Hughes, Oliver & Phillip were with me today, for another scorcher! Our morning bite was on fire with the wind & waves, but unfortunately more fish were missed than landed. They did however bring a good number of them to net though, including 4 nice keeper walleye!<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the wind died, I decided to try a little trolling but it was short lived. I just couldn\u2019t get out of all the floating grass like weeds that were on the surface, as well as in the water column. It was a real ordeal trying to keep the lines clean and I just gave up completely. Mondays are always the worst after the weekend traffic blazing all over the lake, chewing up the grass!<\/span><\/p>\n

Off we went to try some casting for walleye again but this didn\u2019t work out well at all. They did have plenty of hits but about 5% of the bites were converted into landed fish. Eventually the fish just stopped biting all together and we were forced to move again!<\/span><\/p>\n

I decided to return to where we had begun as it seemed like the winds had returned somewhat. The sun was up high now and although the fish were still there, they were pressed tightly on the bottom and required a finesse approach to make them bite. Basically you had to be right in their face if you were going to get bit!<\/span><\/p>\n

We spend the last couple of hours making multiple drifts over the areas and they landed several more bass. They seemed like the only ones wanting to bite! In the end one more walleye came aboard bringing the total of keeper sized ones up to 7 for the day. There were many others caught, but they were either too small or too big to make the cut!<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the action was slow at times today, it was also on fire at other times too! Unfortunately the learning curve was during this period and they were only able to take advantage of a small percentage of their bites. Plenty of missed opportunities were the result but eventually they rebounded and put fish in the boat. All in all it was still a great day for fishing!<\/span><\/p>\n
