Todays Fishing Media Personalities


Recommended Posts

I've become pretty jaded after watching an epidose of a "big name" fishing show being filmed. The same fish was "caught" by all 5 guys present. That nice pike was in and out of the hole at least 30-40 times. That being said I'd like to spend a day in the boat with any of the following: Mr Roach, Hrbek, Bucher or Mehsikhomer(sp).... Hey would "the Griz" count as a "celeb" 'cuz I think that guy does really catch fish.

I think I could learn a lot and enjoy the day with Van Dam or Stange but no one has mentioned a Canadian fellow name Ytalo Labignon. His show was, I think, Canadian Sportfishing and he fished for all the fish we northern guys like, a biologist, often fished with kids and many times got out of the boat and waded when called for. Really nice seeming fella.

Top o' da list:

- Dean Travis Clarke, Sportfishing Magazine TV - this guy has the best job on the planet... fly to sunny ocean and gulf locations all over the world, stay in resort hotels, and hire friends with super fast boats for day after day of pelagics, cobia, stripers, grouper, redfish... I just want to tag along and wet a line!!! He sealed the deal for me when he did a show on migratory stripers off the Outer Banks of NC.

- I also like "Captain James" from "Off The Hook". As corny as this reality show can be sometimes, this guy is east-coast-raw like I grew up, I'd pull bunker busters in NY Harbor for stripers in his boat any day, he's as real as it gets on fishing TV.

Bottom o' da barrel:

- Bill Dance. What a cornball, trying to act the way he does. And he dresses like my dad. grin.gif

Somewhere in da middle:

- Shaw Grigsby or Hank Parker - I don't think these guys can have bad days on the water. The fishing may stink, but they have their priorities straight, seem like the "fishing partner for life" kinda guys.

- The Next Bite guys, Keith, Pete and Gary. They have FUN - just listen to the hoots and hollers and cheers and congrats when they boat a toothy critter.

No one mentioned " THE GRIZ ".... I think if you want Walleyes, he be the man. But there is a thought to ponder.

I have fished along side of The Babe... Dave Genz... on ice. I think fishing with Al Linder would be a tremendous true experience. But if your in Al's boat, your not about to blurt out a few dozen "F N heimers when you get the big one on. Swearing I believe would get you on the dock pretty quick. Now the other fine fisherman previously mentioned..... no "F" an heimer problem letting go on the language.

my brother took his father in law fishing with the Griz last summer. He said the two old men sat in the back of the boat chatting all day while he fished. and he would do it again at the drop of a hat.

I would love to fish with JOE FELLEGY on (Contact Us Please). There's No one that could be a better choice. The rest are all parasites.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯

      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
