I always forget something! if its not a stringer its the pliers, if its not the pliers its my fishing rods...believe me i have almost driven off without the boat and trailer before! Yeah...well its dead off my dock after a promising start. Just thought i'd let you know that my last video was the lake we got hideously stuck in the slush. Walleye certainly biting there and not too far from your place eh? I admit i fish more than i should....chores tend to pile up. The 3 minute journey acroos the open section of lake to my shore with the lightening was not so fun....but yeah...it was great to catch a few different species in one spot. LOL...i'm not drinking anything, thats my buddy Scott holding a can of Dr. Pepper

Hi all. Well here goes. Finally the stars aligned and all conditions were perfect to repay my buddy Cliff with some epic fishing after him treating me to his secret lake. We started off fishing for walleye in the spot we hit a few days before when we were sheltering from the wind....the walleye were there again. We moved when someone moved in on our spot. This gave us a chance for Cliff to try some downrigging for trout as he'd never fished this method before. We set up, he had a 'Bad Boyz' in silver purple and I had Williams half/half. We were not getting any hits and were just telling stories. I was telling the story of the time I took my mum and dad out downrigging and had the clip set to strong so it did not release when the fish hit and we had dragged a couple of trout around for a half hour. After about an hour I said the wind had died down so we should try straight jigging as we had had nothing in an hour and a bit of trolling. We stopped the boat, grabbed a rod each and yanked hard to release the line from the clip. As soon as I did mine I knew I had a fish on.....Cliff never having used downriggers before took a bit longer to realise he had a fish on too...DOUBLE HEADER! Funny how I’d just finished the story about dragging fish around. I think I need new clips! Anyway we called it a day with downriggers and went to a spot I ice fish which was the calmest spot on the lake, anchored up and set up Cliff';s X67C on the trolling motor transducer and mine just running off my regular transom mount 'ducer. Basically like ice fishing watching your jig and fish on screen. Cliff was a natural and all but 2 of about 15 the of the trout we hooked went to him ....they would come in and look at my lure then make a B-line straight to Cliff's. Lots of little trout around today....healthy lake I guess. I had set Cliff's line up the way I do it so we had same lure, line, and flouro leader.....HELL...we even have the same Walmart combo rod and reels! Funny how that happens some days. I was not upset that Cliff was catching all the fish, I was just stoked that he finally got to try straight jigging trout after me telling lots of stories about it. Cliff also caught the most lake trout he has ever had in one session....nothing huge but Cliff was having a ball....that's all that mattered to me. Cliff even admitted he did not quite believe me about this method, but was a convert now!...........AND IT GETS BETTER!!!!!!! After about an hour of straight jigging trout we had both our limits of trout and got them in the cooler as I still had the debt to repay to Cliff of the awesome walleye slaying session he treated me too a week or so before. We headed to my honey hole and things were not looking good. I will usually see the fish on the finder as I triangulate my spot from marks on the shore. Not today. However as soon as we dropped a line I had a fish on, it was hugging so close to the bottom my finder did not pick it up even though it was right under the boat(I watched a featureless horizontal bottom line turn into an aggressively fast moving, vertical, BIG fish signal attacking my jig signal on the finder). After that it was nonstop 22" - 29" fish for 2 hours we stayed. We only stayed 2 hours because......boy this sounds bad....it was almost getting boring catching them....no challenge whatsoever...mindless slaughter of huge walleye. DEBT REPAYED......Cliff also got his personal best and almost broke into the 30"er club! To be truthful it was not boredom that made us move....but the bite was slowing down and we wanted to see if we could catch some keepers! I had been told where the keepers were so we tried half heartedly in that spot for 20 minutes, but I think we were both fished out.....when I suggested we head back Cliff agreed right away. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DAY....... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/C8rQrwCXXDY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The day after being completely stranded by lighning and flash tornado like winds Cliff and I headed out to one of my good walleye lakes. We did try for some lakers but not five minutes after getting out on the lake the wind started to pick up and we had to find shelter....just so happens the shelter we found had some fish! WINDY DAY WALLEYE <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ewy4HI8rRWo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> 3 FOOT SWELLS EVEN OUT OF THE GALE FORCE WINDS BUT WE MANAGED A FEW FISH AND I HAD CLIFF EAGER TO TRY AGAIN WHEN CONDITIONS WERE MORE FISHING FRIENDLY TIGHT LIBES ALL!

