Finally got out with my friend Mark, who runs Advanced Bassin plus fishing guide service. Figured it would be a nice way to end my summer fishing season, and I decided to bring my son Zev along for the action.
After a short boat ride from the launch, we hit Mark's first spot for walleye. Sure enough, Zev had his first walleye of trip onboard within a few minutes.
After a couple more drifts, Zev hooked in to a much better fish. With some expert coaching from Mark, Zev landed his new PB. This 28 inch beauty was in the 7 lbs range, so we set her free in good shape after a few quick pics.
Over the next hour or so, we landed some more keeper sized walleyes and a small bass.
On the final drift of that spot, Zev hooked into another nice fish, this time it was a solid pike in the 30 inch range.
We then switched spots, in order to target smallmouth bass. Using a super slow drop shot presentation, the three of us each landed some decent bass, and missed a few more.
Nice football shaped fish!
After a while, head headed back to attempt drift fishing for walleye and bass, but the wind had picked up, and was no gusting in the 30 km/h range. All we managed, was a small perch I landed just before calling it a day.
All in all, another great day on the water with Mark, who did a spectacular job coaching Zev all day, as it was his first real experience focusing on the drop shot technique he learned.
Mark still has many available dates this fall, which also happens to be prime time for bigger fish, as they start feeding heavily before the winter.
