Robert and his son Micah were with me this afternoon. He also brought his sister and brother in law, all the way from Germany! Conditions weren’t perfect but at least we had a wind for a decent drift. It’s always hard when there are 4 people fishing, so drifting works best!

Plenty of bass & walleye were landed in the 4.5 hours that they were out and several good keepers were taken home, for their dinner tonight. Although it may have been hot and sunny, the breeze made it quite bearable. Another great day for fishing!

Len & his son Eli were with me this morning and I was glad it was only a half day. We were not going to see any wind the entire time out and hot was the word for the day! We literally fried in the heat as they fished through extreme conditions. Plenty of chances were had and several fish were landed throughout the morning. Walleye, bass and a nice bonus pike came aboard before we were done. Probably the best part was the run back as we finally had a breeze! I can’t wait to get into the air conditioning!

Mark & his son Jason were with me today and hoping to get into some big fish. I wasn’t going to disappoint them! Mark came right out of the gate, landing the biggest smallie of his life! They were both used to catching much smaller fish from their lake up north and this was a real treat. Walleye & bass were taken from our first area before I had to move, due to a lack of wind. The fish were showing but not really taking much anymore and it was time to relocate.

We spent the balance of the day out deep, dropshotting over all kinds of bass. Many quality ones were landed along with a few more eyes before we were done. They cut it a bit short with the heat and no wind and I didn’t complain. I was hot too!

Overall the day was a big success with both of them landing many fish with a couple of new techniques. The best part about today was that they managed to catch fish so much bigger than they usually do up north. I know they’ll be back looking for more!

I had to install something on the trailer today so Christiane & I took advantage of the boat being on the water. We fished for about 3 hours or so and managed to get several good ones. Both walleye & bass were landed and a few of the better walleye were harvested for dinner tonight. Multi-tasking at its finest!

Another hot, flat, sunny day on the water! Although I don’t like the giant winds I sure do like the 1 to foot chop, when I can get it. Add to that the reduced flow in water and there was virtually no movement at all. We spent a good part of the day fishing deep in these conditions and boated plenty of fish. Although the bigger ones were few & far between, the numbers made up for it! We did hit a few shallower areas later in the afternoon and managed to get into some good ones before calling it a day. I’m hoping for a little wind in the coming days in order to get my drift back! Only time will tell!
