I had double trips today with Ben & Jen in the morning, followed by Lori & Geof in the afternoon. Both couples had a good time catching all kinds of pike, along with some walleye & bass.

Morning cold front conditions made fishing a little slow by my standards but they still managed to boat plenty of fish in their short 4 hour trip. We ended up fishing smallies for the last hour and they brought some good ones to net.

Lori & Geoff in the afternoon had a much quicker start to their trip with pike coming in hand over fist in the beginning. Geoff landed the only walleye and it was his first one too! We were even checked this afternoon by the game wardens! Nice to finally see them on the lake!

When the bite slowed a bit, we headed to an area I knew, holding tons of gar. Lori wanted to see them and hoped to actually catch one. They were all there, but not really eating. One fish grabbed a senko and was hooked for a while, but eventually came off as I tried to grab it. Oh well, at least they saw plenty of them!

Bass were the last species we went for and although slow, there were still a few of them landed in the remaining time we had.

Today was exhausting but by having great people in the boat, it made it all worthwhile. Both couples had firsts with the pike & walleye and ended with the bass. Four hours go fast, but doubling it up in the same day makes it go even quicker! Busy day but loaded with fun!
