Hi all, Got out for some walleye yesterday afternoon, not much happened for 3 hours until a brief window of opportunity opened as the sun hit the tree line, beautiful sunny day, only around -3C and despite a fairly stiff wind I was well sheltered on my chosen spot. Bite lasted 20 minutes or so before it switched off ass quickly as it started.

You should! Be a 💥. I’ll get you on fish if it kills me… lol

This whole tungsten thing is a new thing for me this year, I’ve tried with whole minnows, minnow head and plastics, to be honest they’re like any other bait I use, sometimes they’ll munch a Smokey on a rope and some days doesn’t matter what you throw at them, they’re being picky.

There are some nice ones up here for sure, I guide all summer long here, and all the guys from the US say they get numbers down there but not numbers and the size we have here.

Pfffft… whatever… lol. nice going Brian, whitefish are a blast! Tasty too!

Have you eaten crappie? I like them essay more than walleye. Crazy weather seems to be the norm now.

Managed to squeeze in another short session, glad I did, we had fish Tacos for supper. Some nice size ones too, which made up for not getting my limit.

You’re not the only one.

mic drop….awesome.

That would be too easy.

Hi all, We went to one of my favourite walleye lakes, I especially like it as it’s a nice skidoo ride right from the house. We decided before we left to try a spot my buddy had fished in the boat this past summer as our usual go to spots had been kind of slow as of late. We also thought we’d try a morning bite instead of the usual sundown bite. Things were slow at first but at 9:30am someone flicked the switch to ‘Bite’ and for 45 minutes it was game on, good fun, good company with some decent size fish.

Almost just steamed fish.

Right on! Yeah, whitefish works good because it’s firm like you say. Now you’ve given me a reason to keep pike…disgusting creatures… lol

Hey Shag, absolutely allowed to keep whitefish, but I had more than enough for a feed of walleye. I hate freezing fish if I don’t have to and that would have been the case with my work schedule, does that make sense? I sometimes keep them as my neighbour puts them in his smoker and we go halves, but he’s a snowbird and ain’t around till April. I also like to make a fish soup with whitefish…here’s my recipe……

Couldn’t resist.

TERRY AND BRIAN

Winter is here. Actually winter has been here for nearly a month, it’s just taken me a while to catch up to it, getting older I guess. The lakes started locking up Nov 15th give or take a few days and we headed out over the weekend and found 6” of clear black ice with just a few inches of snow cover on a favourite local walleye spot. Fished for a couple hours from 1 pm , leaving before sunset with 15 or so fish between the three of us. Many of the fish released as they were over 18” , only one fish over 18” per person allowed in a limit of 4. Anyway, enough reciting the Zone 5 regs……..

Yup , a broken old .410 I was given 8 years ago. My son has a .22

I fish all those lakes (except LOTW) and it’s the first time I’ve heard it, but love it!

We are having a regular Fall season this year, some warm days and some cooler. Despite the ridiculously wet spring the grouse are numerous. I finally got out the last week to shoot a few, took a rod along too to shore fish. my son took his Hunter’s and Firearms course this spring and we got out for the first time yesterday. He’s a very good fisherman but just not really into it, he loves hunting though. He’s using a .22 I got for him for his Birthday, neither of us are used to it yet, and while we managed 5 shots at birds yesterday we alas ended up birdless, but he loved it and is pumped to go again. Can’t wait for him to get his first bird!

“Too busy to pull out the camera”….. best days!

Lol, all good, appreciate the input, helps to confirm.

Thanks Lew!
