manitoubass2 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Nice fish and awsome pics, sucks about the sturgeon though... Thank you, and yeah, I know, that really bummed me out. We have so many here, but its important for them to be protected. I like catching them, don't get me wrong, but they MUST be released, and respected. Here is a few more pics... November 17th walleye, very cold fishing, lol The ghetto ice fishing trip. No sleds, no power auger, no real sled, haha, nothig stops me from fishing when I have the itch to go Right by our ice fishing shack, there is a hill. So I shoveled it off and packed it so the kids could slide if they got bored. I should also mention the 3 ft jump I built them! lol All the kids came for some fun sliding while daddy fished The shack Good eaters like this, all day long. My god I love Rainy River!!!

Twocoda Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 livin the life man ....great report ! Your efforts are much appreciated but i tend to disagree with the "easy 500 buck " comment ...it would have ONLY been easy if the fish was caught on your very first cast of your very first fishing trip...its nice fishing gave you a bonus to all the quality time you have spent with your family... Cheers and Nice Shootin to you ALL!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unattended and tied up... I don't get it. Are they 100% c & r in you area? Yes, they are 100% c&r here. I think what happened was someone was poaching, and they were either spooked off or they were taking a break??? Anyhow, me and the girlfriend walked to the rapids to take some nature pics/prego photos and we discovered them. So we cut hem loose and tried to revive them. It didnt work out so well, they were upside down in only a few inches of water, and it was out of the current, so the water was real warm and dirty. I got them all to swim away eventually, after like an hour of trying, but the next day 3 of them were washed up on shore. Such a bummer. They were all pretty good size too, they were all probably 40 years old Edited March 27, 2011 by manitoubass2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted March 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Man that's some beautiful walleyes and from the shore too Sounds like Rainy river is the place to be to catch walleyes Thanks for sharing Leechman Many thanks Leechman. I'll get around to posting some off shore pics soon as well. Yep, Rainy River is a great fishery, the walleye fishing has to be experienced to believe how good it actually is. It's great for smallmouth, sturgeon, pike and musky as well. If you come here targeting eyes though, its gotta be spring, fall or winter though, its not very good in the summer. I'm heading out again today, I'll try and get some more good pics. It's -4, sunny and zero wind, perfect day for walleye fishing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) nice eyes, but the sturgeons are a bummer. i have a connection to sturgeon after netting, tagging, and tracking them for a few years as a fisheries student. the large sturgeons are typically the female and their eggs can net over 100 dollars an ounce, possibly more on the black market. i've heard of local aboriginal groups harvesting them as well.

Joey Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) Great report and pics. Some really nice pickerel there. Too bad about the sturgeon, but at least you tried. Whoever did that should be strung up and put in a few inches of standing water Edited March 27, 2011 by Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Buckets of walleyes! Me and 4 others fished the sand bar for two hours, all these fish were pulled out of 2-3 ft of water, no structure at all Waiting on baitfish. There were millions of walleye fry here, they were soooo thick. Guess pelicans love walleyes too For 5 years old, this son of mine can fish! Dummy hooked lamprey, so gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
