limeyangler Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Hi all, Got my new PB walleye yesterday. I finished nightshift and headed out to my favourite in town spot. Started out with a few small lakers for tomorrow’s lunch then headed off to seek some monster walleye..... they came out to play! I had to move once as some bozo thought it was ok to slowly make his way over within 30 feet of my bow when we were the only 2 boats on the lake (I don’t get that at all ) , but the magic number seemed to be 30'FOW and I soon found another spot and had a fish on again. All fish came on a jig and minnow, trout in 70'FOW suspended at 40'FOW, walleyes on the flats near to the deeper water at 30'FOW. Got about 10 walleye in all, not one under 24" with one at 30'+ inches and my new PB by .25" at a not too shabby 32.5"! Great 4 hours on the water! VIDEO OF THE AFTERNOON'S ACTION <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aNFNK5DUP7A" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Getting 10lb+ walleye on very light tackle with nothing more than a 3/8 Oz jig is addictive, might just have to sneak back there this afternoon. Tight lines all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bob Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Limer.......VERY nice fish.......on the flats you say....they could be moving to those fall transition areas where mud meets rock and none or not much change in depth...this has been a good pattern for me for years on inland lakes in the fall....but it's still a hot summer pattern down here.

Jds63 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Awesome Simon, always love watching your videos ... always wondered how you have your camera mounted to the fishing rod ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manitoubass2 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Awesome Simon, always love watching your videos ... always wondered how you have your camera mounted to the fishing rod ? It would boggle your mind! When I had the pleasure of fishing Rainy with Simon, he was literally holding the camera in place with his hand holding the rod! Not sure if hes since upgraded? But yeah, I was shocked to see how well he filmed these videos while landing fish! Plus its a sweet angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never understand this either. Thanks for sharing the video, it was a nice way to end the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Those are world class walleye by anybody's standards, Simon. Congrats to you, you certainly put in the time. Thanks for sharing your story, pics and video. They're great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spincast Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 (edited) Nice shooting Simon ! Congrats on the PB (but I still think you're a witch - you have to be charm those beauties day after day ). Must have been the graveyard shift was it? either that or the midnight sun still shines bright?

limeyangler Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 That's a beast Simon, many congrats! Thanks ! HECK YES!!! Id be back there every morning and evening!!! Way to go on the PB I went back last night....bit of a wash out by comparison...a 27" and a 25" for the 2 guests i had in the boat while i had to settle for a 16" and a 6"! Limer.......VERY nice fish.......on the flats you say....they could be moving to those fall transition areas where mud meets rock and none or not much change in depth...this has been a good pattern for me for years on inland lakes in the fall....but it's still a hot summer pattern down here. Its been a cold August after a unusually hot, dry summer but despite the whacky weather they are pretty much where they were last year on this lake. Awesome! Thanks...it was a memorable session for sure. Absolute MONSTER!!! Way to go and congrats!!!! Thanks Cliff! Nice! They look like they grow up fast in that lake. Good looking fish. I doubt they do grow fast...its pretty cold up here so they grow slow....i will say this though...they aint growing fast but they eat well! man o man! Beauty fish! Gonna be tough to beat that PB, so yeah, get out there again today and start trying! Yup, next bechmark is to beat 33".....might be a while, but i'll just soldier on...its a tough job but somebody has to do it. Wow.... Now thats some great fishing! Huge eyes man!! TDunn Thanks man! Awesome Simon, always love watching your videos ... always wondered how you have your camera mounted to the fishing rod ? It would boggle your mind! When I had the pleasure of fishing Rainy with Simon, he was literally holding the camera in place with his hand holding the rod! Not sure if hes since upgraded?

limeyangler Posted August 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Now that's a HOG! Way to go! Thanks RG...i was a little bit panicked not to lose it when i saw the size of it at the surface....lol. I had to move once as some bozo thought it was ok to slowly make his way over within 30 feet of my bow when we were the only 2 boats on the lake (I don’t get that at all ) , but the magic number seemed to be 30'FOW and I soon found another spot and had a fish on again. I'll never understand this either. Thanks for sharing the video, it was a nice way to end the week! Awesome way to end the week....the bozo was lucky my buddy Cliff was not with me....he fires large musky lures at encroaching boats! Those are world class walleye by anybody's standards, Simon. Congrats to you, you certainly put in the time. Thanks for sharing your story, pics and video. They're great! Thanks Roy.....definitely glad i have pics and vids of this for wheni'm older to share around the campfire on my hologram device! Awesome congrats on a wicked night simon Thanks Mike.....i see you have been doing pretty good too on LSC! Nice shooting Simon ! Congrats on the PB (but I still think you're a witch - you have to be charm those beauties day after day ). Must have been the graveyard shift was it? either that or the midnight sun still shines bright? (edited for spelling) It was after nightshift.....got out out at around 10am, LOL...witch...i'd be in big trouble if you accused me of that 400 years ago! Why do all yer posts have bragging rights Great job Simon and congrats. Thanks Brian....i am just a lucky so and so to live where i do. Now that's a fist full o' walleye! LOL...thanks JT. This is an awesome photo. I love the detail and the colours. It would make a great background. Thanks VT...it is my desktop background as of last night. Congrats on the PB Simon!!!!! Thanks Paul!
