I am very fortunate to have Tom, my brother-in-law, who is always willing to accompany me on whatever adventure I come up with. When I told him I wanted to run up to Banks Lake and shoot a video on catching whitefish, he just said “sure”. I told him we would hit a couple of the spots that I knew that people fished for whitefish, and that I would have the bait and everything. Also, I said that after we got a bunch of whitefish, we would go bass fishing, which he loves. Well, plan A didn’t go so well. I drove over to the bay in Devils Lake, where I always see a bunch boats fishing, and didn’t see hardly any fish on my screen. We fished for a while and then ran all the way up the top end and fished by the inlet. Still no fish. So, we switched to bass fishing and tried some of our favorite areas and got nothing. So much for plan B. Plan C was pulling cranks below Rosebush. Same results. Well, Tom said, it was calmest day he had ever seen on Banks. It was a beautiful day.
