Love your reports Ryan. 1st Avery, now the wee lad.....you got quite the team for an Angler Young Angler Tourney right there. Lol....i was beginning to think Avery was not only a very accomplished angler, but a really good photographer too untill i realised grandma was in the boat too!

Awesome report! Looks quite choppy out there, i would be swimming with the fishes if i tried to perch at the back/front of a canoe for a picture like you did. I can only admire your catches as i have only ever been 'humbled' on 4 seperate occasions ( 3 times on the ice, once in a boat). Great read on a Monday morning. Thanks Doc.

great PICS!

unbelievable! congrats on the 100th , thats an amazing amount of musky. Still loving the underwater shots.

What about asking one of the bass fishermen on OFC to get out with you on your next trip? Man...if there were more members up here i would be bugging the hell out of them to take me out and show me some tricks! If i was you i'd ask for a member near you to come out with you

Thats amazing...would love to see that link.

Had to laugh Dan, many a trip out has seen my buddies and me trying to get walleye in the boat before the head shake that tosses the minnow, then the frantic scramble to grab the minnow before it sinks...running out of bait sucks when the bite is on! BTW...what is the limit for perch....dont know many who target them up here.

Great job Eric, I think the 1st one looks bigger than 36" too.

Hi all, Got out with a couple of guys i know. Both fish tournaments(walleye) regularly as a team so was nice to be asked to come along in their boat. We have all fished this lake before although not together, so finding fish was not an issue, holding on them when we did find them was tricky though back trolling with a 9hp with 40-50kmh gusts, but hey...fall fishing is where its at for walleye and those conditions are the norm....suck it up...lol. This Lake seems to be go deep or go home except for mid summer, i fished it on the ice last winter and fishing 50'+ was the key most days. We got our limit although time was an issue as we spent the first hour and a half trying to row back to shore in high winds with one paddle after the motor cut out, we ended up dismantling the gas tank to find the fuel hose had detached from the valve on the tank and was sitting at the bottom of the tank. Jigs and large minnows and suckers was the bait, fish holding to drop offs from 20 to 40' and on the flats in 40' to 48'. Not my best video ever, but in a small 12' boat with three biggish guys in high winds made filming difficult, but the action was fast and furious, rob and I tied for first place with fish both at 23". We did end up keeping our 1 over slot per person simply because we were running out of time to keep all under slot which is something i normally do, and turns out the boys practice to . Here's some vid and pics of our little expedition which i will be repeating on Monday hopefully.

WOW, phenomenal musky fishing, good job! Thanks for posting.

Stunning pictures , waterfalls and horse shots my favs...keep 'em coming.

Great pics Kwan, keep 'em coming and welcome aboard.

so many lakes up here...just more than 4hrs from the dirt and grime of T.O

Hey Ben!....good to hear from ya again.. Guess we'll be treated to a summer summary post from you soon right? Cant wait. I dont keep the big ones, i dont fish Lac Seul for supper as a rule......but if supper fish are biting.........BONUS! Ok ..................i'll go back Jacques...........just for you... Not all were on the big suckers MJL. I like to have the big baits with me though this time of year, its like Ben said...........they are fattening up for a long cold winter... OK........OK...LOL...........i'll go back I had to laugh when i was stitching the video together, i did not realise i caught the 'rod snap' moment, i have that reaction frequently..... I hear ya on the evening bite, we were thinking the same thing on the way back that day... Always fun fishing LS......but it was slow compared to usual...

Stunning report as usual T! Fantastic pics...

Great report and pics Cliff, congrats on a nice looking largie... Classic middle finger pose...lol. Looks like fun...thanks for posting...

i'd recommend the terrova..................12v 55# is what i have and pushes my 16' fine.......but in strong winds it can be a pain..........if i was buying again i would go 24v and up the thrust to 70 or 80.... If you can afford it get the universal sonar..........transducer in the motor head unit works great, and the auto pilot is a must for me but the new 'i-pilot' looks awesome! No.....i dont work for Minn Kota...........i'm just very pleased with the product i got, although some folk swear by Motorguide...

LMAO........good one

Great read Splash. Chill down my spine (good chill) when i got to the bit about the eagle and your friends presence, i lost a dear friend to cancer 10 years ago and often sense her watching me when i'm alone out on the water in quieter moments, strangely comforting...

Awesome Ryan!.......like a few others said.............."dad Get him" comment = priceless!

CONGRATS FOR THE WIN AND THE PB!

Great win Cudzy, 'hooters Family Restaurant'....

Hi all, headed out at stoopid o'clock to do a last fling outing for the year to Lac Seul. It was a tough days fishing by lac Seul standards, The biggest walleye being around 22". I've found it hard to find the big ones there this year although the abundance of 17"ers is good for eating if not the waistline. My only problem with yesterdays fishing is that i wanted to go out with a bang on LS this year....now i'm tempted to head back there "one last time" to see if i can get into some of the bigger walleye. Mind you, fishing deep even makes the small ones punt a decent bend in your rod! EVEN SMALL ONES FISHED DEEP PUT A NICE ARCH ON THE POLE The biggest fish we had all day was not in deep water but on a sandbar, and it fell to a 6" sucker minnow on an 'oddball' jig. The fish seemed scattered today, you'd pick off a couple at each spot before hey seemed to dissappear. There were other people camped at the landing and they were saying they were experiencing the same thing out there. It was freekin' cold and windy most of the day which probably added to the feeling it was a slow day, but i would do it all again if i had the time...love fishing Lac Seul! BIGGEST OF THE DAY....WENT BACK IN HERE'S SOME VIDEO FROM THE DAY <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhD20j-FE3s?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhD20j-FE3s?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhD20j-FE3s?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

Yeah..thought the mnr should know as i have never heard of anyone...even die hard local fishermen catching largies on the wabigoon chain....i am suspicious about how it got there, but thats another thread altogether...lol. Glad you responded Bushy....cuz i know you know the lake well, and your reply backs up what i'm saying...even long time goon fishermen find it surprising. That would be cool...i have still to ice a bass...largemouth or smallie. Thanks TB4me, More walleye action to follow tomorrow evening....headed up to lac seul with six dozen sucker minnows...should be awesome...wont sleep much tonite....lol. Thanks Jacques, Ive caught largies before on Erie, just not up here, and especially on a lake where they are unheard of...strange and cool all in one me thinks.

Hey all, Well i had quite the surprise on Monday fishing in a small lake connected to the main Wabigoon Lake. I have fished this lake for bass (smallmouth) for 3 years now, some sessions producing 50+ smallies, but had never caught a largemouth before until this Monday. I headed out armed with some nightcrawlers to try for bass. I chose nightcrawlers just to use something different from my usual topwater/mepps/jig attacks on my chosen quarry. Literally first cast produced a bass, which i only realised was a largy when i lip gripped it and thought...holy ....this smallmouth has a strangley big mouth....well duh...thats cuz its a LARGEMOUTH! My surprise in catching the LMB is due to the fact that i have caught 100s of bass here...but never a largemouth. I have never even heard of Lmbs in that lake....i called the MNR biologists and they were surprised too...pretty cool really...i think so anyway. The rest of the 3 hour morning session was spent trying crawlers on spinners for a bit and a couple more walleye on jigs an minnows. Water temperatures have dropped 10 degrees already...however the walleye have been predominantly in the cabbage and still remain there despite the weed dying off slowly now.
