Rick & Danny were with me on this last day of the month for another trip this year. They were here for 3 days and hopefully we would get a shot at everything. That is, if the weather would cooperate!

We started the day on sturgeon and Rick hooked into a good one pretty early. It was a great battle with plenty of runs that lasted almost 10 minutes. Unfortunately all we could come up with afterwards were 4 other small ones and a hateful redhorse sucker!

Sometime around midday we moved on to bass and Rick once again had the upper hand. Although he did receive plenty of bites, keeping them on the hooks was the issue. I think he ended up bringing only 2 of them to the boat for pics! Both Rick and Danny somehow hooked big sturgeon as well on jigs but that battle was short lived as they eventually pulled free. They are hard enough to land on the proper tackle when they are in the mouth!

I moved around a bit and hit another spot after this one slowed down and we definitely saw some fish. They came in to the baits but refused to eat! We tried a bunch of different lures but they just didn’t want any part of what we were throwing. In the end I think there was one smaller fish that came aboard out of the entire school.

I made another move when we saw a couple of heavy rain clouds moving in and managed to go between them to an area and fish. The winds had picked up some and I knew we wouldn’t be waiting long before it passed. Unfortunately there weren’t any fish caught, but at least we stayed dry!

I hit a couple more spots before the day was over and even stayed out a little longer when we finally got into fish. Our last one saw a mix of bass, walleye & jumbo perch and it was hard to leave! Right around 4:30 and after a couple more fish, we decided to go. I may be back in the morning and start here if the conditions are right!

Today was slower than I had hoped for, but by moving around we managed to get into some good fish. Although there were only pics of Rick, I’m sure Danny will rebound tomorrow with some of his own. We won’t be wasting time with the sturgeon allowing us to cover water and spend more time on bass & walleye. I’m sure there will be lots of fish caught and plenty of memories and laughs too!
