My loss is your gain!! Yep, I'm supposed to be elk hunting right now. The trip didn't work out this year and I didn't book a thing... Next Tuesday through Saturday are WIDE OPEN.
We chased some steelhead first thing this morning around the creeks, but that was unproductive. From there we checked on some walleye and found what I was hoping for tomorrow morning's guests. Let me know if you want to get out. I'm going to bug you all for a bit. The fish are on the move, get hold of me before the fish are GONE. ... See MoreSee Less
September smackfest! Hard to imagine, but, the amazing fishing continues!
We’ve been counting the days until the walleye migration west slows the fishing, but they are still here! Last year it was still rocking in October, and it might do that again. I still have some days available, let’s get after them!
This morning was a return to the hot spot that we found yesterday and luckily the fish were still there and extremely cooperative. One big fish after another were chomping our worm harnesses. It was all we could do to keep the rods in the water yet again. My guests today had the biggest 12 fish box of the season back in June and man they brought the good luck back with them again. What a day on a beautiful lake!
Gear thoughts… I’m still rocking my butterfly blades, but I’ve also started working some Mike's Walleye Rigs blades into the mix. #4 Colorado blades have been working awesome in a variety of colors. More to follow on those! In-line weights, dipseys and even bottom bouncers were doing work today. Be on the lookout for more info about all my setups as fall approaches. ... See MoreSee Less
What an amazing day. Captain Ryan made our day again.
Thanks for another amazing day on the lake.
Good work Ryan🎣💪
When a couple charter captains have guests scheduled for the morning and the lake has been angry for a few days… Lane Brown and I went hunting for them.
First stop that was hot last Thursday was an empty screen today, next stop, BINGO! I drove past to get set up on the upwind side of the motherload that I had on the huminbirds, and we had just enough time to get some rods set until the beat down commenced. We fished for about 45 minutes, and we had all the info we needed for the morning, and a limit of really nice fish.
Believe it or not, I’m still running the same worm program that I outlined at the fishusa walleye palooza this spring. Depths change, leads change, but this is a foolproof way to load the boat. Back at it in the am. ... See MoreSee Less
Double day Tuesday! Yesterday I had the pleasure of starting the day with some returning guests and wrapping up with some newbies.
The conditions were a little choppy on the ride out in the morning. A longer than planned ride to the stomping grounds was rewarded with some crazy fat fishing, big fish and one chrome jumpy fish in no time at all. I had the benefit of the morning and hit that exact water later that morning and it was a repeat of the same. The fishing is still out of hand! I didn’t even have a second for photos! Absolutely love this lake! Time is running short if you’d like to fill the freezer. I have some September dates available starting next week. ... See MoreSee Less
Yesterday was some Fry-day fun! Repeat guest and frequent flyer brought his queen along yesterday. We were in fish right out of the gate and had solid walleye mixed with a small number of farm animals heading for the net in short order.
It wasn’t long and the crew and I filled their limits and my lunch order. Fresh walleye for lunch is a pretty solid side benefit of this fishing gig. Thanks guys, see you soon! ... See MoreSee Less
Had a few days off, then it was back at it Wednesday. These fellas fish with me pretty often, and it’s always a pleasure, but today was express special. We celebrated 78 trips around the sun for my guest of honor, and wouldn’t you know the fish favored that same special someone.
The fishing where I started west was slower than I would have liked, but the further east I made it, the better it got, and it wasn’t long until we were in fire drill mode. Still pulling worms, and still rocking and rolling.
P.S. these guys clean their own fish and I always forget to take pictures with them. Thanks for hunting me this time fellas! ... See MoreSee Less
What a beautiful day we had Friday. The morning fishing was a solid reminder of the amazing fishing we have here, but still a little slower than we’ve been used to. The afternoon started slower than expected and we found the motherload of sheephead. Great for the kiddos to fight some monsters, but less great for filling the livewell. We ground it out, and man were we rewarded. What an absolute bucket load of fish we ended up with. ... See MoreSee Less
I had a wonderful time. You were the best and knew where the walleye were hanging. Thanks. 🤩✨⭐️🌟💫. 5 stars.
Good times and some good eating !
+5
Today was a double duty day! After the stretch of windy weather we’ve had, it was awesome to get back on the water. Tracking down a good bite was the mission, I hit some familiar ground and had a slow bite followed by a white perch bonanza. We pulled our gear and made an adjustment. Humminbird lead the way and the motherload was located. We finished the morning in style and it lead me to an awesome bite right away this afternoon. Some piggies hit the ice this afternoon as well. My afternoon crew was a couple fellas that were new to boating and first timers on the walleye grounds. Oh, what an introduction they had. The first fish to hit the net was 25 inches and they kept coming. What a great batch of fillets headed south today,
What an awesome day! Back at it tomorrow! If you aren’t booked yet I only have a few more trips available before we wrap up for the season. Let’s get out there! ... See MoreSee Less
I try to spend Sundays with the family, but sometimes it's necessary to spend the day with friends instead. Shaky forecasts pushed us to separate these three trips to three days, and luckily, the fish stayed right where I found them last week. My duo of the day and I did donuts on a small area for the morning to avoid the swells and the small spot just kept producing great fish. Every time through the area we loaded up on fish, when we got into smaller fish we just turned around and did it again.
We're still hanging around 70 FOW and burning worms with the best of them. Great bite and great sized fish continue to amaze myself and guests. I can't wait to see what the rest of the month holds. Let's get out there! ... See MoreSee Less
