Spring fever has set in - and the next big thing may be fishing, but don’t forget that Sam, Junie, Bogie, Valia and I will be there to assist with grouse and woodcock hunting here in Minnesota through the season (September to December).

Consider coming to north- central Minnesota for beautiful country, dog work that’s a pleasure to watch, some challenging wing shooting, and of course - adventure!

Love those largemouth bass. They are in almost every lake and they like to bite - so they’re one of our most common catches. It happens to almost everyone!

With hundreds of lakes just in “my” county alone - the opportunities are endless.

If you’re looking for some fun multi-species fun, consider Minnesota, and look me up!

Rainy River anyone?

I’ve been thinking about it, and WAS working on my boat until we got this big dump of snow. Might delay things a bit - but what we usually need is a slow, sustained melt.

Many people came into my boat and got a new PB walleye, including me. My best was a very pregnant 31.5 incher - but couldn’t locate the photo. That was many phones ago! Or was it on film? Hmmm…

It’ll be our first chance at open water here in Northern Minnesota. Love the border-water traditions here.

“ Queen Junie” pictured - getting some hotel room spoilage.

I’ve been here, there, everywhere with her, and halfway across the country for a very special breeding.

I think of her as “my baby girl” and she’s been with me constantly - so it’s hard to believe that “our JuJu” might be a momma soon!

Ultrasound happens in a couple weeks, when we will see how we did!

Will there we some adorableness happening soon?

Stay tuned…

Pictured below are the sweeties from Valia’s 2025 litter.

She’ll be next… a bit later in 2026.

Ahhh… there’s something about the release of a giant - no matter what the species. There’s at least one mid-50’s in the mix today.

I like to go to a body of water that has EVERYTHING, put on a bait that’ll catch ANYTHING, and get to work!

Thinking of treating yourself to a fishing trip this year? Well, think about north-central Minnesota, and look me up.

Big smallmouth! Right up there with my favorite fish to go after.

We chase them locally in the Brainerd Lakes Area, Mille Lacs, the Mississippi River, and the Longville area lakes - where you’re probably more likely to get a giant smallie than largie- but either one could happen!

May and June are prime months, and right around the corner.

Spring fever is setting in. Reward yourself to an adventure to the lakes of Minnesota!

Never could resist a giant, floating buff - irregardless of what boat I was in.

If there’s a bow on board - the fish is gonna get it!

But yes- I usually chase ‘em with the carp boat!

April - June is prime time for a Minnesota bow fishing adventure. Call to get your dates booked!

As hunting seasons are over, and we have now pulled the spear house - I look toward spring fishing. By April, we will be in the “carp boat” bow fishing and in the regular boat chasing crappie and bluegill. By mid-may, it’ll be time for bass, pike and walleye.

Anybody sit in a proven spot with no decoy (when fishing is slow)?

We’ve had a couple slow days staring down the hole during the cold snap on these -20 days. You can change decoys if you want. Doesn’t seem to matter. They’re moving aggressive, neutral, or inactive. Lately it’s been nothing - in the same place we have nailed them under different conditions, and for years.

I have been running with a theory that fish have a window of tolerance … how close they will come to a decoy. Sometimes it’s right on it, sometimes 2, 4, 6 feet or more. That’s why I like a big hole - but I still think fish are coming by that we have no opportunity to see. They see the decoy and avoid it.

Lately, on a slow day - I’ve pulled the decoy and just watched the hole to see what happens. The last two times - I’ve had a nice fish in the hole within 5 minutes.

Coincidence?

Well, I’ve been doing this for years and it happens a lot. Especially with whitefish.

Anyone else?
