Hi folks Well the season continues forward. The past couple of weeks has been some tough fishing. While we’re still catching fish, it’s not always the target species that comes out on top. With the up-and-down weather, the bite has gone up and down, and at times you just have to go with what the [...]
Hi folks Well the past week showed us a different front every day and it seems to be raining all the time. Combine this type of weather with the bug hatch and it made for a tough week. So far this week we have seen a little better weather, although the rain still seems to [...]
Wow, I haven’t said this for a long time… We are in a cool rainy cycle. I know it’s not what the visitor to the northwoods wants to hear but we need it BAD. Myself and a few other guides were sitting around Great Outdoors Sports Shop a few days ago and we were commenting [...]
Hi folks From Long-Johns to shorts in the same day … We started the morning at 31 and ended at 72 degrees — make sure you bring the full gamut of your wardrobe, along with rain gear when heading up north. Combine this with the now-hatching mayflies we’ve seen the past few days and fishing [...]
the last two outings are perfect examples of having to be flexible and not falling in love with one presentation. two nights ago i fished a small 20 acre lake which has some nice bass in it. it is deep and very clear with not many weeds. the surface [...]
I’ve been fishing quit a bit over the past few days and the basics of northwoods fishing are evident on every lake I have been on. Sometimes it’s just not complicated, especially at this time of year. Here we go.
Basic #1 – Find GREEN weed beds, 7-10′, next to deeper water. Fish right in those [...]
Hi folks
The hot weather continues and the hot bite right along with it. EVERYTHING’s biting right now – it’s that time of year. WALLEYES are putting on a heck of a weed bite; CRAPPIES have pulled in the beds; BASS are making their nests and NORTHERNS are rampaging. Gosh, what a wonderful life – I [...]
I am still amazed at how many people still don’t get it. FISH THE WIND BLOWN SHORES! “Dewey” took me fishing for my birthday last night and we saw the same thing over and over. Boats parked on shorelines out of the winds. And it wasn’t even that windy. The [...]
Hi folks WOW – as bad as the weather has been at the beginning of the season, is as nice as it has been this past week. Temperatures have soared to the 80 degree mark, and not a breath of wind to be had. In 48 hours I went from wearing 7 layers of clothing [...]
After the Blackhawks took care of business in San Jose yesterday afternoon I decided to take a couple of hours and see if I could boat a Northern or two on a spinner bait. Well I did see tons of fish…because it was so calm I could see the bottom in five feet. Saw plenty [...]
