Yea I am pretty much done. This year I have caught (me and my fishing partner) around 110 bream, 250 crappie, and 400 bass. I have plenty of fish in the freezer and now it's time to concentrate on hunting. I hunt on the river quite a bit so I may squeeze in a half day of fishing here or there but for the most part I am done.

No way fishing is just getting better here. Here is a picture from the last Cat we put in the boat. At one point I put 19 cats in a row in the boat over 14lbs. All of them were released. The Red River of the North is Hot Hot Hot.

Im close to done, but not quite yet. The King Salmon are just starting to work their way into the harbors off of Lake Michigan and i will make a few trips up to try my luck from shore. I typically start around midnight and fish until daybreak using glow in the dark spoons. Nothing quite like fighting a fall run Chinook.

FLW Everstart series bass tournament is on day 2 today. Kind of rainy but the wind is down so they should do well. My boat is still in the shop so I can't even go to watch.Some pros are fishing just off my beach and they are catching them. Ahhhhh the sounds of 168 boats blasting up the lake at dawn really does it.

brown fish or green ones, i bet the small jaws are starting to act right

I never stop fishing for the year I ice fish. I Fish and hunt all year long

HECK NO!!! this is monster muskie time. Not to mention big pike coming up here very shortly. The fleet is coming into the shallows to refuel after long days spent deep chasing and eatingwhat unlucky fish happens to swim by.

I have never caught a pike or muskie

That sucks I really feel bad for you honestly you have no idea what you're missing. the best way I can describe how a northern fights, even the littleones, is imagine a rabid pit bull on speed getting stuck in the rear with a cattle prod then hooking it in the mouth and trying to fight it with fishing gear. They just go crazy. Now muskies I would say asmallmouth orlargemouth bass on stereroids with the ability to make 4-6 foot jumps out of the water a number of times. You just can't imagine the feeling of hooking into a 20-40+ pound 40-50+ inch freshwater fish and seeing them launch themselves out of the water trying to throw the hooks and then just bulldogging straight down andcoming up and doing it again a number of times. They are the two greatest freshwater fish IMO. You just have to try them out sometime. You won't be sorry.

this is best fishing of the year here..snook, trout and redfish are biting in saltwater and bream, bass, specks, catfish in freshwater..also next full moon the shrimp will start their run to the ocean..
