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 [...]
Tomorrow 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 [...]
This 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, [...]
Another 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 [...]
For 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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve mentioned a few times in this blog that we were given the opportunity to participate in the Cabela’s National Team Championship walleye tournament on Little Bay de Noc this year. We finally made the trek at the beginning of the month and it did not disappoint. Our first tournament was a great deal of [...]
The 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. [...]
As 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 [...]
I 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 [...]
