A Much Better Trip for Dion, Sabrina, and Mike This Time! (June 9th)
by Capt Juls on 06/10/13The last time I fished with these three it was a rainy and cold day in April. Dion and Sabrina had forgotten their rain gear at home in Michigan, but insisted on continuing with the trip. Mike Mink offered Sabrina his rain jacket, which she put on, and Dion wore a wind breaker jacket over his sweat suit. They were soaked and shivering by the end of the trip.
Yesterday was a much better trip for them. I immediately set a course from Mazurik's to the Canadian line where I was the day before. The program would be the same too. (See the June 8th blog for info).
We weren't even done setting all the lines out when the first fish hit and ended up in the livewell. All three were very excited now. And, it continued....we would have two of the three limits in the box within the first two hours of the day, and in the first pass.
As we neared Lucy's Point, we decided to bring all the lines in and head back East to make another pass and fill the last person's limit. This time, the fish decided to take a break and didn't bite. We caught two fish in that entire second pass and lost a couple of light biters. Of course, the sheephead never come off and Dion managed to catch a big fatty that got his adrenaline pumping, thinking he had a huge walleye on. That made for some great laughter and teasing for the rest of the day. :)
The winds were picking up by noon, so when we finished the second pass out by the line, I decided to head back over to North Bay to make a NE to SW trolling pass for the last hour of their trip. We caught one more walleye and two more sheephead to finish out the day. .
We ended up with 14 walleye and three happy customers, so I would consider that a successful day on the water.
We talked about the perch fishing and Sabrina said she had never done it, so we are planning a perch trip in the near future. I love perch fishing,....probably more than walleye fishing, so I'm definitely looking forward to that trip!
Good luck to everyone that is in town to fish the National Walleye Tour this week. The weather looks great for a fun tournament. :)
