Thinking about kayaking down the rum river above the dam closer to Cambridge. Rumors and additional Reddit research say the fishing is better up that way. Any of you have any thoughts about best start and end points? Any hazards like small rapids I should be worried about?
Anyone know any really good spots around St. Paul for catfishing. Up here for work and I’ve been dying to fish but can’t find any great spots.
The Ultimate Jig + Crawler Breakdown for TROPHY Walleye:
Jig and crawler fishing for walleye is one of the most effective techniques for catching big, pressured fish. In this video, I give a complete jig + nightcrawler fishing breakdown for walleye while putting the technique to work on the great lakes and catching multiple trophy walleye, including fish over 30 inches.
I break down everything I’ve learned about fishing a jig and crawler, including my exact setup, how I rig a full nightcrawler, jig weight selection, rod/reel/line setup, bite detection, hooksets, and the different cadences I use depending on how the walleye are reacting.
I cover:
* My preferred VMC Redline Tungsten jig setup
* Why 1/8 oz is my go-to weight
* How I rig a full jumbo nightcrawler
* Bottom jigging and subtle crawler cadences
* How and when I use a pendulum presentation
* Strolling suspended walleye
* When to use larger pops or faster retrieves
* When and why I upsize to 1/4, 3/8, or even 1/2 oz
* Rod, reel, braid, and fluorocarbon setup
* Bite detection and knowing when to set the hook
* Adjustments for wind, spooky fish, and changing fish behaviour
Most of these fish are extremely pressured Great Lakes walleye living in the ultra-clear water, where getting a fish to follow your bait is often much easier than getting it to actually bite. When artificials aren’t producing, a jig and nightcrawler has become one of my biggest confidence presentations.
Throughout the video, I show these techniques in real fishing situations and make adjustments based on how the fish react, resulting in multiple trophy class walleye, including a 31 inch giant and another fish over 30 inches.
If you want to learn how to fish a jig and nightcrawler for walleye, how to catch more finicky walleye, or how I target trophy Great Lakes walleye with LiveScope, this video covers my entire approach from start to finish.
Thanks for watching!
Group of us are going in next Saturday on basswood lake and would really love to find some lake trout. I know about the fishing forum on bwca website but haven’t found much info about it. Yes we will be fishing to keep and not catch and release. Thinking about jigging paddle tails and tube jigs and trolling walleye spinners in 40 fow. Any tips will help
Hey I live up by Lake Superior/ Duluth does any one have good lure recommendations I mostly fish the rivers and dams
Ich liebe das Angeln, vor allem auf Raubfische. Ich erinnere mich, wie wir vor etwa 10 Jahren mit meinem Vater Excel-Tabellen führten, in denen wir aufschrieben, wo ungefähr der Biss war und welchen Köder wir verwendet haben. Ich war damals noch klein und ging zur Schule, aber sobald sich die Möglichkeit bot, beschloss ich, eine App für mein Haupthobby zu entwickeln. Ich habe bereits Erfahrung mit einer Angelapp, aber das ist eine völlig andere Geschichte, die sich in eine andere Richtung entwickeln wird.
Die App wurde vor 2 Monaten veröffentlicht, aber gestern Nacht erschien ein sehr wichtiges erstes großes Update — das hat mir die Zuversicht gegeben, endlich öffentlich darüber zu sprechen!
Das Grundkonzept ist die Verfolgung des Angelvorgangs mit schnellem Protokollieren am Wasser, Notizen, Stellen und Fängen. Alles ist an Ihren Standort gebunden, was der Schlüsselfaktor ist. Wenn Sie eine Sitzung starten, läuft die App im Hintergrund weiter, um den Akku zu schonen. Außerdem werden in Echtzeit Wettervorhersagen und eine Karte mit Ihren Ergebnissen angezeigt, die Sie bearbeiten, löschen oder ergänzen können. In Zukunft hoffe ich sehr, dass ich auch Angelrouten aufzeichnen kann — das ist beim Trolling sehr nützlich, ich bin sicher, das wird klappen!
