WOW ... was that incredible!

Got 13 Redfish today! What a blast! I've got a pile of pics and video ... but a crummy computer here at my brothers. I'll post them as soon as I can!

Off to Mosquito Lagoon, but I'll be back soon!

Hey, that rhymes! Cool! :)

If you think you had a tough time fishing this past weekend ....

This is almost impossible to believe ... Click here to read

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY ....

... I'll be fishing with my brothers in Mosquito Lagoon, FL looking for a school of these ...

... giant Redfish and maybe a Black Drum or two to go with it! I CANNOT WAIT!

Steelhead on the Ice!

First Steelhead caught on my home made slammers. Please excuse the rookie cameraman for his sideways view of things!

Wisconsin Brown Trout through the Ice.

Heather catches her first Great Lakes Brown through the ice!

Alan's First Steelhead!

Great Day on the Ice!!!!!!!!!

Had an absolute blast on the ice today. Great company and a great bite! Ended up with 7 fish and had a ton of bites. Beautiful weather .... just a great time on the ice! Videos to follow!

I would never step foot on the ice again!!!!!!!!

If my heart survived this episode ... I'd sell my gear and take up curling!!!!

Finally converted on a bite!

Went 1 for 8 today. Had two fish trip the auto and pound the rod only to come off before I got to them. Also had a number of bites from small stocker browns. Finally got this colorful 28" buck steelie about noon. Got a quick pic and let him swim away. Nice weather today, but a lot of water on top of the ice meant a wet foot and an early end to the day.

Got the new slammers out today. Finally got a fish to cooperate. It worked like a charm, but ... after a lengthy 3 second battle the fish came off as they so often do. I made a few modifications to theh trigger and it works like a charm!

And here we go again ...

Hoping to try a few new spots tomorrow. Unfortunately, the forecast calls for 3 to 4" of snow and possibly freezing drizzle tonight. I'll be white knuckling the 2 hour drive in the dark again.

I'd probably stay home and continue to set up my work bench but after chatting with my buddies and doing some advanced scouting on Bing Maps ... I really have to go fishing! If you haven't checked out the "birdeye view" on Bing Maps ... it really is an incredible tool. I'll place a link on my sidebar and a map gadget below for your use. Just double click on the map to zoom.

Good luck, and may your lines go tight this weekend!

I Think This is Good ... Maybe.

I give these guys a TON of credit for driving all the way to Gull Lake for this derby, but ... a 7.18 pound Northern Pike is his biggest fish ever and he's taking home a share of $20,000? Hmmm...
