Brahm & Sam were with me for the morning trip and due to the big winds, I didn’t run too far! We focussed our entire time drop shotting flats for both walleye & smallmouth. Between the two of them, they managed to bring 4 nice keeper eyes home as well as land many more fish. Several nice bass were also boated and as always, plenty of fish were lost or entirely missed!
The afternoon saw Dan & Ken out with me as the winds intensified. We made a pretty long run to get started and they managed to land some nice bass on our first spot.
I tried to fish another place off the main current after, but soon found out that it was next to impossible. It was like being in a washing machine! Waves from two directions along with a heavy current made for some difficult fishing and we opted to just give up here.
We were forced to make another long run further away from the start in hopes that we could fish there. I set up on a shallow flat and we bounced around in two & three footers the entire time! Fortunately there were fish here and they caught as many as they could keep pinned before adjusting our location once more.
Our final area had plenty of fish as we soon found out and at one point it was almost every cast. Although not huge, they were quite aggressive and it made for a great finish to the day. Dan did however hook into two of the biggest ones, but unfortunately equipment failure caused them to get off!
The run back to the ramp was a little longer than usual with big waves causing me to slow down for the ride. We ran back in 3’s and 4’s most of the time and with the waves too!
Between the morning trip and the afternoon one, many fish were caught and lost making this a pretty good day all around. I wasn’t sure last night if I would even be able to get out today, but Mother Nature allowed me to and we got the job done. Another great day of fishing!
