ShareNothing comes as close to that “little kid before Christmas” feeling like the anticipation before the fishing opener. For those of you in states where there is no closed walleye season… sorry… you’re missing out. Nothing hones your appreciation for the sport like being off the wagon for a few weeks. So thousands of Minnesota [...]
ShareI’ve written before about the spring spectacle of the Rainy River walleye run, but it’s hard to imagine this subject getting old for anyone who loves hammering big walleyes… lots of big walleyes. As I mentioned last week we made the run earlier in the year, but had the unfortunate luck of hitting it the [...]
ShareAnother great season has come to a close. October is typically not a big fishing month for me here in Northern Minnesota, but the unseasonably warm weather gave us a few opportunities to get out on the water for some great fall fishing. We managed to get some great action pulling crankbaits in shallow water [...]
ShareFor those who follow the various walleye fishing tournament tours it will come as no surprise that Tom Keenan captured his second FLW Walleye Angler of the Year honor recently with his fifth place finish on Lake Oahe. I had the opportunity to present Tom with a few questions and he was kind enough to [...]
Share Tuesday was an all-day soaker. The rain started over the weekend but Tuesday was just your basic pouring, all-day-long rain.

Share Although we’ve had some odd weather swings in the last week including a nasty wind that forced us to cancel league last week, Tuesday evening turned out to be a great evening for some fishing. We rolled in to Taber’s Bait to find that the lake for the night would be Wolf Lake, the [...]

ShareThe walleye fishing season officially closes on inland Minnesota lakes on the last weekend in February. For most walleye anglers, this leaves an agonizing 75 day gap in the walleye fishing schedule. Fortunately, there are some options for those who wish to make a drive to one of a few fisheries that lay on state [...]
ShareThose who follow tournament walleye fishing have certainly heard the name Pete Harsh. He has been at it since 1983 and since that time has amassed several tournament wins and the prestigious 2008 FLW Walleye Angler of the Year. He recently joined Team Evinrude and I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to [...]
ShareLook at this pile of stuff. And it’s not even scratching the surface! Jigs, crankbaits, rods, slip bobbers, the works. I don’t even want to know what I’ve spent on this stuff, because it’s irrelevant. We use all of it at one time or another. The real curse is that we continue to plot ways [...]
