Sandro and his sons, Mateo & Vasco were with me this morning for another mixed bag day. All three of them slammed, making for an incredible fishing trip! <\/span><\/p>\n

Winds were out of the NE as we ventured across the water to our starting location. Although a little rough in places, it was nothing compared to a few of the outings this season! <\/span><\/p>\n

With rods in, I began a troll as all three of my guests were pretty new to the fishing game. This would at least put plenty of fish in the boat until we switched up to casting. <\/span><\/p>\n

Within the first 5 minutes Vasco was tight to a really good fish and I soon realized why. He was locked up on a nice walleye! After a little coaching, he soon had it close enough for me to net. Although too big to keep, it did make for a nice pic before being released. <\/span><\/p>\n

The winds were blowing opposite the current as I worked the area and trolling with the wind was a whole lot easier than against. Boat control was a little sloppy at times as I manned the 4 lines and steered the boat too. Thankfully the electric motor helped with keeping the rig straight!<\/span><\/p>\n

The bites weren\u2019t fast & furious this morning, but we did have plenty of chances. Most were pike but several walleye also came out to play. In fact, they were even able to put a couple of them in the box to bring home with them tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the morning passed, the numbers continued to climb. Mateo & his brother took turns fighting fish and a few of those times, they were even doubles. Sandro eventually got into the game as well, landing a few of his own too!<\/span><\/p>\n

I had wanted to teach the boys how to cast properly and after stretching their legs on shore, I made my way to an area for bass. They both picked it up quickly and Vasco hooked into a big smallie on his very first cast. It hammered him boatside making for a crazy fight! Not wanting to hold it for a pic, his brother was more than happy take the shot!<\/span><\/p>\n

I had all three throwing soft plastics here and despite plenty of fish in the area, it was Sandro that fended the best. He managed to land three nice bass in the time we spent there. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wanting everyone to hook up I decided to change locations again so that Mateo could also complete his slam. By positioning the boat properly I had him toss right to where I knew the fish were. It didn\u2019t take long before he was battling another nice bass. Mission accomplished!<\/span><\/p>\n

Time was passing fast and I had hoped to try a little drop shotting in an area closer to the take out. We made our way to open water and I set them up for the drift. Too bad the winds weren\u2019t making it easy, blowing opposite to the current flow. I was forced to pull the boat downstream with the electric motor just to get us moving. <\/span><\/p>\n

We made several passes over the area and they managed to get into some bass and a couple of walleye before we were done. I would have liked a different wind direction today, but by making a few adjustments, I made it work. They had all landed plenty of fish and slammed with three different species as well. This was definitely a successful day of fishing!<\/span><\/p>\n
