Jim,
I just wanted to finally take a minute (long overdue testimonial by the way) to thank you for an incredible day of smallmouth fishing on lake Mille Lacs. For the day we caught between 35 and 45 fish with the majority of the fish being in the 17.5 to 20 inch range. During this trip I had caught a 5 pound 13 ounce giant, which at the time had been my personal best.
Since this time I now have upgraded my personal best to 6 pounds 3 ounces and this is what has prompted me to finally draft this testimonial of thanks. Although our trip was a great day of catching it was as much if not more a great day of learning. When we started the trip I asked if you would share your insight and knowledge as it relates to smallmouth and their patterns over the course of the year e.g. bait types, water temp and depth, seasonal patterns etc. and that you did. It would have taken me 2 years of on the water trial and error to learn what I learned in that one day of fishing with you. Anyone looking to book a trip and participate in both learning and catching will be well suited with your services, you’re an excellent guide and teacher.
See you on the water,
