Finding Gold

Jasmine and Maxime were my guests today and looking to catch some walleye. We began drifting an open water area and managed to get into some good ones, along with plenty of perch. Jasmine caught a couple that barely made the high end of the legal slot and the others were also good ones too. Plenty of perch hit the same baits and some of the larger ones joined their cousins in the well. The conditions made for nice drifts with a good chop from the right direction, for a change!

I eventually decided to move away from the walleye & perch area and hit the deep, open water spot that had been producing big bass lately. Both Jasmine and Maxime had several bites and a few fish hooked, but it wasn’t fishing like the last several times out. Maxime did manage to land a nice one and unfortunately it was the only one!

We made a few more moves to other shallower areas and only saw smaller fish. In the short remaining time, I headed back to the place we had started in and finished the day with a handful more perch. Time had run out and we were done!

This day was filled with plenty of action and they were taking fish home too. Definitely a win in my books! Both Jasmine and Maxime had caught some good fish today and accomplished what they had wanted to do, with some walleye for a meal. Bon appetite!!
