Double Blow Day

Another double trip day saw Sam and his wife in the morning and Mark and his son in the afternoon. The morning started a bit slow but soon picked up when I went deep. Plenty of bass were caught for the balance of their morning and some really good ones too. Dropshotting was the technique and they caught on quickly. Although they missed fish, they also caught many.

Mark and his son joined me for the second trip, but conditions were much tougher. This morning, we had a light wind from the NE, building towards the end. Once I transferred guests, it started to blow and kept increasing. By the time we began fishing, we were in 3 footers, against the current flow. Not easy when you’re trying to drift while dropshotting! I was forced to pull the boat down current with the electric motor, just to present the baits correctly. Once I got everything in order, they began catching fish. We made multiple long drift passes and had fish, on each one. We endured the waves for hours and they each battled many big fish before we were done. Despite the difficult conditions this afternoon, both trips did equally well with a technique they had never done before. The run back was probably the toughest part of today, with big rollers all the way. I also had an obstacle course of sailboats to contend with, as I think there was a race going on. It seemed like they were using half the lake as their course! All in all, the day worked out quite well. Everyone caught plenty of fish and had a great time fishing today!!
