She is pretty, but reading some reviews, jamming in colder weather seems to come up a lot? -

On waterfowling pages that Stoeger M3000 gets mentioned a lot. The Cerakote finish is sweet too. -

I really like it. I do like the gas operated semis as they reduce recoil -

Walked today and yesterday, flushed 9, shot at two and got two. Hopefully next year I'll have a dog to hunt with. Still warm up here, skim of ice on ponds. Weather has been nice. Hopefully walk a bit more the next few weeks. Been pretty cautious walking for birds to not interfere with deer hunters. There sure are not the deer hunters there used to be -

On the South Shore... The focus for many this week is the ongoing deer hunting season which is a big tradition in these parts, even for avid walleye anglers. There were some that either already harvested their deer or are more into catching fall walleyes than hunting. Those that are fishing are taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and excellent walleye and sauger bite that is happening across the lake. Cold weather is in the forecast in the upcoming days and weeks so that is also getting many excited. The best depths on the south end of LOW are 22-28 feet of water. Vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners is catching most of the walleyes, saugers and jumbo perch. Depending upon where on the lake you are fishing, some slots and big trophies are in the mix as well, but most reports are talking about good numbers of eaters. Jumbo perch are coming in good numbers this fall which will serve ice anglers well. Watch out for an occasional pike or even lake sturgeon mixed in with the walleyes. There are good numbers of walleyes and saugers across the south shore which is setting up nicely for early ice. On the Rainy River... There continues to be good numbers of shiners in the river, and consequently, there are good walleyes in the river as well. Walleyes along with saugers, pike and some sturgeon are coming in up and down the river. Most walleyes are being caught in 10-25 feet of water in various stretches of the river. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners is the key. Some anglers are also still slow trolling crankbaits upstream to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon fishing remains strong. The catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open into the spring when it changes to the "keep season" on April 24th. Up at the NW Angle... As temps are getting colder, most are in the woods hunting and not fall fishing, however, for those who bundle up, fishing continues to be excellent. A nice mixed bag with walleyes, saugers, perch, pike and crappies being caught. Very good muskie fishing with the colder water temps and shorter days. Some big fish and some good numbers are being caught amongst the islands. Both casting and trolling is getting it done.
