Sturgeon & Eyes
octobre 4, 2024
A double trip today saw Marco, Rogerio and Mario in the morning, searching for a sturgeon bite. They were from Brazil and looking to catch something big. They weren’t disappointed!
Winds were finally out of the SW and light making anchoring up much easier. We fished until close to 11:00 and everyone caught big fish. Not the giants I would have liked, but still big to them. They even had a double header that was a little chaotic to land. A great morning of fishing!
My afternoon trip was with Ken and his brother Rob and their father Denis. We were heading out for walleye as their dad hadn’t caught one in quite a while. I knew it wouldn’t be a problem and began almost immediately. Several drifts over rocky areas produced plenty of bites, but most of them were missed. Striking too fast didn’t allow the fish to get hooked, but they still managed to put a couple of keepers in the box. Time to change locations!
I ventured offshore to an area that was holding some better fish and made several drifts over this area. It was here that they all managed to land a few more walleye. Denis was the one on fire, capturing two good overs and a couple of high-end keepers. Both Rob and Ken also contributed to their catch and Ken boated a big northern as well. We remained here until it was time to leave and they weren’t disappointed. We had accomplished what we had set out to do!
Today was an interesting one filled with a mix of fish. Both targeted species were caught and that’s all that counts. Everyone had a great time, leaving satisfied and the afternoon guys would be eating fresh fish tonight!!
