Last night the walleys were going crazy. I fished from 3-7:00 on a local lake and just pounded them. Between myself and one other person we caught 8 walleys, and 10 crappies. All of the walleys were between 15" and 19". One of the crappies we caught was 13 1/2". All in all it was one hell of a time out on the lake.

Care to mention how deep the fish were? Thinking that the depth might carry over on other area lakes down there.

basscatcher, I was fishing in 19' on the basin of a steep break. All of the walleys that we caught were on deadsticks with a banana jig and a minnow. We tried jigging spoons, and some jigging raps but all they wanted was a plain jig and a minnow sitting right in their face. The crappies that we got were a little more aggressive they were anywhere from 6' to 10' off the bottom and they would hit anything you put down there. I had my best luck on the crappies with a # 6 fat boy with just the tail of a fathead. Along with all the fish we did catch we had about 4 more walleys that came off in the hole when we were attempting to grab them...tuff luck but we still had a great night.

Thanks for the info. That's a darn good night on the walleyes for this time of year.

How was the ice on the lake you were at? Thick enough for full-size trucks?

There was about 17" of ice where i was. I drove my full size chevy out there, and other people on the lake had their trucks out. I would say that you're good to go, just be safe as always.

Great post! Speaking of walleye, I read that the MN Legislature extended the fishing season for walleye and pike one week this year. I'm curious as to why they did that. Does anyone know? (I'm all for it of course...especially if it brings more tourism to Minnesota) Thanks.

From what I can tell by what I have read, the DNR was interested in seeing if there was any increase in harvest by extending the season. Maybe it will become a permanent thing?

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      By Dash 1 · Posted

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
