By Jean-Paul Tessier September and October make way for one of my favorite times on Lake of the Woods, our gorgeous fall. The transformation is absolutely beautiful to witness first hand, and I feel very blessed to be a part of it, in what I call “God’s Country”. Each and every year as the miraculous transformation takes place, Lake of the Woods becomes a jigging fisherman’s paradise. This past week I was able to partake in one of the best jigging event known to man, Walleye fishing on Lake of the Woods. I was out with a few of our guests, and let me tell you, the bite is on! We will be jigging on Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River until we get ice in either late November or early December this year, so buckle up and get ready. As the world famous Rainy River Shiner run ... [ Read More ]
Apply Your Fishing Phone
by Darren Troseth When it comes to business these days, having the latest and greatest smartphone is a no brainer, but can these high tech gadgets really improve your fishing success? Well, I say yes, and you might be surprised at the multitude of things you can do with your smartphone as it relates to fishing. From contour maps to high definition GPS, to something as simple as taking a picture, the smartphone is one handy tool. I would like to highlight a handful of the most useful apps that I have found and tell you a little about them. For reference purposes, the smartphone that I am currently using these on is a Motorola Droid X though Verizon. Most, if not all, of these apps will work cross platform on devices such as the IPhone, Blackberry, as well as other Android based ... [ Read More ]
Hot Tub Walleyes
by Greg Schoneck of NDLive.com I’m blown away every trip. It has far exceeded my expectations. Don’t seem possible, this much change in one year. ND hospitality is what makes a resort a community. A place you can walk in a stranger and feel at ease. When we stopped, the lake store was closed. I was busy noting the hours of operation and didn’t notice Cal leaving his lawnmower to come over and see how he could help. Told you, ND hospitality, you’re gonna like it here. Brendles Bay is dead center of the hottest bite on Sakakawea. You will also like the fishing. Limits are normal right now. What is not normal is fish measuring just a bit less than 20 inches and weighing 3.4 pounds. What have these gals been eating? Other day I was out with some clients. It was suggested the small ...

Grassy Awns Are Dangerous To Dogs!
Keep your dog safe and prevent contact with Canadian Rye or Foxtail seeds. There are several species of Foxtail and also Canadian Rye, grassy weeds you need to be aware of if you are a dog owner. You may not know what Canadian Rye or foxtail is or be unaware of the danger they pose to dogs. Please be aware that these seeds do kill dogs and make many sick enough to require surgery. Canadian Rye image below: They grow rapidly during the winter/spring rains, and then dry out in the summer months. As these grasses mature, a seed forms at the top of the stalk. The foxtail seed resembles a fox's tail, hence the name given to the grass. Canadian Rye looks similar to foxtail with a more wheat head look. When dog owners talk about "foxtails or Canadian Rye," they are actually speaking ... [ Read More ]
Walleyes and Live-Bait: Some Things Never Change
by Travis Peterson Today’s angler can still find the old "Five-o-Diamonds" spoon that his grandfather stocked in his tackle box. Some things never change. Walk through a tackle shop today, though, and one sees pegs filled with a plethora of artificial lures that make sense. They are far better imitations of real forage than the lures Grandpa used. However, despite life-like shapes and scent-enhancement, artificials will never exactly replicate live-bait in terms of action. Action, the key characteristic of life, despite research and development in labs and lakes near you, has not been replicated to perfection. Sure, Shadlings catch limits of fish too and are convenient to use. The difference between these lures, however, and the bait in the tanks and in the refrigerators (over in ... [ Read More ]
