I saw a couple of articles this past week referring to the latest announcement by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources that efforts to stop the spread of invasive species on Minnesota lakes will now shift further away from education and more heavily toward enforcement. What this means exactly is the subject of a bit [...]

As the fishing season turns to fall patterns, the Walleyepalooza updates have been few and far between. However, Turtle River WalleyeGuy added another over to his basket with the nice 24 inch walleye you see to the left. As I write this he is preparing for a day on Turtle River Lake here in the [...]
The Minnesota walleye opener is just a couple of weeks away and we want to get it started off on the right foot with our first gear giveaway of the year. One of the most critical components of your gear preparation is making sure you have fresh, quality line on your reel. To help with [...]
After a week of some odd weather, including tornados, torrential rain and a beautiful sunny weekend we headed out for a night of fishing league not sure what mood the fish would be in. We drew a lake that we fished a week or so before, and on that night we managed to find a [...]
What a fun week. Between rainstorms… heck, even during rainstorms, we managed to get out all but a couple of nights over the last week+. League night was probably the worst for rain, otherwise we had a great mix of fishing. After league night, my wife and son took the boat out on the big [...]
We’ve had about one day of sunshine so far this June. We’ve gotten rain of some kind every night that we have fished this month, and Tuesday was no different. After 5 straight nights of walleye fishing on a few area lakes, we felt ready for the night and were happy to find out the [...]
We watched the weigh-in for a local fishing tournament this afternoon and saw some pretty nice 5 fish limits come in. The winners had just over 16 pounds of walleye. Big fish for the day was 5.5 pounds. As you might imagine, my son and I got home with an itch to do some walleye [...]
We fished Friday night just to get out with some friends for a fishing night. There was a pretty good wind and we managed to find some walleyes on top of the big mid-lake flat. Small walleyes… but walleyes nonetheless. So when we pulled the lake for league Tuesday night I figured we had a [...]
Not much to say about this big walleye. The boy hauled it in last night using a leech on a Lindy Rig in 20 feet. She measured out at 28 inches. After returning it safely to the water he boated a 23 and a 19, both put back in the lake. His mother pulled in [...]
When the lake for this week was announced as a “surprise” at the bait shop, the news was met with a whole bunch of grumbling and complaining. This lake had been dubbed the “Dead Sea” for a few years for its notorious lack of walleye action, and a few of the guys in the league [...]
