Nice Rain Jacket ( Oh and huge walleye) - Ontario Red Lake Fishing Report

I just had to share this beautiful photo.
I’ve been waiting for a reason to get a photo of this rain suit.
It’s a beauty aye?
I was out at lemonade Lake with Ed Jantz and Bruce
It was cold and rained hard all day
2^nd day after the cold front so???
But managed to get a bunch of fish including another huge walleye.

This one was in 9 feet of water.
Most of our bigger fish have been coming in about 14 – 18.
Mark caught a monster northern pike his largest by far.
Joe had never caught a walleye before this trip and his first walleye was a nice fat 28 incher.
He has two over 28 inches so far.
Bruce had a walleye definitely over 30 inches but the net handler was asleep at the switch.
Tom had a 27 -28 incher that Ed knocked off with the net.
On Monday it was pretty miserable weather but we caught well over 300 walleye.
Tuesday was cool and sunny and Mark caught his Giant.
We also caught several hundred walleye including Joes 2^nd huge walleye.
I’ve managed to catch several big walleye including two truly huge walleye by any standard.
I’ll post the other pictures soon.

Odonell set all time personal best walleye - Ontario Red Lake Fishing Report

Jack Odonell group had a great day catching hundreds of walleye on a 21 foot flat. There were literally thousands of fish covering a huge area over a hundred acres. There were several personal biggest ever walleyes recorded.
Matt had a pike grab his walleye and netted both. I had the same with a pike over 40. We also fished caribou southeast. Bruce and I went thru 5 tubs of minnows. Each tub holds about 4-5 dozen shiners.

My first walleye over 30 inches (this summer) - Ontario Red Lake Fishing Report

I've had a bunch of 27-29 inchers but this is my first walleye over 30 inches this season.
Caught on an orange jig and a frozen shiner?!?!?
I've lost count of how many big walleye we've caught on this setup.

Another walleye over 30 inches.
I like it.

Giant Walleye Record for the year - Ontario Red Lake Fishing Report

Hayden with a huge walleye caught half a mile from camp.
A new spot not far from the Wall and Dans spot.
There were plenty of big walleye holding in about 18 - 20 feet of water.
We have found several new spots again this year and low and behold they hold big fish!!
Andreas ginormous pike came out of one of the "new" spots - near the virgin islands.
No matter which part of the lake we fish we find numbers and size.
And no matter what part of Natures Calendar is in play we can find an area to take advantage of it.
This past week the perch have come out of the weeds and we find huge blobs of them on structure and just out over open water. Walleye have been found from 4 to 44 feet of water. And they are scattered more than any other time of year.
But the same as with the "dreaded" may fly hatch, we have found ways to take advantage of it.
(we've found the week of the may fly hatch in early July to be one of the most productive weeks of the year)
I've said it many times already.
The more I fish this lake the better I like it.
The amount of structure and variety of structure is phenomonal.
Rock, sand or mud flats. Transition zones, deep water flats, shallow water flats.
deep drop offs from shallow to deep from mid level to deeper.
Current, narrows, current over deep water structure, or shallow water structure.
Mid lake or shorelince connections and migration routes.
It is all here in abundance - just like the fish

Seanna, Hayden and friends Logan and Brady were all having fun.

August 11 -Beautiful day on the water - Ontario Red Lake Fishing Report

Weather continues to be gorgeous.

Here is a nice walleye Dan Mohr caught over in Lunker Bay.

In my boat fishing was steady today.

Not fast just one or two here and one or two a little further over.

Had a 40 inch pike on a jig and minnow.
