This was the final day that Chris was to be with me and I wanted to get hm into some bigger fish. Yesterday saw a good number of bass & walleye, but nothing really worthy of a pic. Hopefully today would be a different story!

Lighter winds had us drifting slower than usual, over a rocky flat and several fish were landed and lost from here. It was slower than usual, so I didn’t waste too much time on this spot, before moving to another one further away. I wanted to see if I could find some larger walleye & bass and the run and gun approach was my best bet.

The fish were acting a bit lethargic this morning and although we saw plenty on the electronics, we were only able to get a couple of the bigger ones I wanted. Chris did manage to land two really good eyes that were finally worthy of pics! Several smaller walleye were also caught but the bass eluded us from this area.

The rest of the day was spent jumping around in search of better fish and despite fishing shallow, the bass were all on the smaller side. I even tried much deeper and introduced Chris to some of the big fish areas. I instructed him on how to vertically dropshot and unfortunately, I was the only one to get the bigger bass from here.

Chris had wanted to finish earlier today and after a few more spots with limited success, we called it a day. He had seen good fishing on each of the three days spent here and was ready to pack it in. It had been nice, just having one person in the boat and there was definitely plenty of room to spare. Chris had great weather as well, after experiencing high winds and plenty of rain before he arrived. I’ll be busy again this week without any breaks and hopefully fishing another species as well. I’m going to give the sturgeon a shot and with any luck, I’ll be getting into them real soon too!

Chris was in for 4 days and flying solo with me today. He was into fish on the first spot and we never looked back! Each place we hit, held fish and he definitely caught them good. Although mostly a dropshot bite, a few of the fish came on a jig too. From bass to walleye and even a big pike, he landed plenty of quality today. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Another day with double trips saw me on the water with Adam and his son, Miles in the morning. Mitchell & his son, Mathis were also with me in the afternoon and both families had a blast catching fish. They spent almost all the time with a dropshot rod and landed a good number of bass and walleye. Slow drifts over deeper rocky flats provided everyone with plenty of action throughout their trips. Mother nature was also kind to us today as light winds and dry skies made it quite enjoyable to fish!!

Mark & Dan joined me this morning for a half day of fishing. Despite the forecast calling for a big SE wind and rain all day, it was actually pleasant. I had an afternoon booking that cancelled though, giving me the rest of the day off. Never trust the weather!

We began in an area that had been holding plenty of fish and it didn’t take long to hook up. Both bass and walleye were caught from here and a couple of the eyes made it into the box. Multiple passes were made over various sections of this flat and many fish were landed. I hit another area nearby when the action slowed and they managed to catch several more fish there too.

Half days always go fast and after fishing the first spot again, for the last hour, it was time to head back. They had both managed to catch several good bass along with many smaller ones and had 4 walleye to go home with. I’m not sure exactly how many fish they landed but it was more than they were used to seeing. In the end, the weather was great and the fishing was too. Thanks Mother Nature!

Marc & his son Marcellin joined me today and had in incredible time catching fish. They had hoped to catch a few but managed to land way more than that! It was full of action, for the most!

We headed out in a bad SE wind that had me launching in big waves for the start. I had to be careful backing up so as not to swamp the boat in reverse. Once we were to our starting spot, things were looking a whole lot better though and on the very first pass, they were both hooked up. Too bad they lost the fish but it was a good start to the day, I guess!

Throughout the morning, there were many hookups and plenty of bass and walleye were landed and also lost. A couple of the walleye were even kept for them for dinner. We made multiple passes through the area and they managed to catch lots of bass but then it just slowed right down. Another boat moved in to where we were fishing and made it difficult for us to drift, so I just relocated. I never want to educate people when they act like this and decided to try another area further away.

The new spot proved to be a good choice as Marc landed a big smallie as well as an over walleye before we were done. I had noticed off in the distance that the original boat was no longer where we were fishing. I guess he wasn’t able to figure anything out!

AS it was almost noon, I returned both Marc’s to the dock for a break so that they could have lunch nearby. I headed back out on my own to check a couple of areas while they were away and awaited their return. It rained the entire time they were gone and 45 minutes later when they came back, it had almost stopped. I guess they made a good choice in going to eat!

We fished the afternoon in slightly bigger winds than this morning and they continued to catch fish. The rain even completely stopped and made the rest of the day more enjoyable. At least the fish were still cooperative!

Time passed by quickly and just before 4:00, I packed up and headed back in. It wasn’t great conditions at the ramp but I’ve definitely seen worse. The waves were crashing on the shore due to the SE direction, but I soon had the boat on the trailer and out of the water.

Overall today was a success with both Marcs landing many good fish. They even managed to take a limit of walleye home with them in the end. They had learned a new technique and had plenty of practice landing fish. I’m sure I’ll see them back again in he future as they both had a great day of fishing!!
