John was with his son in law Greg and grandson Mike today, in search of big fish. Flat calm conditions and overcast skies had me beginning with a troll. They managed to get into a bunch of walleye and pike with several eyes making it into the livewell. They would be eating well tonight! The sun finally made a brief appearance in the morning making the fish active, but only for a short period of time. Eventually it disappeared and we were back to covering water, to get bit again.

With plenty of fish caught throughout the morning in flat conditions, it was only a matter of time before the weather would change. It began to rain lightly as we trolled out of the productive area, to our next area and still managed to catch more fish. I finally reached the spot I was looking for and we switched gears completely.

The last hour was spent sturgeon fishing in heavy rain and each of them landed a fish. Once I completed the rotation, it was time to head back! Unfortunately, the winds had just increased out of the east and it was a long run. Add the heavy rains and low visibility and I was glad to have GPS and this Ranger!

Wet but safe, we arrived at the ramp and were all glad to be back. It had been an interesting day to say the least, with all the different weather. The fishing was great however and that’s all that counts! We may have been soaked but everyone had a good time catching all kinds of fish. Nice try Mother Nature, but we endured your wrath and had a great day, regardless!!
