welcome to the site

Welcome to the site

love winter...bring on the ice...but we still have fall walleye fishing before....win win situation. Nice picture though.

If i was closer i'd have been there!

Went to a lake close to my house for an evening walleye bite.....3 hours total time spent getting in and out...about an hour and a half fishing. <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kj-nN3yqZXQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Thats insane Cliff!!! Those bass are freeks!

Hi All, went to our local provincial Park the other day. This is a deep lake that holds Lakers too, i usually catch at least 4 or 5 lakers when jigging in the boat in summer, but the trout have been few and far between this year. However, i have been catching walleye like never before....and like most walleye from deep trout lakes....they are big! I had caught some really nice walleye in a spot there 2 weeks before and decided to give it another shot....see if it was just chance or i'd stumbled onto something. After 2 hours of seeing walleye on the bottom not responding to anything i put in front of them i wandered off in search a trout.... LOL....and caught a walleye in 56' FOW! I headed back to the original spot and not long after the bite turned on. I think i got around 6 or 7 walleye none under 22" with a real pig and this year's PB for me at 28". <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pb1wnA-jNac" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

LOL...i know what you mean Joey...and i live here! Awesome as per usual Ben...hope to catch up with you on BiG Sandy for some whities after your busy season is done.

LOL...errrm....yes. In fact i fished that lake on the ice before i ever did in a boat....lets just say i did not know much about fishing then.....let alone ice fishing. I started at the point where it is only 3 feet deep...and thick weeds even in winter. I am surprised we even caught the 2 perch we did that day!

Thanks for all the replies guys. You make a point i often wonder about Terry. I know there are some pretty phenomenal 'fly-in' destinations, but sometimes i find myself checking out fly-in websites and reports and cant help feeling a little sorry for the guests paying what they did for what they got....fishing wise. I get the whole wilderness experience thing, and having a lake all to yourself....still...sometimes i wonder.

Thats awesome! Thanks Drifter...wicked vids...love the second one.

Got out again with my new fishing buddy Cliff. This time to a very small local 'pond'. Cliff was doubtful of the venue choice given that it's so small, practically in town with easy access. I too was sceptical about this lake when it was introduced to me 4 years ago....lol....and after Cliff got his second fish not 10 minutes after we started which measured 26" those doubts faded. We started off with walleye spinners and minnows. I had hammered bronze blade and Cliff had a psychedelic day glow perch pattern blade...he got the big fish...nuff said. When we switched to jigs I was using minnows and leeches, he was using minnows with a chunk of night crawler, I got most of the fish when we were jigging, minnows seemed to be king, however, the last fish caught was a beauty 27" which again went to Cliff....it fell for a piece of night crawler Cliff had put on to try and catch a few of the numerous big perch we were catching. The fish were in the 11' to 12'FOW range, in or around the tall cabbage. The lake probably averages around 8' deep with one spot that gets to around 18' deep. Cliff has fixed the starter on his ATV and we should be hitting up a more remote lake on Monday...till then here's some pics and video of last night's fishing. <iframe width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ST5e5qjqCJY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Great report JB! I'm still wiping tears from laughing at your "very serious and slightly scary' pic of you holding up that smb.

No kidding Blair, this weekeend going camping with the wife and kid...should get out in the boat a couple times at least.

I'll never forget the time i was visiting Canada and I saw a guy walking out to his car at 6:30am in his pjs through the snow to his car to be told he was going to get coffee. what the hell! i thought, just make some at home?!?! I was told that he was doing this because 'Tim Horton's' coffee was just soooooooo good. I did not even know what tim hortons was....lol. What makes me laugh is that i've put folgers in the machine at work and told all the timmies freaks that its timmies...they loved it! I know thats kind of mean but i never told them and what you dont know wont hurt you too bad. I also think McDs is better coffee than Tims, hope they dont trick me back....lol...but to be honest i would not really care.

Disgusting

wait for the ice...job done!

awesome Dana, i still have one of those in the garage...it came with my boat. It will mark fish......sometimes....it will definitely mark schools of bait, and is as good as many modern fishfinders for structure. I love the playback feature,,,stop the screen and playback a few seconds of what just passed, wish i had that on my x67c!

First off i dont think you should look at this as a bait v lure situation. I think creating a dichotomyis not useful. To me bait is bait be it a living organism or a piece of painted metal. There is skill involved with most bait presentations and also times when certain baits will work better for certain conditions or species....for example...musky mike makes a good point about using live suckers later in the year for musky. Practice and experimentation and time.....you will evolve your fishing techniques and skills repetoire this way gauranteed. 3 years ago i never fished the weeds for walleye...now i do.....3 years ago i caught lakers through the ice on large sucker minnows left to dangle....now i almost exclusively jig 4" white tube jigs...... 5 years ago i NEVER EVEN KNEW WHAT A WALLEYE WAS....LOL. Keep doing what your doing...you'll do just fine. Someone mentioned getting a 'mepps aglia'....I WOULD ALSO RECOMMEND THIS!
