It was a pleasure meeting my Korean, Vietnam Veterans, other veterans and first responders and taking them fishing. We had a great time and live bait rigging and drop shots produced all of our fish using Daiichi Bleeding Bait circle hooks with suckers and Octopus hooks for drop shots has been the best this year.

Walleye season is fast approaching and we can't wait to get a lot of Walleye in Lake Geneva.

Had a lot of fun with my son and Dale on Tuesday. A terrible storm came thru the night before and we still caught fish.
