I was headin up, few weeks back, stopped and tried dragging Ed away from his day job. But noooooo he had to work.

Anyways, did have a day on the water with Stu and Mamacats is that the name I just saw? Oh she may call herself mamacat, but she has the greenback touch too!

Ice fishing is incredible! First time I went out last year spent five minutes in Andrea's shack and had one. Can not wait to take Lou out, he is great fun. You have to come try this, hot chowder in the portable, yummy.

I was setting up goose decoys this morning, thinking it is warmer in portable than it was walking in that field in rain, sleet and snow. Can not wait for ice.

Nice fish Mama! Just a little to early for that ice house. all i know is this......

1. Canadian women know how to have a good time;)

2. Red river is SLOW

3. Trick or treat!?

Only impressed with one thing.... and it is not the fish. But it is fishy!

Walleye picture was first fish last year. Sorry should have said, "while I was goose hunting this morning I was thinking about the fact it was warmer in the portable last year than it was this morning." Darn nasty this morning. I am sure the geese had to be deiced before take off. Cat was a monster that Stu put me on. He never stops amazing me. He showed me a deadly spot that afternoon! Here is a hint her gurth was not fare off from mine. And one third of my body weight, (she was around 38 lbs) it was 39 1/2 inches long.

Mike, not to worry. You, along with all our guests, will be given "all" the pertinent info you'll need to make your trip a success. Kinda like the info one can acquire from the local B & B's and "no-tell" motels... winkwink

Here's a chunky greenback from yesterday's excursion. It was the 1st ever trophy walleye for the young lady and although she was a tad nervous holding the fish, man was she excited! If you look close, you'll see the pink "Reelbait" Flasher jig hanging from the Hawgs mouth! Make sure that you have a good selection, they're deadly thru the ice!

I am very proud of my "daughter" and the fish she caught. Thank you for the compliment on my daughter, for years I have been giving seminars across the U.S for women. Focusing on the outdoors, equipment and reactions of them being there. Then telling them that, "Women do not need to look like "Bush Babes" but rather can look like ladies and still enjoy what mother nature has to offer. If you look closer you will see the line had broke and the hook was placed back to show what it was caught on.

anyway u look at it.... it is one hell of a fish! and congrats. we respect all the info that is giving especially is the jig color and set up.

we went out on traverse bay and did well once we got out of the wind. our biggest was 6 pounds. But many 5 pounders.. No 10 pounders today:( I will get you some pictures hopefully tomorrow!

ps... whistler jigs are the ticket!

Thank you Eddy, had a thought last night, not that I am compulsive about fishing at all! Would love to start a ice fishing club for girls called, "The Canadian Jigglers" lol.They do not have to be from Canada just have to want to spend a weekend slamming big walleye's. Bet we have a ton of offers for guides!

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, the limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.
