ShareThe end of the 2011 walleye league has arrived. On Thursday night 8 boats hit the water to decide the 2011 champ once and for all. This evening we had a little twist in the selection of the lake. Every team wrote down their preferred lake for the night and tossed it in the hat. [...]
ShareI’m just going to go ahead and declare August “Walleye Month”. Put it on your calendar and see if you can get a day off. We started the month in Escanaba, Michigan fishing the Cabela’s NTC tournament. The night we got back we hit Lake Irving to do a little pre-fishing before our last night [...]
Share A busy week has slowed long enough for me to catch up on my writing. We just returned from our trip to Escanaba, Michigan and a great time on Little Bay de Noc. I will have more about that in a future post. But walleye fishing league has reached the final weeks and another [...]
ShareThe definition of insanity, according to Albert Einstein, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. We spent two nights fishing Lake Beltrami last week. I was actually by myself one night and spent a little time searching for fish and testing a couple of different presentations with no success [...]
ShareOur brief streak of good fortune came to a screeching halt this past week with a less-than-stellar performance during week 9 of walleye fishing league. This week was “mystery week” which basically meant every team put a lake name in the hat and the lake drawn would be the lake we fished. And the lucky [...]
Share Rarely do we have such long stretches without fishing during the summer. We had a great Fourth of July break in Kansas. My grandmother passed during the week and so I spent a day in Minneapolis with family that I haven’t seen for years. Then Junior and I tried to get out on Friday [...]
Share Tuesday afternoon was calm and sunny. Easily the nicest night of the year. While calm and sunny skies don’t usually bode well for walleye fishing, nobody was complaining at Taber’s after the bath we got last week. To top things off, we pulled Lake Julia for the night. One of my favorite lakes for [...]
ShareAfter watching the finish of a couple of big weekends of fishing up here in the North country, we were ready to head out on Tuesday for some walleye action. With the weather threatening again, we rolled up to Taber’s Bait and learned that the lake for the night would be Big Turtle. I can’t [...]
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 [...]
Share While I would love to be reporting that the fish to the right was caught Tuesday evening during league, the fact is that wind gusts in the 40s and lake wind advisories forced us to scrap league for the evening. I can’t say that I’m too disappointed as the thought of my kidneys taking [...]
