Adam & his son Zach were with me today and new to fishing. I decided to start by drop shotting an area in hopes of teaching them what to look for. About 15 seconds into the demonstration, I reeled down on a good 18 inch walleye and my demonstration was complete!<\/span><\/p>\n

We spend almost 2 hours drifting various lines in big waves and a light rain before trying something new. They had caught a bunch of bass & walleye and lost even more on the strikes. It\u2019s normal for more fish to be lost than landed when you\u2019re new to the sport!<\/span><\/p>\n

Our next area had them casting soft plastics for the cruising smallies and Zach was on fire. He slammed the hooks to a bunch of fish and had a blast catching them. With a little coaching he became quite good at detecting the subtle bites and caught more fish than his dad. Adam still managed to land a few of his own but seemed to lose more than he was catching. Not having fished much before, it was expected! Regardless he still was having fun and enjoyed seeing Zach hammering on the fish!<\/span><\/p>\n

I had decided to go back to drop shotting for the last hour or so in the day, hoping to get them a few more walleye to bring home. Unfortunately the winds had died off completely and the bite was tough. Despite struggling with the walleye, they did however manage to land several more bass. Unfortunately they missed about as many as they boated! The bites were absolutely terrible with the lack of current and there was almost no movement at all. We were almost done, when Adam brought to net the last bass of the day! Always nice to end on a high!<\/span><\/p>\n

Plenty of fish were caught today with even more, either lost or just missed altogether. The weather didn\u2019t help either as it started out cool and lightly raining in big waves and was followed by sunshine, heat and flat calm conditions. Both Adam & Zach experienced all different types of fishing today and caught throughout it all. Being relatively new to the sport, I think they did quite well. Overall it was a very successful outing and I look forward to fishing with them again, sometime in the near future!<\/span><\/p>\n
