What We Do

My photo
We are chasers of trophy fish (Leviathans if you will). We devote as much time as we can to the thrill of the hunt, the success, and the failure of fishing the waters of Northern Minnesota. We are stewards of the land and water. Conservation is a top priority to us because the future of tomorrow is what we decide today. Catch-Photo-Release is practiced along with selective harvest.

What Crappie weather

Hot weather, rising water temps and insane algae bloom has made some of the smaller lakes around here pea-soup green.Although it isn't my favorite conditions for fishing slabs, the show must go on, as we are Chasing Leviathans...I have had the opportunity to FINALLY get caught up with the honey-do's, I have gotten the chance to get out a little more and get back on the trail of the panfish and a few walleyes.
 The last week has found the mornings after panfish and nights for the walleyes with mixed results.
I have had some consistent action on the crappies working deep in the weeds with small jigs and plastics,but the size has been inconsistent and the Bluegills have been closer to the outer edges.
 Walleyes have been consistent trolling stick baits on shallow sand flats but seem to be a little more aggressive late into the night and makes for a long day!
 I received the dreaded " hot tip " a couple days ago from a reliable source , so I have convinced Patrick we should make the trip for some "bull" Gills  and heavy walleyes this weekend and make a day of it.
 We will let you know how it goes and throw in some pics so you can tell us if it was worth it.Let us know!!
 Here is a thumbnail sketch from this week, I hope you enjoy it.Good Fishing to ya!!
