manitoubass2 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Well, this time me and my daughter headed down to the river for a shore fish. The conditions changes drastically since yesterday. The sun was out, zero wind, the water levels dropped about 14" and the water was as clear as I've ever seen it. Basically, it didn't look very promising... We rigged up a few shakey heads like yesterday, and see if the fish would smash it yet again. When we arrived, one boat was near bye. We asked them how there luck was? No fish he said, guess they were live bait fishing on jigs. They went on trolling away, and I casted. Cast one, nothing. Cast two, BAAAAMMMM!, oh yeah, grab the net!!!! Another good smack of the shakey head worm. Fought the fish for a few minutes, then my daughter calmly netted the fish head first. High fives!!! and picture time, a true Rainy River beast!!! Cast about 3 more times, same thing! Just simply shaking that jig off bottom in the current seams. Man these fish are absolutely hammering this bait! This one is CHUNKYYYY! Again, my daughter does a great net job! Again, all it takes is another cast.... I'll never get sick of this I'm thinking, lol. Into the net she goes... One more cast, another one. A little smaller, but still a great fish! Man were getting spoiled when 23" walleye are small, lol Now we switched it up to see if the Livetarget Golden shiner would work. About five casts after jigging this guy off bottom, BAAAAMMMM! Yet again, so much fun! goofing around.... Look at the teeth on this momma!!! Another beautiful day with my daughter! This is really something to remember these past two days! Thank you Uncle! These fish are for you!!!!!!
Roy Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Wow, another fantastic outing! Thanks for sharing.
Joeytier Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Beautiful fish. Isn't it awesome when a new pattern comes together?
danc Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 It doesn't get much better than that. Fantastic. There's a couple of guys on my job site in Dryden that spent last weekend there with similar results. They also boated a 54" Sturgeon. What an amazing fishery you have there. Great post.
manitoubass2 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 Beautiful fish. Isn't it awesome when a new pattern comes together? Thank you, and yes! Anyone else ever heard of shakey heading walleye???? I haven't, but I'm simply amazed how well it works (at least right now). I've just recently enjoyed bass style spinnerbaits for walleye, and that works very well and is a ton of fun, but this shakey head worm combo is kinda ridiculous...

Cool, I've seen some boats that aren't local. Good for them for coming to enjoy the fishery! If you ever plan to come this way, let me know! Always nice to meet a board member and get some fishing in

manitoubass2 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks. Offer extended from here as well. Very kind of you. I'll be up there to pre fish for Dryden Walleye Masters. If we can't get together to fish we should certainly grab a beer, or some food. Wow...I'm seriously jealous. lol, I'm still kinda in shock myself

manitoubass2 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks alot guys, glad you enjoyed the report/pictures! Yesterday was just one of them days. Everything was saying it shouldn't be that good of a day. Water temps dropped back down to 40 degrees, water levels dropped a good 14", water clarity was insanely clear for a large river, it was perfectly sunny and the was no wind???? But I'll take it, hahaha. I got two more kicks at the can, shore fishing this evening and out in the boat tomorrow with my old man. Hopefully the next report will be half as good
ccmtcanada Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Wow!! On a day that didn't look like it was going to be productive and you had a banner day!! Some awesome fish there...congrats all around!
Leecher Posted April 12, 2012 Report Posted April 12, 2012 Your extremely lucky to be able to catch quality fish like that from shore and close to home Great job MB I will also add... having your kids partake in your fishing expeditions... PRICELESS Thanks for sharing Leechman
manitoubass2 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 looks kinda boring to me sooooo boring! It really sucked being woken up every 3 minutes by another hyyyyugge walleye. can't even get a quality rest down there anymore
