rufus

Thanks guys! I am just getting the hang of the camera but for something that fits in the shirt pocket it seems to be pretty good.

I had the chance to do some walleye fishing last weekend and tried out my new Creative Vado pocket video camera - mounted as a dash cam. Monday's video is inspired by limeyangler - as a result of watching his videos I can't get the phrase "supper fish" out of my head!

Beauties - great pics!

Looks like a white bass to me. They are usually scrappy fellows and fun to catch.

I use 6 lb test when drop shotting and do not tie the line. I sometimes have to adjust the opening as it it is often squeezed too tight (depending on the brand of weights) so that it will actually cut the line if the weights are used as-is right out of the package.

What a great introduction to fishing for Jack! I smiled and laughed through the whole video:clapping:

What a great way to get rid of the craving for a smoke - looks like you were kept too busy to even think about it.

Nice mess of Walleye and some beauty pike! Looks like you had a blast

Nice video! You have a pretty good wide angle lens on your camera - what are you using?

Great report! Looks like a fun trip and some really nice catches too

Trying top water Muskie fishing is definitely now on my to-do list this summer! Great fish - congrats

Your bow man wasn't much for paddling but looked like he was great company:D

Great pike - congrats! Nice report:thumbsup_anim:

Great fish!

A good feed indeed

I agree - the slot limits have really helped the Walleye fishery in the system. There has been a loss of habitat over the last decade or so however as deep weed beds have all disappeared due to reduced water clarity from algae. Some areas that used to hold fish are now barren.

Beauty!

Muriel Lake used to be legendary decades ago. My parents honeymooned there and my dad often talked about the huge fish in Muriel Lake. I dreamed of going there some day! By the time I got to fish there the big ones were pretty scarce but can still be found a very short boat ride away!

I fished Dorothy a few times as a kid visiting a neighbours cottage. The favorite "Pickerel" lure in those days was a yellow Helin's Flatfish with red spots. In those days they had 4 treble hooks on them so we didn't lose too many fish

I believe it was on Thursday they reduced the flow from the Norman Dam which dropped the level almost immediately. Further reductions are planned so things may be different by the time you get there

58 degrees for the most part. Some areas were 60 degrees.

Tell me about it - 130 litres of premium last week - buy your gas in Winnipeg as it is about 20 cents cheaper than Kenora right now!

I got out fishing on the Winnipeg River north of Kenora for a few days last week with a friend whom I first went fishing with over 40 years ago. We had a great time! The Walleye fishing was terrific. We caught walleye as shallow as three feet and as deep as 40 feet and all levels in between. Most productive was the 25 to 30 foot level at the bottom of points and rock piles. Fishing was good below the Norman Dam by Perch Bay but we did venture as far north as The Dalles. Boat control in the current and wind, fighting fish, and snags kept me too busy to take videos or pictures although we did get a picture of the first fish caught. Pike and smallie fishing was slower than usual. The average size of the pike was smaller than usual which was quite concerning as it was actually the smallest average size I have ever seen. Since lots of small pike means fewer big pike have been eating them - I suspect that catching big pike will be a rare event this year. Also concerning to me was the first algae bloom of the season. The water level dropped a few inches while we were there and exposed the shoreline rocks coated in green. A decade ago there was no such thing as algae blooms but in recent years they have become common beginning later in July. This year's early bloom is not a good sign.

I watched the video last night and bought a Bondy Bait today. You should get a commission

I enjoyed your report and your videos - looks like you had a great time!
