Fishiing the Long Sou

[Guest Manitoubass]

Well, it's time to hop in the boat and start searching for the hyyyyuge fall walleyes. Today we are heading up the Rainy River in search of a few new spots we have mapped out, should be alot of fun!

 

It's 0 degrees outside with a steady 15kmh wind from the west. Last few days we've had lots of rain and bad weather, so I figure today is gonna be a perfect day.

 

Plan is to jig some minnows at the start, find the bites, then throw/troll some Rapala DT 10's.

 

I'll be back this evening with some pics and a report

 

Wish us luck, today is the first day in the search of the 15lb walleye

Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing what you get.

love big waleye

[Guest Manitoubass]

just got back from round one, and the mommas are biting! I lost the biggest eye I've ever seen in person, lol, right at the fackin boat two. It was an easy 15lbs, if not a lil' more.

 

So, we came in for a bite to eat, then out we go again to see if we can find that lunker.

 

also caught 5-6 around 27-29", not monsters, but beautiful fish

Also, if any locals decide they want to go out, dont use a small boat, and wear your life jackets! 6ft waves, not fun in a 17ft with a 20 horse johnson

also i was gonna say something about the above post but i've matured a bit in the last few months

[Guest Manitoubass]

this is what a 15lb walleye on your line looks like! (hahaha, a true tease)

[Rod Caster]

If that's the small one....let me guess, there's actually a worm harness at the end of that anchor rope?

[Guest Manitoubass]

quick tip, salted tubes rigged on jig heads

[Rod Caster]

Gahhhhhh. Where's that 15 pounder?

[mercman]
