Alexandre & his son Thierry were joined by Alain & his son Jordan, hoping for a good day of walleye fishing. We were going to try and get in as much time as we could, before the scheduled winds arrived. Hopefully Mother Nature would be kind to us for a while!

Alexandre had seen the pics from just a few days back and was looking forward to possibly catching some big walleye of his own. He started off with a bang! On his second or third cast, he was into a nice one that definitely wouldn’t be a keeper! This was just the beginning of another insane day!

Once I had everyone oriented on presentations, it wasn’t long before they were all catching fish. I refined the areas and slowly moved around, searching for the fish. It seemed like every few minutes I was netting someone’s catch. They all managed to fight their fair share of big fish, along with a good number of keepers. In fact, getting a limit of walleye was not an issue!

Throughout the day we saw a mix of both walleye & bass but it was Alain that hooked into the monster of the day. He somehow managed to have a lunge eat his bait and eventually landed his first ever musky. We shot several pics and returned his catch quickly.

Although the winds did pick up at times, it never really got out of hand enough to end the day. I was worried this morning when I saw the reports and informed them that we would stay as long as we were able. In the end, we finished just about the same time as I would have done. The last hour was probably the slowest period of the entire day and they still managed to boat several good fish.

I don’t think anyone had imagined the fishing to be as good as it was today. Right from the start they began catching and they never looked back. It was one fish after the other for the entire day! The fall fishing is at its prime right now and although the weather remains nice for the moment, it definitely will change. I only hope that I can fish through this entire month once again as the last couple of years have shut me down much earlier than expected. Only time will tell!
