I’m taking my youngest son out in the canoe Saturday morning for smalllies & northern gonna toss big sun baits and top waters!
Father & son fishing is the best… we’ll be hitting the stretch of river I fished with my dad right before he got sick. Good memories.

Cooked down some pancetta for the Caesar, used the renderings + big knob of butter & the juice of 1 lime to poach the walleye. OMG, it was fantastic !

Doug & I went out, again, Sunday morning, actually. On the lake for 9:15, home before noon. Fish were hitting hard, after Saturdays storm fronts.

Anyone else still fishing? I went today and caught a ton of panfish and a few walleyes, nothing worth keeping.

Went camping in the end of September in and area off of Shadehill res in northern South Dakota. Found some sharptail grouse for a limit the first day but only one the next day.it was calm and nice on the lake so I thought what the heck. Broke out an old spinning rod with a Mitchell 300A on it. Just had a minimum of lures with me at the time and put on a old Berkely Frenzy plug in fire tiger pattern. 4 casts and a solid strike resulting in a well hooked fish put on a good fight. I was surprised to see a nice channel cat (25") when I got him in. He was excellent eating that nite..mb

I haven't been out that much lately, and the fishing hasn't been good the few times we have gone. The last time we went about a week ago we got a handful of dink bluegills and one or two little bass.
I'm ready for ice at this point; it's been a pretty trash open water year for me.

Last ice season was garbage here, too. Had 1 day of doable ice in late Nov, 4-5 days around Xmas, then a meltoff. January was all open water, then a little cold snap for 2-3 days of ice in early Feb, and that was it.

I took the GF and her friend for 1 last trip on the river yesterday. Weather was beautiful but he water was getting pretty skinny in spots. We got a couple limits of Coho's and then played catch and release with a few nice rainbows before deciding it was time to head home. Bittersweet day, but a good way to end the season.

I enjoy Hunting also but fishing is so good this time of year. I should have taken my rod and tried casting for walleyes today. It was beautiful out. I will fish from shore right up to freeze up. I have some great spots for that

I hear you !!! But, we've had frost &/or below freezing mornings, for the last week. Last year, I held out & ended up with 2' of snow in the boat, in late October.
