Late start again today....... Fished a full boat this morning. Wind picked up out of the west pretty good and put a nice chop on the water and made for some decent drifting scenarios. Marked a lot of bait and many fish. Some really impressive bait pods in places.... Hooked up a little after 8 am with a scrappy 23" male walleye that was still producing milt..... With that, My 6 1/2 year old son landed his first eye this morning. Could not have been more proud!! Great morning on the St Lawrence.

Hope it turns up man..... That stings. I have lost plenty of gear and its never fun.

In a pinch..... Trim tabs fully deployed and engine drive trimmed up will reduce speed. Since u are just waiting for the repair of your kicker, I assume you dont want to spend a lot...... My .02. Good luck!

Thanks guys.... Safe and happy holiday to you as well. Hoping to get out later tonight or tomorrow am and try to scare up a few more. Tight lines!

Also got a late start this morning. Hit the water around 7 with a full crew. My father, 2 younger brothers, and my son. My brother Wyatt, 12, landed his 2nd ever walleye this morning ( 1st was yesterday) 25". My youngest brother Travis, 9, landed a mangey looking 30" northern that fought like heck and was released to fight again another day. A great time was had by all and home by 945.

Nice fish Kevin. Not sure why the double photos.... Having the same issue.

Mid river structure. 50 fow. .

Just got the boat in the water. Fished for an hour around 330-430 before dinner. Picked up a nice 28" eye. First of the season.

Yes..... Lol. They are like squirt guns for a brief period..... Very messy, gross squirt guns.

Nice work Roybee!!!

Hahahah. All good stuff.

Good luck man...... Sorry for your boat troubles. I love catching northerns from the canoe in the spring. Tight lines.

Nothing like a good steak!!

Is that 1-6-0??!! Seriously..... I have never caught them that deep. Holy christmas.

Agree 10000% Bleeding makes a huge difference. You can see the difference in how translucent the meat is when you clean the fish and of course the meat tastes better. Google "ike Jeme". Some really interesting info on handling fish.

Thats a great question consigliere..... I will report back on my findings..... I fish both shoreline and mid-river structure..... Hopefully something proves to be productive.

Good luck.....I wont be up till saturday. Counting the minutes.

Good luck guys. Look forward to reading your reports.

Where abouts on river did u fish Roybee? General area....

Awesome Prof T!! Nice work. I use a 3 way rig with stick bait myself. Similar presentation. Glad u r on the fish!!
