Hope everyone has had a great start to the fishing season! I have not posted on this account in quite a while and am going to get back to sharing pictures, fishing reports and maybe some little tips on here for everyone. Fishing has been great so far this season from walleyes to smallmouth to crappies and most recently musky. I have laid out a few baits as far as walleye fishing goes that as of most recently and in the near future here will be my go to baits. Right now I am finding most of my walleyes on outside w**d edges, or buried in thinner emerging w**ds. We are starting to see some good bug hatch in my area so expect leaches, hair jigs and glide style baits to become the most dominate bait choice for a while. Also if you are not finding the walleyes where you last left them say on a w**d edge, don’t be afraid to slide a little deeper into adjacent mud flats and search around snapjigging a glide bait or spoon. I will try to post fishing reports weekly from here on out for the summer for mostly walleyes and musky so stay on the lookout for that! If you are looking to get out fishing I have a few dates open yet for June and throughout the summer so shoot me a message or phone call to set something up. Good luck to everyone hitting the water this weekend!

Great outing with Dave! He took home his dinner and released the rest! Fishing has been excellent in the northwoods lately!

And it begins! Looking forward to chasing these things around for most of the next month! I have a few prime days left open to chase big pre spawn smallmouth. The walleye bite should be fantastic as well if that is more your style. Get ahold of me to book a trip for some great spring fishing!

We are counting down the days to opening day! Ice is deteriorating and things are looking good for a great spring of fishing. I have May 8,10,13,16,26,27,28 and June 6,7,16,18,23,24,25 open for full or half days and plenty of other half days trips available in between there. Get ahold of me if you want to get in on some great fishing!

Great trip to round out the ice season! Thanks to everyone that got out with me, it was a great year! I am booking ice fishing trips for 2022/2023 season so if there are dates you want to get out let me know! Looking forward to the upcoming open water season and warmer weather!

May is a great time of year for multi-species! I still have some dates open including opening day! Let me know if you want to get in on the action.

Great week of trips! Catching a lot of walleyes, bass and bluegills lately! The “beautiful days to be fishing” have shortened bite windows for walleye especially but we are still getting it done!

Havnt been posting much lately (getting easily distracted by the big toothy critters in my free time) but fishing has still be good! Here is a little photo dumb if the last week or so of good fish. Pictured first (Eric) was here all the way from California for work and got to knock catching walleyes off his bucket list! All very fun trips!

Just wrapped up a super fun three day trip with Aaron and Brian! We had some tough conditions including cold, wind and storms but we still managed a pile of fish and some big ones at that! These boys landed 6 walleyes over 25” including a beautiful 28.5”! Thanks guys I had a blast!

Beautiful October.... I mean June morning chasing walleyes! These boys caught some studs, kept 2 for lunch and released a bunch more. I have open dates in July if anyone wants to get out!

Great evening sniping em off the humminbird mega side imaging! Fish were moving around fast but we were right behind them picking them off the w**d edges with slip bobbers. What a great night of learning and hooksets!

Rory scored a nice musky today right before the storms rolled in!

Very fun morning with Peter and Craig! We hammered the smallies and got a few bonus walleyes mixed in as well! Smallies are really starting to bite good with soft pastics and top water working best.

Great morning hammering big walleyes!! After a little practice Max really started to dial in his jig cadence and hooked some toads! Biggest fish of the day (scored by Max of course) was 25”! We even managed to double up on mid 20” fish, what a blast!

We had to work for them today! Some tough conditions this morning, but sticking with it going spot to spot all morning scored us some awesome fish!

What an awesome day with Mac and Tara! Started out the day with some big walleyes on swimbaits and ended with big bass on top water! These two baits scored us all our fish today with no live bait in the boat! Thanks guys I had a blast!
