A Triple Beating
September 18, 2021
A rescheduling for today’s client had Christiane & Dan in the boat instead! I headed out with Dan for a couple of hours first in pursuit of walleye and we got on them big time. When I went back to pick up Christiane, we know exactly where they were. We actually had left them biting in order to get her from the ramp!
Once the three of us started casting, we filled the livewell in no time. We were on a quest for eaters and had no problem getting a couple of limits, with many others released as well. There were even a few jumbo smallies caught from the same area too. Now it was time to switch gears!
I had wanted to focus on bass after our morning success and headed to an area to pound on them too. Unfortunately as I neared the spot, I realized that there was another boat exactly where I needed to be. Plan B was immediately made instead and we headed there hoping for a few good bites.
Christiane slammed a big one quickly, right after I had missed two good bites. After I missed a third fish for no apparent reason Christiane landed yet another one. There wasn’t a lot of fish where we were, but they were good ones!
I had covered plenty of great looking water and only come up with a few bass, so it was time for another move. I idled over to where I wanted to be and almost immediately Christiane was into another bass. She also missed a few others and landed a couple more too! I managed to get a few myself but Dan was struggling just to get bit!
I had left just enough time in the day to check out one last spot. It was the first chance I had to see if it was holding bass and was it ever! They were all over the area and each time we casted, there were fish following. Several good smallies were taken from here by all of us. Although it took Dan a while to get in the game he finally changed to what we were throwing and hooked up. He even had a chance at a big musky from the same area, but luck wasn’t on his side. We continued casting for bass and everyone managed to hook up multiple times before we were done.
Overall today was a great success with plenty of fish being landed by all. We even managed to take a couple of limits of walleye. All this and I was off by 3:00 too! I’m looking forward to getting back out real soon!
