Herm was back again today for his second day of fishing, but my wife also joined us as well. I was hoping to get Herm a limit of keeper eyes for him to take back home today. Surely the three of us would be able to get it done!

This was another of those windless days that were supposed to be 10 to 20km from the SW, but they lied! There was virtually zero movement anywhere and the water drop made it even worse. I had my work cut out for me for sure!

A deep water smallie bite put some good fish in the boat before heading to a walleye spot. I decided quickly that the floats were going to come out again but this time I had to use the electric motor to be able to move. In the end, we managed to catch plenty of walleye both oversized and legal that Herm was able to fill his limit. There were also several good smallies landed as well.

This two day trip was something that Herm needed as it had been a couple of years since he casted a line. He was officially going home with fish for dinner! Great fishing and great friends! He may even return for another kick at the can before this year is done!

Herm was finally back after a lengthy time not fishing. It was over two years since he wet a line in Canada and he was in for a treat. We were going to see if we could get him a limit of walleye and of course some bass!

Our first spot was absolutely windless and this made for a terrible drift. We did manage to pick up 3 walleye and a smallie but it was tough. Although I was marking fish, they just didn’t seem to want to bite. Between the full moon period and water level dropping almost 2 feet, it made for tough fishing in this area.

We made a move and switched locations, hoping for better action. We were now casting the drop shot and managed to pick up one more walleye from this area, giving Herm a total of 4 for the day. We also tried some deep water dropshotting and landed several good smallies in the process.

A little wind started to happen in the early afternoon and I thought we’d give another place a try. To my surprise, it was very light there and movement was at a minimum. I was actually forced to change techniques completely and go to a presentation that was geared to dead water drifting. I broke out the float rods and it was game on! For the remainder of the day, we consistently landed oversized walleye and bass until it was time to go. We also brought to net two more good keepers completing his 6 fish limit for the day!

Although it may have been a little slower than expected today, we were able to adjust to the conditions and finish with a bang. Sometimes a very small change can make all the difference and today it showed. We are back out again tomorrow and hoping for a little more wind, but if not I know just what to do! Better fishing ahead!

Another day of hateful NE winds and today they were bigger than usual! My key areas were not even fishable and I had to bring Richard to alternate spots instead. He still managed to catch plenty of bass but the average size was smaller than I have been used to seeing lately. At one point we even went shallow and managed to get into some better fish there too. Overall a tough day but still quite productive!

Shamlan invited 3 of his friends fishing this afternoon making it a full boat! I was faced with similar conditions like yesterday, but with bigger NE winds. Add to that the cold front that arrived overnight and I knew exactly what I had to do. We were going deep once again!

We made the best of the half day trip by making multiple deep drifts, dropshotting over the abyss. It was a little difficult at first as a couple of them hadn’t fished before but eventually they caught on and everybody landed bass. Some of them were real quality once again and made for some great pics too!

It looks like the conditions won’t improve anytime soon and I will be back out again tomorrow in more hateful NE winds. Oh yeah, a cold front overnight will be adding to the misery as well making it another deep water day!

A morning trip with two couples proved to be a successful bass fishing outing for all! Darren, Phil, Wendy & Lori all managed to catch decent smallies. Some of them were even quality! The SE winds made it a little tough to get a proper presentation in deep water, but I somehow made it work. Four rods in is always a challenge when I can’t drift properly! Eventually the winds died completely making it a scorcher towards the end of the morning. Sure glad we only had a half day scheduled!
