Vito spent the second & third days with me amongst a whole lot more boat traffic! We moved around plenty, jumping from one spot to the other and catching fish almost everywhere. The holiday weekend didn’t allow me to fish all the places I wanted, but we somehow managed to overcome.

Vito started out on smallies with a hard bodied jerkbait and had a half dozen chances at some big bass. He switched to a slower bait afterwards and cleaned up with a different presentation! We did this both mornings but the second one was a little more complicated with some idiots moving in on us. They would have probably anchored right where we were if I didn’t start yelling at them! You have to love nice, holiday weekend traffic! In the end, we left with only a few more fish as the bass were totally spooked off the spot!

A whole lot of the places I fished were slower than expected and I realized why, quickly. The water had dropped and the flow was at a minimum this weekend. Apparently it happens every year around this time in order to take some of the bigger boats out of the water. We spent a bunch of time fishing deep and probably found better fish offshore. Although the shallow bite wasn’t great, there were still some fish to catch!

We finished off both days targeting walleye and got into them pretty good on the first day. Too bad I had to encounter another moron trying to fish right where we were. I quickly took care of the problem and he backed off! What’s wrong with people that they don’t even know? I guess you really can’t fix stupid! We did manage to catch enough eyes for a good meal, after Vito’s trip was over. Great times with a great person! I hope he returns next season so that we can continue the tradition! Safe travels home Vic!
