I was hoping that the storms we had come through last night didn’t kill the bite. Only time would tell!
It took all of about 30 seconds to fire the first reel once I had the rods in and Alexandra battled a really nice walleye to the boat. We worked hard for the remainder of the bites we got after this and struggled for a while too. Mostly pike but a few more walleye and one really nice smallie was landed before I decided to switch it up.
We packed the trolling gear away and went for smallies on soft plastics. I taught Alexandra how to cast and it didn’t take her long to get the hang of things. She even managed to hook a couple on her own! With only the morning to fish, time flew by quickly and before we knew it, we were done.
They both managed to land several nice fish this morning despite the cold dirty water from all the rain recently. I’m sure that if we hadn’t gotten the electrical storm last night, the fishing would have been much better! Regardless, they had a great time and Joseph enjoyed seeing his granddaughter catch fish even more. Great half day of fishing!
