Steve did everything he could do to put us on fish. He had really good gear that was easy to use for my son who had never used a bait caster before.
It was fun fishing with you and your son.ย Your son took to the bait caster right away.ย You both had good presentations of baits for fish buried in the weeds.ย You both casted well enough to catch a fish.ย It was a very tough bite this morning.
It was good to see Father and Son getting to fish together.ย With the lakes being cold you and your dad adapted to a slower retrieve to match the conditions! It was nice to see the numbers of Northern.ย My only regret is the second lake being warmer but with a cold bite.
My husband and I took our 8 year old daughter out on Captain Steveโs boat. She wanted to catch fish that she could eat. He was considerate to take us on a lake that had easy access to a restroom and the types of fish she was looking for. We werenโt catching many keepers, but we did catch a lot of fish and enough keepers for a meal. Steve was very kind and patient with our daughter, helping her bait her hook and cast and giving her tips. We all had an awesome time.
For her age Elsie really had a soft touch which is needed to catch fish.ย The lake wasnโt showing itโs best fish when we were out but it did provide a meal.
We had a great experience on our 1/2 day fishing trip with Mike.ย He was ready for us with the boat in the water when we arrived at the meeting point.ย He had bait and poles ready for us!ย We caught bass at each spot he brought us and caught some small walleye and a northern.ย Our girls were excited to catch fish and Mike was fun and kept us entertained with fun facts and interesting history of the area!ย We will definitely use Mike again when we return next time!!
It was fun fishing with your family.ย Everyone worked together changing spots in the boat.ย It was fun listening to the kidding during the rivalry of fishing.ย Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip.
