Strange Surprises

Sam & his brother Stan had an interesting day on the water as Mother Nature blew once again! Winds were out of the NE and the temperatures dropped significantly. It was actually cold this morning when we began!

I decided to start back where we did well yesterday but soon found out it wasn’t the same. With only a handful of bass caught, we were forced to change areas quickly. I made a long run to try and escape the winds and eventually did just that. We hit several areas on this side and were fairly protected on all.

I jumped all over throughout the day and found some fish in each spot we fished. IIn one particular bass zone, they actually landed a pile of walleye. This was quite a surprise, but a welcomed one nonetheless!

The remainder of the day saw similar results with a mix of fish. The highlights of the day had to be when Sam hooked into a big fish on a dropshot that ended up being a catfish. Stan also battled a huge sturgeon to the boat that was his first ever dinosaur.

Although today may not have been what I had hoped for, plenty of good fish were caught. Of course, the winds laid down in the end, but this allowed me to do a little dropshotting. One last bass was caught by Stan before we called it a day. Tougher than usual bite, but always a great day for fishing!!
