Mississippi river pool 11 walleye report
Waking up Sunday morning the first thing accomplished was a wind check. A morning walleye trip was scheduled with a long time friend and I wasn't sure if I felt like getting the daylights kicked out of me as I did on Saturday.
Saturday was a day of frustration; raw, howling north winds made ...
Mississippi River Walleye Fishing Report 11-09-08
The water temps on the ol’ Miss have plummeted in to the upper 40’s in short order over the past couple of days. The last day I was on the water was Friday the 7th. This was the first day the colder weather had set in with air temps dropping almost 30 degrees over night. Needless to say, the wal...
Lake Wisconsin Late Fall Sauger Fishing Report
Late fall walleye & sauger fishing can be pretty hard on a fisherman if they are not dressed properly for it. Saturday morning we endured strong westerly winds that tried to discourage us by blowing lite snow mixed with rain around us as we fished. The afternoon wasn't much better but at lea...

Mississippi river pool 11 walleyes
When a person thinks of Halloween it's usually thoughts of dark, blustery skies with cold, windy temps. Not this year!
Friday brought on a rare fall day indeed with warm temps and glassy waters. Not the most productive type of conditions for chasing wingdam walleyes but a guy just has to suffer...
Lake Wisconsin Fall Walleyes & Saugers
The fall Lake Wisconsin walleye/sauger fishing season was in full swing this past weekend. We saw a couple walleyes over 28" caught in boats near us and many more saugers over 20" long. It's becoming quite common to land anywhere from one to four or more saugers over 20 inches, plus having an ex...
Mississippi River Walleye Fishing Report 10-27-08
In this report I will cover my time on the water since October 15th. A couple of weeks ago I shared my boat with Troy Halverson and his dad Al. The goal for the day was to try and stir up some bigger walleye. The bite had been very inconsistent for me while pursuing bigger fish, but on this day...
Mississippi River - Pool 2 Walleye Late Oct. 2008
It has been more than a couple months since I've been able to get out on the Mississippi River so it was a treat to have the opportunity to hit pool 2 a couple times in the last week, once with Micah Witham and this past friday with Steve DeZurik. Although my fishing partners changed from one t...

The magic water temp. nears and the fall bite is in full force. With the days getting shorter it's hard to split time between field and water.The good things is, you can find plenty of action in a short time. I spent the morning getting the dogs a good workout chasing birds. By noon I was on...
Mille Lacs fall walleye trolling update, 10.25.08
October will soon turn into November, and the first snows are in the air. While thoughts of deer and ditch chickens occupy the thoughts of many outdoorsmen as the wind blows the last of the leaves from the trees, let us not forget the shallow water walleye bounty present in Mille Lacs. They're s...
Lake of The Woods Fishing
On a whim a couple buddies and I hooked the boat up and headed north for a couple days of fishing LOW. This time of the year the shiners can be thick in the river. To our suprise when we got there, there wasn't as many as I had expected.
We spent the first trolling the weed edges of the riv...
Lake Wisconsin Mid-Fall Sauger Fishing report
Fall sauger & walleye fishing is just starting to get under way here on Lake Wisconsin. The best bite is still several weeks away but a guy or gal can still do pretty good by using techniques that cover lots of water. Trolling crankbaits was the ticket for my boat this past Sunday. My wi...

After a long absence from the river, I made it down for a 4 day weekend this past week. My week was spent pre-fishing, and knocking the rust off for the Saugerama that was held on saturday. It was great meeting new people this weekend, along with seeing old friends, and sharing my boat with Dean...
Fall walleye trolling report 10/14/08
My time on the water has been very limited (like almost zero) since adding a little boy to our family earlier this summer, but I just had to make it to Mille Lacs for the fall trolling bite this year! I’m glad I found time and took advantage of a beautiful night on the water on Tuesday the 14th...
