Another Nor Easter Cold Front

Ben & his family joined me today on this very chilly morning. Winds were from the NE and it felt more like the fall when we headed out. A pretty good roll greeted us as we headed to our first spot to fish!

I don’t think the lines were in for even a minute when one of the reels went off and the first oversized walleye was landed, photographed and released. Not a bad start to the day!

Winds were against the current and the waves were 2 footers where we were but it didn’t stop the fish from eating. We spent the morning covering water and although the bites weren’t fast and furious, they definitely caught fish. Too bad most of the walleye were too big to keep!

Sometime after 1:00, I decided to change locations and ran to another place to fish. Once again the action wasn’t fantastic but many more fish were caught. Although they were primarily pike, one of them was a much bigger toothy creature and the very first for this gang! I always love an accidental bonus catch!

Overall this day was a little slower than I had hoped for but expected after the crappy weather we received recently. Hurricane like winds for over 2 days really stirred up the water and the major cold front had the fish sucking bottom. Many adjustments were made to get the bites we did but in the end, it all worked out. Their first experience was a good one and I expect a return visit sometime later this summer. Always a great day for fishing!
