Another canadian eye'
Biggest eye of the trip.:D 29 inches
The crappies that we were going to target on this lake are huge! Unfortunately our day that we had planned on going after them turned into a little bit of a beer binge and we never made it out. Walleyes are still a treat to catch though! I encourage anyone to try fishing for Crappies in canada. They get huge because no one targets them!
Nice fish Chris.I agree about the crappies in Canada!
Walleye's are just a bonus up there.Were you by Kabetogama or near LOW?
I was on dogtooth lake 15 minutes south of kenora in ontario.
Sounds like a cool trip.I stay in Minnesota mostly.Haven't been up that far north in quite a few years.For big crops,I like Crane,Rainy,Red,Ely area,Detroit Lakes area,and lakes within an hour of the TC's.There are also quite a few lakes In Wisconsin I'll go for some slabs too.
I've been getting some nice eye's on Lake Independence lately.:D
Fall fishing should be excellelnt....:D :D
We have Minnesota's first ever history making fall nite bite walleye tourney coming up in September in Waterville Minnesota.It should be a cool tourney.
Wow i would take some of those eyes anyday.Been acouple of years since i been to Canada sure do miss going up there
If you ever get up to Minnesota,Hogster,look me up.I'll take you walleye fishing.:D
i did two ten day backpacking trips into Quetico couple of years back. had a heck of a time. we were going to take our vacation in minnesota this year, but i heard the fishing in the middle of the summer is pretty slow. resort owners were telling me there were bass up to 5 pounds that i could catch in the summer and i can do that anywhere here all year.
here is my question for you folks, if we were going to take a vacation involving fishing, hiking, etc... what time of year would be best and what area. keep in mind we don't have kids, so the whole playground thing doesn't matter in the least. thanks for any info!
Try Isle Royale on Lake Superior.Best times are spring,and summer.They close all ferry's to the island in the fall.
You could also go hike Jay Cooke State Park,just south of Duluth.Miles upon miles of hiking,and backpacking excitement.
Another place is Pattison State Park,located 45 minutes south of Superior Wisconsin.It has the largest waterfall in the midwest.Big and Little Manitou Falls,with lots of hiking trails nearby.
Or....between Ashland WI,and Superior is Madeline Island.There are plenty of backpacking trips around the Madeline Islands worth checking out...
Hope it helps...:D
it does, thanks a bunch magnet!
Those are some nice eyes. Are there guides up there that will take you out to catch crappie in Canada or do they mainly focus on other speices?
The Nester Falls area of Canada is VERY popular for crappies.Fish up to 17 inches are caught up there.Spring,and fall is the best times.
If I was gonna head to Canada,I'd fish for those monster pike,and walleye!Some of those waters seem almost untapped,and don't see lures very often.There are other lakes closer for slabs.
Try Rainy River,or Crane Lake.Huge slabs to be taken in those waters!:D
