Another mixed bag day with Max & Valerie today. Sturgeon & bass were the targeted species and they had a blast! Although it was a scorcher of a day with little to no wind, we still managed to get into the fish pretty good. The bass were mostly on soft plastics and the highlight of the day had to be the last hour or so of fishing. A storm front was approaching and the bass went nuts. Max was in his glory hammering them on a blade while Valerie caught them on a crankbait & soft plastics. Great way to spend your birthday, Valerie!

I wanted to get back out for more of those sturgeon today so seeing as how I had no clients, Christiane & I hit the water again. We anchored up & were able to land 5 nice fish and had a few mishaps on several others. Damn these things pull hard! Another short but productive outing!

I hit the water again today with Christiane and mixed it up a bit. Sturgeon, bass & walleye were all landed and a couple of the walleye came home for dinner. Another great outing and we only fished for 4 hours!

Tony, Richard & Gaston never expected what today was about to bring and couldn’t have imagined it in their wildest dreams! After an unsuccessful hunt for the elusive « Holy Grail » lunge, we decided to attempt another beast. This one proved to be more cooperative however and they all landed monsters. Thank god for cooperative fish!

Jonathan & his son Jackson were with me this afternoon for another heat wave. I had plenty of time to prep the boat before they arrived and made sure the Bimini top was erected! Temps were about 90 degrees with absolutely zero wind. It was going to be a scorcher! They hadn’t really fished before so I decided to troll under the shade of the top. We managed to get smallies, pike & some walleye before breaking for another dip in the lake. I had mentioned this to them over the phone and they were all prepared for it. Later in the afternoon after the refreshing swim I decided to check some open water areas and found some walleye schooled . By drop shotting they were able to add several more fish to the day before heading out. I know Jackson wanted to eat his catch but their family had other plans organized. I guess they will just have to come back for another trip next year to enjoy their « Catch of The Day »!
