WalleyePalooza Derby

2011 Walleyepalooza Champion Crowned

ShareTomorrow marks the start of the Minnesota firearms deer opener and the end of the 2011 Walleyepalooza online walleye derby. I’d like to thank everyone that submitted their photos for the derby. I enjoyed seeing some pretty nice fish pictures hit the inbox every week. I hope the rest of you sitting on the fence [...]

Walleyepalooza Winding Down

ShareThis is classic Minnesota stuff right here. Less than two weeks away from the Minnesota firearms deer hunting opener and we’ve got guys still out on the water hunting for the big girls. It isn’t unusual to have a crust of ice on ponds and small lakes by this time of year, but the beautiful, [...]

Walleyepalooza Update

ShareAs 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 [...]

August Walleye Derby Update

ShareAs busy as August has been, I only have two WalleyePalooza updates to bring you for the month. “Hang Loose” had a little time before school started up to snap jig the beast to the left out of the water on one of his favorite local lakes. “Northwoods” also made a trek back to the [...]

Things That Go “Thump” In The Night

ShareI love fishing at night. For some odd reason we just haven’t gotten out on Bemidji after dark more than a couple of times this year, but that is going to change after league is over. On the other hand, our friend over in Grand Rapids spent an unbelievable night on Pokegama absolutely pounding the [...]

Walleye Derby Update – More Upgrades, New Contestant

Share As we pass through mid-summer the walleye fishing is shifting into different patterns. Our derby leader “Hang Loose” bumped up his total with a couple of nice upgrades during the night shift on Lake Pokegama. He wasn’t kidding when he told me early in the season that there were some beasts in that lake. [...]

Mid Summer Walleye Fishing Slows Down – Derby Update

ShareYes, I have been away for a while. A trip to Kansas, a funeral, delays caused by sabotage to trailer wheels and a thunderstorm all conspired to keep us off the water for two weeks. But those are long stories for other days. During my absence I received some mixed reports on the quality of [...]

Quiet Week for the Walleye Derby

ShareWalleye fishing slowed a bit in my neck of the woods this weekend partially due to some unpleasant weather, and partially due to a few projects that needed to get done. TurtleRiverWalleyeGuy put in a few hours last week on the water and pulled the walleye you see to the left out of Gull Lake… [...]

Walleye Derby – More Massive Walleyes

ShareThe hogs just keep piling up as we enter the summer months of the walleye fishing season. I have to confess… when I started this I wasn’t sure if we could fairly compare the typical “big” walleyes from this part of the country to some of the giants that get pulled out of the Great [...]

Walleye Derby – Monster Week

ShareWell, it was quite a week for walleye fishing up here in the North country this past week. The National Guard FLW Walleye tour hit a scorching hot Leech Lake with Kevin Carstensen taking home the championship with a three day total of 41 pounds 11 ounces. At the same time, the Kraus Anderson Walleye [...]
