Nice fish Kettle and good effort to get to the lake. I like all your new equipment. What pole are you using for the LiveScope?

Summit shuttle is the carrying case and I got the pole from them as well. I'm really happy with it. A lot of people harp on the fact a lot of it is 3D printed but the quality and durability is there.

So people fightin’ over it when I’m not there?!  Shoulda swing by and freshened up my mark on it - over your mark of course. 🤣

 

We were in your neighborhood over the weekend.  I had to take a pic of what deerless woods look like as we left. 😉 But they sure are pretty.

Yeah, you know your roads… 🙂

 

Looks like a fun spearing time you had!  I was hoping to cut a hole on Winnie but there just wasn’t great opportunity for that on their roads.  I got one 21 3/4 on the jig rod though.

Don’t mind the blood,  It’s just the same spot I cleaned the walleyes before. 😉

There is a guide that lives just north or Remer, I. Stop and BS with him occasionally. He said there is an area of 12 ft of water that they literally beat the living crap out of it in winter time! The guides are Wheezy outdoors!

Well, it still is.  The crowd figured it was trashed but there’s still fish in it.

 

I’d eat fish out of Rice long before Pelican though.

Yep.  And they did drop it to help out the ducks.  But fish still swim there.

50/50 Shorelunch original and seasoned panko.

 

Deep fried vs pan fried.  Believe it or not they’re less oily outta the deep fryer.

 

If I see some Andy’s when I get more breading, I’ll try it.

      not too bad at my place, but they are starting to come out. about the only time they get abundant is when I pull my skeeter out of the garage.😁
    • smurfy
      i reckon the skeeters are starting to get a bit over abundant about now????????🥴
    • VermilionGold
      Shamrock Landing and Grubens marina have both sold minnows/bait in past years, not sure about current season 
    • SkunkedAgain
      I am not aware of anywhere in the west basin to get minnows. Hopefully I am wrong.
    • chucker1101
      The only place on the East end (unless i'm mistaken and don't know of some semi-secret place) that sells minnows on the lake is the Casino bait shop on Everett Bay. Whether they have rainbows is hit and miss. I'm not including Timbuktu as East side   Getting off-lake, the best value for rainbow for me over the last 10 years has been Lucky 7 in Virginia.

      was up at the lake all week, water temps 65-66 today, and the crappies are now spawning. did not try for walleyes this week, but got my eye on a couple of lakes.
    • smurfy
      well.........i'll be back up june 10th to the 16th. the 10-11-12th i'll be there by myself!!!!!🤗   i'd even be OK with meeting at a neutral place and go to the lake blindfolded!!!!!!!! 😊🤣   leech...he is over there.........just forgets about us FM  rejects!!!!!!!🤪

      On the south end...   Good fishing this week with nice numbers of walleyes and saugers.   A jig and frozen emerald shiner again this week is the go to presentation for walleyes.  Rainbows and fatheads are also working and it is nice to see what the fish want each day.   Various areas across the south shore are holding fish.  Most walleyes and saugers are being caught in 17 - 24' of water.  Anglers are anchoring up and vertical jigging. A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.  Pound the bottom, jig it up in the strike zone, hold.  Trying shaking the jig and lifting it off of the bottom.  Any kind of weight will be a fish hanging.  Set the hook! A mixed bag while fishing walleyes include pike, jumbo perch and a few crappies.  On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes caught  this week on the river in 10 - 15' of water.  Typical spots such as holes, current breaks, weed edges and rocky areas all can hold fish.  There are 42 miles of navigable waters from the mouth of the river all the way to Birchdale.    Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st.   The river holds good numbers of smallmouth bass for those interested in bronzebacks.  A lot of bass are caught by unsuspecting walleye anglers. Up at the NW Angle...  A great week of fishing.  As typical with guests staying at the Angle, some fish MN waters, some slide over into Ontario waters.  Both areas are producing.     Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water have been holding walleyes.  With warming waters, fish are in transition and there are lots of fish.   The goto presentation is a jig and minnow.  Gold, glow white, pink and orange are good colors.

      I don't fish any secret lakes. I research the lakes on the DNR website with good walleye numbers. I spent a lot of time learning side imaging. I'll scan for an hour or two if need be to find the fish. Nothing crazy for techniques. Either pitching a jig or back trolling with lindy rigs. If either of you two ever want to go let me know 
    • leech~~
      Smurfy, you know where that Kettle guy fishes?  Might have to sneak over there! 🤫
