Francis joined me today on what looked like the first decent one since the major cold front hit. Winds were still out of the NE but extremely light, for a change! They were even expected to switch to the SW during the day and this would be a welcomed treat!

We began dropshotting an area for both bass and walleye and I gave him a crash course on the technique. Although he had never done this before, he caught on quickly and managed to land a few fish from our first spot. It wasn’t until we changed locations that he started to do better and here he boated several good walleye and more smallies. I even showed him the casting part of the drop shot, making it easy for him to be able to use it on his own from shore!

I had wanted to show him all three variations of dropshotting so we switched to deeper water and the vertical presentation. It was this one that we remained on for the balance of the day and he caught plenty of good smallies. I know he managed his personal best, several times over!

In the end, both bass & walleye were landed and Francis was even able to bring a few fish home with him. He had never eaten walleye before but I knew he would love them! Overall, a great day of fishing!
