Three generations and two birthdays were aboard today, hoping to catch some freshwater fish for dinner. \u00a0Jennifer, her son Nick and her mother Bev joined me as we headed out to make it happen. I would be taking them dropshotitng on rockpiles and with any luck, the fish would cooperate!<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long before both bass and walleye were coming aboard, but most were on the smaller side and had to be released. Eventually a few keepers were landed though and the livewell was fired up. They would be having fresh fish for dinner! Being from Florida, they were use to saltwater ones, but tonight their catch of the day was to be fresh!<\/p>\n

The weather was just about perfect today with sun and cloud and a decent wind for the drift. Temps were also quite pleasant and remained in the 70\u2019s the entire day, making for a comfortable outing. The fish were even cooperating as multiple hits were being had with each and every drift. I just kept rotating areas the entire time, monopolizing on all the active fish. When things slowed down, I would relocate and do it all over again. Although there were a few slow periods, someone was almost always hooked up.<\/p>\n

Sometime in the afternoon, I moved to an area I hadn\u2019t been to in a while and Nick landed a couple of really good fish. The birthday boy even took top honors with a bonus northern that ate the dropshot rig as well. We may not have pounded on the fish heavily from one spot but by moving around they were able to have plenty of action. It seemed that every location was holding some fish and they definitely caught from all.<\/p>\n

A slightly earlier than usual end to the day was requested and I finished off right where we had started. Everyone managed to land a few more fish before we were done and some of them even made it into the tank!<\/p>\n

Fresh fish was requested this morning and they would be having a great meal tonight. Several good keepers were taken back with them for the birthday dinner. Bev was looking forward to dining on fresh fish for her birthday and so were all the others. For some reason fish always tastes better when you\u2019ve caught them yourself! They definitely had enough to feed the six people that would be eating tonight!<\/p>\n

Overall, I couldn\u2019t have asked for a more enjoyable day with the outcome. Between the weather and the company, it was just about perfect. Oh yeah and the fishing was pretty good too!!<\/p>\n
