Herm was here for a couple of days and as usual, the weather wasn\u2019t looking good for day one! I had a decision to make and made it in the morning as we were on the water. We would be fishing walleye until we could fish no more!<\/span><\/p>\n

He had brought along an ultra-light and decided to give it a try. I rigged him up with a drop shot and we began drifting over some deep flats. I wasn\u2019t sure how much time we would have before the weather moved in and wanted to get him into as many fish as I could.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the very first pass, he had a walleye on and it fought like a champ, on this light tackle. It brought me back to my younger days when this was all I used as well. Each time he hooked into a fish, it seemed like a real giant! At one point though, he did hook a much bigger one than we had been catching and this one really put up a battle. A nice 23 inch fish eventually was in the net and it definitely required a pic!<\/span><\/p>\n

We were able to fish comfortably for a couple of hours and caught plenty of good walleye. The bites may have been light but we managed to hook a good number of fish. At least until the winds started to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had been drifting a line and then noticed that the line wasn\u2019t straight anymore. Our SW winds were turning west and eventually went NW. Along with the change, we were also getting hit with a bunch of rain as well. I didn\u2019t know how much longer we had before I\u2019d be pulling the plug!<\/span><\/p>\n

Although we were still fishing, the wind gusts and heavy rains were upon us and feeling any bites was getting next to impossible. We managed to land a couple more before it became too bad and I had no choice but to call it a day. I even had to run back by GPS as visibility was almost completely gone. The shoreline had disappeared with the heavy rains and I needed to be behind the windshield anyway!<\/span><\/p>\n

As much as I would have loved to stay out the conditions weren\u2019t in our favour and we pulled off the water. I had at least gotten Herm into a bunch of walleye and even a smallie, in the few short hours we spent fishing. We even managed to keep a few of the keepers that were caught! Tomorrow we will try for the big ones and with any luck, Herm will battle a few of those beasts too. He won\u2019t be using the light tackle this time however!<\/span><\/p>\n
