Manitoba Dreamin'

Wow, what a fishery! We got spoiled once again by lake Winnipeg's fertile abundance. In search of a girthy 30+incher, I was lucky enough to pull three of my heaviest Walleyes ever through the Manitoba ice. Catching three fish over 30 inches, all with 17 to 18-1/2 inch girths was something I never even dreamed could happen. Truth be told, we struggled our first two days out and were slapped with temps of -25 F. It's easy to keep at it though once you get a sample of what is swimming below your boots.  

                                  Here's the longest fish of the trip that kissed 31-1/4"

                              I connected with this late-morning bruiser in 13 feet of water.

March madness has officially begun it seems.

Cheers and hook-sets! 

My Lake Winnipeg Greenback Get Away

With ridiculous reports coming from lake winnipeg year after year, I just had to get up there. This massive lake full of massive walleyes did not disappoint. Huge fish inhale ripped rattle baits and lake trout sized spoons. And judging by most accounts, the fishing we had was on the slow side.

Cheers and hook-sets!