Hi all, Got out the other day and the mother of all storms had us stranded a couple of times as we took shelter from the tempest. We also managed a few fish before the weather hit. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8XlCp7-bZNM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Hi all, Had a couple of relaxed sessions for a couple hours a piece last week. One trip with member Havtaflyfish and one with Havtaflyfish and my buddy Cliff. First off..... the events with Havtaflyfishnd myself PIKE ARE NUTS! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mLE5J8e9ZZw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> next day after work it was onto another local pond... A PEACEFULL EVENING TOO <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ctH7CYMaRG4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> warm up sessions!

Hi all, After some pretty terrible weather conditions over the last couple of weeks i finally kept my promise to Jack to take him to his favourite lake...he loves this lake...its actually the one where he caught his first fish last year. Not much to say other than what a nice way to end a day for everyone...especially since mum was at work, Jack had to be at the sitters while i was being prodded with sharp needles in the shoulder, just nice to all meet up and relax outside. FAMILY OUTINGS ARE JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/RHC25sdHDWA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> MY FAVOURITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD HE HAS HAD HIS STICK FOR OVER A MONTH NOW AND ALWAYS BRINGS IT TO 'PADDLE' WHEN WE GET OUT IN THE BOAT LOL.....BY THE LOOKS ON THE FACES IT WAS A STRESSFUL,LONG DAY FISHING IS SERIOUS AND THIRSTY WORK! THE MOOD LIGHTENED AS THE SKY GREW DARK Another wonderful evening on the lake,

Hi all, Went out for a late afternoon walleye session after some morning chores. My wife and son went for a nap instead and were going to meet me at the lake later on. Got into a small trout first cast...and another couple small ones before i got my 'keeper' size ones....straight jigging minnows in 60+ FOW. Also managed a couple of trout in 22'FOW with surface temps at 70+F while targetting walleye???? Anyway...went and got my wife and son at the dock...headed back out so i could try to catch another walleye...got trout instead. Jack is really gaining confidence in the boat now and seems to really enjoy it out on the water. My wife brought me a less than healthy but very well received take away supper....AWESOME GIRL! Then we packed up the boat and headed to a nearby creek at Jack's request as he loves the waterfall there. We were surprised to still see the suckers running there...but neat to watch....for me anyway....Jack was more interested in throwing sticks in....lol. LATE AFTERNOON TROUT AND WALLEYE <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/f9pnkjgAYN0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> LOTS OF SMALL ONES GOT SOME KEEPER ONES TOO GOT ONE NICE WALLEYE....ABOUT 27" PICKED THE WIFE AND JACK UP AT THE LANDING, SUPPER IN THE BOAT,A FEW MORE FISH AND A VISIT TO THE CREEK Best way to spend an evening in my book anyway. Tight lines all!

Hi All. Got out to a local lake for some walleye action....we were not disappointed.My buddy cliff had been buggin' to get me into this lake....like i need any persuading...so with time off...we went in, jigs and minnows and spinners did the damage. Fishfly hatch in full bloom here at the moment and we found all the fish on flat muddy areas...i am assuming thats where the larvae hatch from, cuz the ones we filleted were stuffed full of fishly larvae. We ended keeping only three as we had no measuring device with us so we were only confident that one of the fish we had was under 18" (limit 4 fish only one over 18 per person zone 5). I did get a nice 30"er to add a 1/2 inch to team 5's 29.5" entry...... We laid the fish on the wooden seat, with the tourney sign.....made notches in the wood at head and tail....an measred when we got back...lol...one way to do it...and Cliff has a permanent reminder in his 14' tinny that he still has to get a 30"er!!!!! He came very close yesterday...but thats another report altogether. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/o2LV6Bepdps" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Very grateful to Cliff for sharing his secret lake with me...what an awesome afternoon of walleye fishing.