Ich verstehe, dass viele gerne erst nach der Tour protokollieren, daher habe ich eine manuelle Erfassung hinzugefügt, die der Live-Erfassung fast identisch ist — außer dass Sie Datum und Standort auf der Karte manuell wählen müssen. Ansonsten ist es derselbe Prozess, der jederzeit ausgefüllt werden kann.
Das Hauptziel ist es, nicht nur ein Tagebuch zu schaffen, sondern vollständige Saisons, in denen alles rund um die Tour und ihre Statistiken aufgebaut ist — damit Sie alles an einem Ort speichern und bequem einsehen und verbessern können.
Saisonstatistiken und Filterung fehlen noch, werden aber kommen.
Alle Prognosen basieren auf verschiedenen Indikatoren und haben eine Fehlerquote — Ihre Erfahrung und Ihr Angelplatz stehen immer an erster Stelle. Jede Erfahrung ist nicht nur praktisch, sondern auch theoretisch — vergessen Sie das nicht 😊
Ich freue mich über Feedback — schreibt Kommentare oder eine Privatnachricht 🙌🏻
Caught these two last year in two trips. Heading to Vermilion end of September hoping to keep my streak alive.
I’m going to lake of the woods for a fishing trip in a couple of days. I rarely fish out of a boat. Mainly just a lot of ice fishing and some river fishing. Just wondering what kind of weather I should prepare for clothing wise. Weather looks nice for the time I’m there, upper 60’s lower 70’s. Any input would be appreciated.
Hello everyone, short background. I just moved to minneapolis and I am trying to figure out the fishing here. Does anyone have good recommendations on the best river fishing lures for smallmouth, pike, walleye, buffalo sucker, yellow perch, drum, and white bass. Also what are some great river fishing spots that catch fish (I don’t keep fish). I appreciate anything I can get.
This is by far the biggest smallmouth l've ever caught, and i just want to know how big it really was.
i asked chatgpt and it estimated around
22.5-24inches long and 5-6 pounds.
for reference i am 6'4 and 8 inches from fingertip to wrist.
What do you guys think? I can die happy after catching this smallie! It's been 2 days and i'm still riding high from the dopamine catching this monster🤣🤣🤣
Caught in Eagle Lake, Crow Wing County
Just a fit of curiosity I wanted to plug into this subreddit:
Does anyone know of any lakes that are predominantly Green Sunfish? I may be misremembering details of my childhood, but I remember 10-15 years ago we had a select number of metro lakes that carried Green Sunfish in bountiful populations (I remember Snail Lake had a bunch).
Now as a young adult, I rarely encounter Green Sunfish at all. It seems the lakes that used to carry them in abundance are now dominated by hybrid sunfish. The last time I saw anything resembling a full-blooded Green Sunfish was back in 2013 (Ravine Regional Park in Cottage Grove, MN). Typing this out all just seems weird since Greenies aren't something people regularly target but their recent absence (recent to me at least) has peaked my interest into trying to find them.
Random side note: I have more recently encountered Orangespotted Sunfish which are a species I would have never expected to find in higher abundance than Green Sunfish.
I’m not particularly skilled or knowledgeable about fly fishing, but I’m passionate about it and enjoy spending time in the water. My wife and I recently moved to the Twin Cities area, and my father-in-law and I are seeking a fly fishing partner. If anyone is interested in joining us or is looking for a day filled with anticipation of catching fish (sometimes, you know how it goes), but also enjoying the moments when you do succeed, please let me know!
I'll be visiting Rogers next week for some work training and I'm considering getting a 7 day license to go fishing after "work" (I'm visiting from western WA). I've seen the forecast and some of the posts here saying that the heat is making it harder to catch anything. Is it worth getting the license right now? If so, any spots or tips for the area? Around here I'm usually only catching rainbow trout or really pitiful small mouth. It'd be nice to land a decent largemouth or (pie in the sky) a musky / pike. TIA
