Matt was my guest today and primarily looking for bass. He wanted to refine a few techniques and we fished various places and covered plenty of water to get it done. Both deep and shallow areas were targeted and plenty of bass were caught. Even a few walleye fell victim to our offerings! Our last spot of the day not only held bass but one big old toothy critter as well. Matt finally landed his first musky and it was on a bass bait! You just never know where these things will show up. Overall, today was a great day for learning and an even better one for catching!!

Keisuke was here, all the way from Japan and looking to catch some different fish. He literally didn’t speak a word of English but that wasn’t a problem. The Google Translate App really helped with the communication, on both ends. I can’t believe how easy it is to use and just how good it actually works. It definitely made my job much easier today!

Keisuke started out with his own double header while trolling and landed both of them. One pike & one walleye shared the pics as he held the two of them up for the shot. We covered plenty of water and he managed to catch all kinds of pike & walleye. A few went in the box, but the majority were released as they were just too big to keep!

After trolling for most of the morning I decided to give him a changeup and switched over to smallmouth for a while. He couldn’t believe the power of these brown bass and not having caught one before, fell in love immediately!

I had wanted to get him into something big and finally switched over to the big dogs! He battled a huge sturgeon for about ten minutes and was done after landing it. This is when he requested an early departure. The fish had taken him out!

Keisuke probably never had any idea that today was going to be the best fishing day of his life. In the 5 or so hours we were out, he landed more big fish than he ever could have imagined. The icing on the cake however would have been the monster, that ended his day! He definitely finished on a high!!

Scott & Chris had another unbelievable day on the water today capturing enough fish for more grand slams. They both boated walleye, pike, bass and a few sturgeon. What started out with a troll for the eyes, switched to casting for bass and eventually spot locking for sturgeon. The weather even changed a few times and went from a NE wind and overcast skies to no wind and bright sunshine. Regardless, we got it done, in spades! Great fishing all around and they even left with several keeper sized walleye!

Rob, Tim & Garnit joined me today for another spectacular day of fishing! They all managed grand slams, capturing 4 different species of fish. The morning saw plenty of pike & walleye, trolling vast areas and some of them were quite big. They were able to put a limit of high-end keeper eyes in the boat as well as releasing many overs. The afternoon saw a mix of bass and a few sturgeon with each of them landing a giant. We finished off the day by dropshotting deeper water where they once again all landed smallmouth.

Today was a picture perfect one, with just enough wind from the SW to keep everyone cool on this scorcher day. The great fishing didn’t hurt either as everyone landed plenty of quality fish!!

Pierre had fished against me in many tournaments in the past, but today we were sharing the same boat. He booked a day out, several weeks back and was looking to get into a bunch of fish. I knew he wouldn’t be disappointed!

We headed on the water early in a strong SE wind that was supposed to increase throughout the day. Fortunately, we were going to the south side and at least would be able to fish. We would deal with the big waves later!

With reels in, we began the troll and it didn’t take long before the first one fired. He landed a good keeper walleye and it went into the livewell immediately. Hopefully we would be able to add a few more too!

The morning went by fast with so many fish coming aboard. He was able to put two more good fish in the livewell while all the others were too big and released. One of them was even a huge 28-inch fish and the biggest one he had caught in quite some time! Along with all the walleye, there were also plenty of pike landed and released, without any pics taken.

We decided to move on to bass and spent the afternoon targeting them. Shallow rock flats and soft plastics were used to land plenty of these and a few of them were quality sized ones too! I even caught a few and one huge drum, while fishing the same areas for bass!

We had fished several areas throughout the afternoon and finished on the most productive one. After landing a few more bass, we called it a day. I knew the run back would be a rough one and packed everything down for the ride. It wasn’t until we were about half way back that it got really bad and the last half mile or so was the worse. The winds were blowing from the south and 3-foot rollers were the norm. The boat handled the waves fine but unfortunately one of the big waves caused the passenger seat to come down harder than usual and the smooth moves base let go. It actually broke somehow when it bottomed out. Looks like I’ll be contacting the company soon!

Today was a great day, right up until the end with the seat issue. It was like a blast from the past having Pierre on the boat. For many years we had competed against each other in bass tournaments and today we just relaxed. Lots of laughs and plenty of fish made the day go by quickly and before we knew it, we were parting ways. Hopefully we’ll do this again soon and enjoy another day reminiscing about old times and catching many more fish of course. This was definitely a great day for fishing!!