Hi all, I've had some time off work and spent my time with family and friends and of course lots of fishing. In fact i have 7 or 8 reports to post....so i’ll get started with last weekend’s fishfry. WE TOOK JACK TO SEE THE OLD LUMBER TUGBOAT IN THE MORNING, HE'D BEEN BUGGING TO GO SEE IT FOR WEEKS! THEN I HEADED OUT TO GET SOME FISH FOR A FISHFRY THE NEXT DAY <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jHQUutXcCl8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> WITH ENOUGH FISH FOR THE NEXT DAYS FISFRY I HEADED HOME AND WATCHED THE SUN GO DOWN IN THE BOAT WITH MY PUP The next morning my wife's uncle and my good fishing buddy Cliff and his daughter came to help build the swing set we bought for Jack. Thanks you everyone for the suggestions/advice given for a GPS choice when i asked a month ago, but i spent my hard saved cash on the swingset and sacrificed the Garmin....I spoil that child! Anyway, for my hotspots i pretty much have them memorized better than any hard drive....and use the rock/tree/rocky point triangulation method! NEXT YEAR! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_f9IIRdl_N8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> MY WIFE'S UNCLE HARD AT WORK, CLIFF WAS ALSO PRETTY HANDY TO HAVE AROUND. JACK HELPED TOO, BUT SPENT MOST OF THE TIME PLAYING WITH CLIFF'S DAUGHTER FOR ONCE I FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS AND DID AN INVENTORY THE NIGHT BEFORE, BUT THERE WERE SO MANY SEPERATE PIECES PROGRESS THE FIRST DAY WAS SLOW BUT STEADY WE ALSO FOUND THE PERFECT SHADED SPOT BEHIND THE HAMMOCK AND CLEARED THE AREA OF OVERHANGING TREELIMBS. THAT EVENING CLIFF, HIS WIFE AND 4 KIDS AND MY NEW BUDDY SCOTT JOINED MY WIFE AND ME FOR A FISHFRY. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Cgb9nPJQkpY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> FOOD AND COMPANY WAS GREAT....KIDS HAD FUN TOO AFTER THE FOOD AND CHATTER WE HELD A MINI FISH DERBY, AND DESPITE KEEPING THE KIDS ENTERTAINED WITH A CRAYFISH HUNT, CLIFF FINALLY JOINED IN AND WON BRAGGING RIGHTS WITH 2 FISH! I GOT ONE, AND SCOTT GOT THE WOODEN SPOON. AFTER A BRIEF AND PRIZELESS DERBY, AN UNPLANNED CASTING CLINIC WAS HELD FOR THE KIDS BEFORE EVERYONE HEADED HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS UP AT 5AM SO I COULD ORGANIZE ALL THE PIECES OF THE SWINGSET ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTION SEQUENCE. SOME OF THE MORE TECHNICALLY GIFTED MAY BE THINKING..."SO WHAT!"...BUT IF YOU ARE LIKE ME AND PRETTY USELESS AT ANYTHING MORE TECHNICAL THAN SCREWING IN A LIGHT BULB......DEFINITELY WORTH THE HOUR SPENT DOING SO AS CONSTRUCTION TO NEAR COMPLETION TOOK UNDER 3 HOURS ONCE WE STARTED.... JACK LOVES IT!!!! WELL WORTH NO GPS! AFTER NAP AND SUPPER THE WHOLE CLAN WENT DOWN THE LAWN FOR AN EVENING CRAYFISH HUNT/ FISH/RELAX SESSION...BEAUTIFUL EVENING BY THE LAKE! Great start to the weekend and the next few days saw some excellent fishing too...... reports to follow....but its 6:42am on Friday morning and i am going fishing in an hour for lakers and walleye. More reports to follow. Tight lines all.

Hi all, After a long, dreary, wet and windy day nursing the mother of all trapped nerves in my neck i had to get out....Jack had been bugging to leave the house all day too. We headed to a sheltered lake i know for an hour shore fishing and some fresh, albeit cold and wet, air. Nice way to end the day. Dont know what was with my camera settings tonight...but the pictures sucked...you get the idea though. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kQDM3-AjBjc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
