    Sak Sakakawe Walleye in December

    A couple of us made it out to the big lake, yesterday and today. Found a couple of easy limits and some nice weather. Catching fish in the boat in December sure does shorten up winter. We were in the New Town area, fishing in about 30 fow. Caught them on jigging raps, shadow raps and...

    Sak Van Hook - Fishing Report

    The fishing this weekend was a nice uptick. The previous days of wind certainly helped. We found our fish in 25-30 fow, pulling cranks. Flicker minnow 9's produced all of our fish, and we had to pull them a little slower than usual, at around 1.8 mph. We caught a lot of fish and the ratio of...

    Sak Parshall Bay Fishing Report

    I have been at the cabin for more than a week now. The fishing has been solid. It hasn't been gangbusters, like it was in early June, but it has still been very good. The fish are definitely into their summer pattern, being spread out and mostly deeper. As of late, we have had our best luck...

    Sak Old Reliable - Flag Flats

    I woke up, yesterday, and had the boat ready by 6:30. My stomach was a little off, so I went to use the bathroom before heading out. Well, that turned into a full day of the flu. Or maybe it was food poisoning. I did have some gray meat at the China Star the night before. A guy can get sick...

    Flying Cranks!!

    Heads up! Good defense! I know it's no laughing matter when the hooks connect, but my uncle got lucky on this one ... so, it's hilarious! Anyone else have a close call like this, or have one connect??

    Sak Van Hook is Hot!

    Three of us fished the hook this morning. We put in at Parshall Bay, then cruised out to graph some of the island shorelines. We had luck on Probst, Moore, Fox, and a couple of others. We were sitting in 6-10 fow and casting to the shallow side. Some of our fish were in 2-3 fow. We started the...

    Sak Memorial Day Walleye

    My daughter and I were at the cabin Thursday evening through Monday evening, for the Memorial Day weekend. We decided against going to New Town, and instead stayed in the Van Hook Arm area. On Friday, we scouted the Shell Creek area. We caught a few nice walleye in 1-4 fow, and a pile of big...

    Sak Newtown area is going strong!

    Three of us were out in the Newtown area on Friday. That day, the morning temp was 37 degrees, and the barometric pressure was spiking. Nonetheless, we were in it to win it. We were chilled to the bone in the morning, so we decided to try and find fish close. We checked beacon and some other...

    Sak Mother’s Day Walleye & Bass

    Well, three of us got the go-ahead, from our wives, to fish on Mother’s Day. We put in at the Newtown Marina. The water temp in that area was 46 degrees. We checked a few spots, as we worked our way west, toward warmer water. We tried a gravel shoreline once we found 52 degrees, but no luck...

    Fishing Plan This Year

    I think I ask this most years, but not all. What is it you would like to focus on this year? It could be something you hope to improve upon, it can be a new tactic altogether, perhaps a new species, or even new bodies of water, among other things. This year I planned on pitching or cranking...

    Fishing numbers

    The number of people fishing went through the roof, during covid. I'm wondering what this year will be like, now a couple years removed, and the state of the economy suffering. I'm sure plenty of people will be getting out there, but will it feel noticeably less? I'm kind of thinking so, but...

    Tennis elbow and fishing

    Has anyone had to deal with it? I developed a case of tennis elbow, last fall, after WAY too much jigging rap fishing. I thought it had gone away, over the winter, but while we were up on Lake Winnipeg it flared back up. Now, if I do one hookset with my right arm it sets me right back to...

    No more tackle

    Going through everything, and it made me wonder how long I could continue to fish if I never bought another lure. Years? Decades? Forever? Ha! How long do you think you could?

    Your Most Expensive Fishing Rod

    I think many of us start out with low dollar rods, then progress to moderately priced rods, then onto more expensive, then onto straight up spendy! Just out of morbid curiosity, I wonder what the average cost is for the most expensive rod each of us owns is. How much did your most expensive...

    Manitoba Live Bait Ban

    Seems a bit extreme, doesn’t it?

    State of NDA

    Just a few things. First, I understand that we are in the dog days of winter, and we are all chomping at the bit for open water. Many of us are getting anxious, frustrated, and flat out cooped up! Due to this, I have been getting quite a few "reports" and "complaints" from multiple members...

    Walleye like frogs

    Pretty cool frog tactic in the middle of the video. I have to be honest, I have never given a frog lure a try for walleye.

    Bites of the Past

    Does anyone remember fantastic bites from the past? Back in the day, Lake Darling had an epic perch bite, and back in the 80's ( I think) it sounds like Buffalo Lodge had a crazy perch bite as well. What hot bites do you remember from the past, even if it is from way back in the day? I get a...

    How is ice fishing going?

    How is the ice season going for everyone? I have been out a handful of times, and pleasantly surprised with the results on each outing. Some of the lakes are tracks only, now, but the fishing has still been good. I haven't been on Sakakawea, yet, so that is a current goal, and looking forward...
