Wind or Calm, The Walleyes Just Don't Stop on LOW
Yesterday I had the opportunity to take out Jerry and Linda Pagel from New Ulm, MN, and the morning bite was awful tough. The high winds we have received finally put a little damper on the fishing, but I want to state that we’re still catching fish. A bad day on Lake of the Woods is a fisherma...
Crankin Night Walleye in Alexandria!
The shallow trolling bite in Alexandria has been getting better by the day. Over the past week we've been catching good numbers of 13"-18" walleye, along with some very fat picture fish showing up in the mix. I'm still having my best luck on rocky stretches with scattered weeds in...
Longville, MN Area Fishing Report
Our annual vacation to the Longville, MN area wasn’t anything as expected. After two years of getting cold, rain, and overall nasty weather, we were greeted with highs in the mid to upper 70’s, and some very calm and wind-less weather. Too wind-less. Being a fisherman or a farmer, there’s alw...

Lake of the Woods, The Perfect Fishermans Paradise
Today as I opened the door to walk outside I was met with a great gust of wind, which sent a chill down my spine. This is the first time that I can remember this summer that the temperature has really dropped to fall type temps. I believe the weathermen/women are predicting cool temps and gust...
Rainy Lake, Minnesota fishing report 8-13-10
This summer on Rainy Lake has had me thinking of campaigning the fishing industry for a much needed energy drink geared exclusively for hardcore anglers like us. I suppose until someone comes up with one we'll be forced to slam our morning "Amp" in preparation for Tank Time on Rainy La...
Early August Open Basin Trolling - Mille Lacs Lake
The open water trolling continues to “troll” on during the month of August putting many walleyes in my boat. Over the last week I was able to get out 4 different days and each day was very memorable. Last Thurs it was my birthday and one of my gifts was for the entire family to go fishing with...
Night Trolling Walleye in the Alexandria area
Normally I don’t start night trolling the shallow rocky areas until the water temps fall in early October. But one evening last week I found myself short on daylight, and since the rigging bite slows at dusk, I decided to give trolling a shot. I chose an area that is primarily composed of rock...
Lake of the Woods Keeps Reeling in the Walleyes
Yesterday, at about 5 pm I was able to get out and do a little fishing, but with the hot temps and low wind, I had only one technique option, which was trolling the Rapalas. Tom came in off the lake yesterday, early in the afternoon and told me that he couldn’t keep the Walleyes off his hook in...

Dog Days of Summer have Skipped Lake of the Woods
This past weekend and early this week, the unquestionable top notch fishing hasn’t stopped a bit on our amazing body of water, Lake of the Woods. As I returned to work yesterday afternoon I received a phone call from a guest who is coming up here next week with a large group, and he asked me, “...
Multi specie St. Croix River report
July 30, 2010 despite the heat and humidity the walleye and sauger bite is pretty good. The fish are always cool and swimming in their pool so what do they care? It is us anglers above the surface sweating our shirts off! When I mentioned the fish are biting, I refer to an anglers bait or lure...
Winni/Cass Lake multi-species trip
With much anticipation, my good friend, Ron, and I headed north to Lake Winnibigoshish for some serious fishing. Our targets: anything that bites. J It’s been a number of years since we explored Winni, and this time it was to reconnect with all the great fishing this body of water has. Frida...
End of July Open Basin Trolling on Mille Lacs Lake
The open basin bite is in full swing and many suspended walleyes are falling victim to deep diving crankbaits. Over the past week, I was able to get out three times and each time out there were some subtle differences in what the walleyes wanted. Since my last report, I’ve received numerous PM...
