Sept 20th Report
(Preview)
My brother Kenneth and his clients had the big skunk today. Notta, zip, not even a small walleye. Just a couple perch and a couple small pike. They ran spinners, cranks, leadcore, you name it. If it's going to be cold and windy all the time AND have a crappy bite, might as well bring on the ice!!!

Walleye bite tough... 9/19/2010
(Preview)
Wah....I haven't seen the walleye bite this tough in a long, long time. Infact, the previous two times I remember it being this bad, the exact same thing had happened. We had very warm water temperatures but then had cold front after cold front and the water temperature plummited in a very short time. O...

WALLEYE??? NO WAY!!!
(Preview)
I just got off the phone with my brother Kenneth and he said he and his clients have 3 walleye so far and had two more that were keepers come un-hooked. This is a big improvement since they haven't caught hardly any walleye the last 4 days (no more than you could count on one hand). So hopefully this is a si...

Wed. Sept. 15th Report
(Preview)
Today was spent over on the big pond in search of smallies. Patrick, Jeff and I headed out of the Nahma launch around 11 a.m. this morning and headed to a new place we've never fished yet. The last couple of years we've been doing some exploring and fishing new locations and trying different techniqu...

Last couple days...
(Preview)
It's been the toughest bite Kenneth has seen in a long, long, long, time! Did I say it's been a tough bite? Tough enough that he and his clients have been fishing more for pike and bass than walleye. Even the pike and bass are not hitting like normal for this time of year, but here are a few pictures from t...

Some Escanaba harbor bounty
(Preview)
Started off this afternoons trip looking for bass near the mouth of the harbor. After a couple hours, I only landed 3 fish in the 12 to 15 inch range. Only thing I had any action on was a Zoom Trick Worm, rigged Wacky (hooked through the middle,) on a drop-shot rig. I decided to switch gears and try somethin...

Time to catch up...09/13/10
(Preview)
Kenneth's trip Thursday was so-so. He and his clients ended up with 5 eater walleye and a couple big perch. Friday's trip was pitiful with only one walleye caught. It was a nice one though about 24 inches, but just the one keeper. We were joking that he could auction it off to the tourney guys on Satur...

I want to wish all the MWC'ers good luck tomorrow. We have had a great bunch of guys staying with us this past week. I just had some fun a couple minutes ago with David Kolb. I was on facebook and happened to notice Dave was on too so I wished him good luck via the chat box. It just seemed funny since his room i...

Sept. 10th Report (late)
(Preview)
I forgot to send the pictures to Kenneth last night so he cold put up a report (oops). That said, Kenneth had a five hour trip yesterday and had a pretty tough bite only catching 5 keeper walleye and several pretty decent perch. I'm pretty sure all the fish were caught trolling spinners and crawlers. K...

It's real easy to "purchase" them in our on-line store. Thanks again to those that have already "bought" some walleye for L...

The first reports from guys fishing today have not been good. Infact, Joe Volpe said he and his buddy had 6 lines out with spinners and crawlers all morning, and they still had the same 6 crawlers when they came in for lunch a little while ago. The water temp. has dropped all the way down to 61 degrees i...

Sept. 4th report...
(Preview)
I saw a couple guys setting tip-ups on Nelson's Bay this morning! I guess the weeds are really making it tough to drill holes though because they keep binding up the augers. I told him to take a weedwacker with next time... All kidding aside, not much happening on the water. Just too darn windy!...

Last couple of days
(Preview)
The last couple of days has seen a really tough bite for us. Yesterday morning I fished with Amy and Lee Carrigan from Gladstone (winners of a 1/2 day trip at a charity benefit). We got on the water around 7 a.m. and the wind was already blowing like crazy. We headed to our breakline that's been really g...

August 26th Report
(Preview)
Ahhhh...the second day after the cold front. It's always some tough fishing from my experience. Usually the day of the front and the day after are pretty decent and that next day can be brutal. Yesterday started out that way too. We got on the water around 1 p.m. and there wasn't enough wind to do our...

Don't really know a whole lot other than Kenneth and his clients (Denny and Jim) were doing pretty good again today until the winds got too strong to keep the boat where it needed to be!!! So they came in early. I know they were catching them drifting with floating jigs again and caught 6 walleye before h...

Another great day on the bay today, as I had long time clients Denny Gustafson and Jim Lewinski from the Chicago area. Jim "the enticer" Sr. could not make the trip this time, and I'm sure the guys will let him know that he missed out...

Illegal netters update...

I just spoke to a friend of mine that was at the trial, he said the judge found them guilty on 80 counts. They have to pay a total of about $30,000.00 in fines and restitution, took 4 snowmobiles from them, and also issued a lifetime ban on tribal subsistence fishing. At this time, I want to once again give...

Ist trip to Little BDN

Just had my first walleye trip on Little Bay de Noc and it was great!! A friend and customer of mine invited me for a guided trip with Captain Ken. I'm more of a Musky guy from Wisconsin but jumped at the chance to learn some walleye wisdom and possibly catch a meal. I was not dissapointed on either quest and...
