Kevin joined me today with his son, hoping to get into some sturgeon. It hadn’t been showing much life but we were going to give it a try. First stop looked promising, but after 30 minutes of nothing, I ran to another place hoping to find some fish. I marked some smaller ones and decided to try,hoping there were a few big ones around too. In the end, we managed to get 5 fish from the area before we left. Two small sturgeon, one bass, one Redhorse sucker and a damn eel were caught and released. I really hate those slimy things!

By early afternoon we were dropshotting the deep once again and several decent smallies were landed. It took a little while before they got the hang of it but in the end, they fended quite well.

With limited time remaining, I opted for another species and headed to an area for walleye. We had a difficult time with no wind and there was also a ton of floating weeds from the heavy boat traffic. Despite all of this, we were still able to land several nice eyes before we were done.

The last three days on the water have been a real challenge with the conditions and low water but I’ve worked through it. Hopefully this will all change soon and the cool fall temperatures will arrive. I wouldn’t mind a little wind as well to clear up all the floaters! Hopefully better conditions ahead!
