Mike and his wife Catherine joined me today for an excellent fishing outing. It started out a little slow but once the wind picked up, the bite was on fire! They caught plenty of fish on dropshot rigs and both landed their very first smallmouth bass. They also caught many, many more too! In the end the managed to bring home limits of walleye that Mike will be cleaning for a while! They’ll be eating them for a while too! Oh yeah, they both slammed with pike as the third species too!

Shamlan & Arman experienced another good day of fishing today in not so great conditions. Winds were blowing hard from the SW giving us average 3 footers! They both landed many bass & walleye in the 6 hours they fished. We ended the day around 2:00 as they wanted to see more of Montreal before they headed home. Another great day of fishing and action nonstop!

Steven and his son Nathan had a great day filled with plenty of fish. They caught walleye, bass, pike and an elusive drum on dropshot before we switched exclusively to bass. Soft plastics were used for the rest of the day and they pounded on the smallmouth. Nathan even managed a big walleye but we released it quickly due to a deep hooking. Today was a real scorcher with sunshine and zero wind and hydrating was necessary in the high humidity. The best part of the day was probably the run back to the dock as this was the coolest we were all day!

Norman and his son Daniel fished with me this morning and boated a bunch of walleye and bass. The bite was slow, but they were able to get into the fish by slowing down with a dropshot. Neither of them had much experience fishing before and fended quite well.

My afternoon party of two were quite similar in experience and we repeated the process with a dropshot technique. Tim picked up a couple of fish right away but his friend wasn’t as lucky. It took a little longer for him to get in the game. We moved around a bit, it but it was one area that we focussed most of our time drifting. Although it was loaded with fish it was also loaded with floating weeds and this made it difficult to get bit. They spent most of the time cleaning their lines!

Overall today was a good day, but between all the boat traffic and tough fishing conditions, it was a little slow. The full moon is behind us now and the fishing should improve. Warming temps will have the fish more active this week, or so I hope! They are finally beginning to move to their summer locations and a mix of deep & shallow fish should be had. Even better days to come!

Russell & his wife Rachel joined me today for a mix of everything. Although we were focussed on bass and walleye, there was always a chance of something bigger. Rachel proved that with a nice sized northern caught on a drop shot rig. She also managed to land the largest walleye and bass as well giving her a great slam for the day. Both Rachel and Russell landed plenty of walleye and bass and were able to take a good limit of Walters back with them in the end. All in all a pretty good day!
