Hi all, What an awesome day. Started waaaaay early and was on the lake as the sun poked up over the horizon at 5:15am. 3 nice walleye and a bunch of lakers later i was back in time to prepare for an afternoon fishfry by the lake. Fun, family, fish,friends,fire pits, food and fireworks . Did i mention it was an awesome day? Literally first jig down and a massive arch heaved itself off bottom and slammed my jig (4"minnows). Took pictures, reloaded so to speak and same thing again, but it spat the hook, about 10 minutes later another nice walleye. The walleye bite died off and i got a few trout, then another walleye. Tried a spot i know for a bass with no luck. All the fish were in 14'-17'FOW, water temps varied between 42-46 degreesF. Got home, got supper ready and some friends dropped by with their dogs ( Roloffs's sister) for a fishfry. Jack and Payton say they are getting married…..I approve…she's a real sweetheart and they got along famously! IT WAS ACTUALLY HOT TODAY……SUMMER!!!!!!!! Woodsmoke, fish slime, cut grass , gasoline, 2 stroke oil, bug dope,….lol….the scent of summer for me! SOME PICS OF A MOST EXCELLENT DAY!

AWESOME! Some really nice fish. I will be hitting up Erie this July, hope to emulate some of that. Looking good there G-Man.

LOL…he had the glint in his eye to get me on more than one occasion, had to lay down the law though, don't want him randomly aiming pressure washers at things….he'd send the cat flying a couple hundred yards with that thing!

Hi all, Getting the boat cleaned out after a long winter has never been so fun.

Its been an odd weather year up here, so most of the fish are not where they normally are this time of the month. Maybe that has something to do with it but i'm not sure of the weather conditions where you live.

Getting a few walleye showing up in the bay now. Some have spawned some not….weird year for sure. I have never seen the water so high since i've lived here, its up on the lawn!

Sorry for your loss. I can empathize with the pain of driving to the vet. They are part of the family, never a more loyal friend to be found in my opinion.

Went to lake with family, got some fish, looked under rocks, dog swam and fishfry for supper tomorrow night. Awesome afternoon. Fish were done spawning at this lake, none of the males caught, be it Jack fish, walleye or perch were making a mess…all done!

Thats awesome….what happened though….your kid lost his face!

Hi all, really felt like spring yesterday. Still some ice on the lake but it will be gone by the end of the week for sure, if not sooner. Wet a line with Jack last night after work….BLISS! Had some marshmallows and a few fireworks. Fishing was sloooooow, without a hint of a walleye but i got a nice 34" pike and a fat, ready to burst perch.

Ice wont be gone by opener, but Roloff wasted no time getting wet as soon as the gap at shore appeared. Nice to see the sun at last too. That aint going to last though, clouds, rain and minus temps at night again for much of this week. I am going to buy a few dozen minnows on Friday though, should be able to cast from shore.

Thanks Joey, Yup…you can still walk on it if you can get to it, Roloff has the right technique, he was showing us today.

Thats awesome B….makes my day!

That is pretty cool. Just wondering though, are the paid for maps more detailed? I'm looking at a section of Lac Seul that i fish, none of the structure i know is there is marked, the map gives very basic and general depths for the area. Tried zooming right in….NADA! The area has some relatively large and defined reefs and drop offs.

Hi all, I have been making ice out update videos every other day and got up at the break of day and got some pics of a stunning sunrise, got some awesome new screensaver material this morning for sure!

COOL.

01:57……………….."sometimes you lose sight of the outside world". EXACTAMUNDO!

Happy birthday amigo…..have a GREAT DAY!

If you get a calm day, do like ice fishing, anchor up and use your sonar.

I thought the same thing….excellent one for the fish camp.

LOL…and the camera!!!!

Hi all, Just a quick update on the ice conditions up here in Dryden on Lake Wabigoon. Went down to the lake this evening (Thursday 1st May) to check the conditions. There was 2'4" of ice off my skidoo tracks. Some areas were one foot of water with one foot of clear ice. Its gonna be close this year….i'm not too sure it will all be gone in 2 weeks. Here is the video and pics i took out front this evening.
