Who loves fishing ?

I remember when I was that ambitious. Good on ya. Glad you were rewarded.


I wandered down to the river around 9 this morning after breakfast, tea, and watching some Conor McGregor humiliation.(what a fukkin clown)

Water was rising and fishing was slow. They were around but you had to work for every hit. Something kept biting my minnows in half, but I couldn't get a hook in it. Got a white sucker, a long-nose sucker(I think that is the name) and finally a small walleye.

I was going to wander along the bank for a look-see, but stopped when I almost stepped on this little fella.

I took the pic from a foot away and then backed off and let him be. I looked an hour later and he was gone, so he either got his wings working or something got an easy breakfast. Nature gonna Nature.

It gets harder and slower every year.
Filling the freezer, only really get couple months a year for prime time

Sitting low in my yak kills my spine so I made life a little better. Hard to see but I used my extra light winches to hold everything down lol. Also added a gel pad cushion for my body ass

Home after work for a snack and a hoot and then off to the river.

What a fun night. The skunk was slain with a smalleye shortly after arrival. A while later I set the hook on something heavy, expecting to see a sturgeon. It was a big, thick 27 inch river wallie with a small wound on his head. Hell yeah!

I believe it was a goldeye next, followed by a big, thick 27 inch river wallie with a small wound on his head. Hmm, something seems familiar. Then it was another small walleye.
The next fish had me confused. After the hookset it went sideways and looked like it was going to jump. Must be another goldie. Then it decided to hug bottom. Okay, a walleye.
Shows what I know. In came a wee baby sturgeon of maybe 24 inches. I was able to hold it under the belly with one hand like it was another 'eye. I believe this is the smallest dino I've caught.

The final fish was a big, thick 27 inch river wallie with a small wound on his head. Yes, I caught the same pig walleye 3 times tonight.
By the third time I was shit talking it "really buddy? you really can't figure out an easier way to get a meal than this?"

They were still biting when I left but I needed time to wash off the bug dope and sunblock before bed.

Fished s new lake today. By far the largest lake I've hit. Everything went wrong lmao! Broke one of my rods while rolling up the windows, lost my bowl...we'll, that kind of stuff happens when a kayak tips over! I won't give details as I don't want to be considered mentally handicapped i masterclassed it. I the midst of the chaos, i slayed the smalls. This one was spectacular to catch. It put on a great airshow.
