Alan called me over 10 years ago and said his grandson Aidan was visiting and he would like to take him fishing. It has developed into an awesome friendship and tradition since Aidan, now 17, was only 7 years old. Aidan lives in CA and this shy little boy has turned into a mature man with a respectful attitude which really causes me a sleepless night before the charter. I so look forward to seeing this awesome pair and being included in their yearly visit. This year they met me at the dock and this 6’1″ man showed up with his grandpa Alan who hasn’t changed much over the past 10 years. Alan is a gentle man that seems to really enjoy life and especially this precious time with Aidan. We headed out and set up in the area I have been fishing for the past 6 weeks. The fishing had been slow after three bug hatches in a row but not this day. The walleye were aggressive. We had 2 to 3 rods going off constantly and had their limit and a couple bonus walleyes while pulling rods. Alan and Aiden both said it was just an awesome day and walleye was on the menu for dinner. Better to be lucky and blessed than good.
