Has Spring made it to Lake Winnipeg?

Well for a few moments this past weekend, it sure felt like it. No jackets, no gloves and a few greenbacks...man we waited a long time for this March run.

Fishing was nothing short of spectacular. I had the right crew of guests who wanted big fish and were willing to sacrifice some numbers to key in on a big fish bite. Literally every bite we got was a giant!! These fish were going on live targets, psycho shads and spoons. Lake Winnipeg convention shows lots of movement this time of year. We fished the same spot 3 days in a row. Arrived drilled a bunch of holes and waited for the big girls to cycle through.

Burying a 20" extension on the auger with every hole. Pulling out a tracked Escalade stuck in 3' of slush and banner numbers of trophy fish, all under the sunny skies of March.

Where are you going on March break?

AYA Icefishing Derby Saturday March 8, 2014

Be sure to check out this event on Lake Winnipeg this weekend. The site is being plowed, the weather is warming up and I fished around the derby site....there are fish and big ones!

There are some incredible prizes and the event supports efforts to get young people involved in angling and the outdoors.


Tickets are still available at Pro Am Tackle, Winnipeg Sport and Leisure, Howard Johnson/Hat Tricks or at Chalet Beach Rd the morning of the derby.

 

A cool moment caught on film at Scott Lake Lodge

This is the sight some of our guests were treated to upon landing at one of the flyout lakes at Scott Lake Lodge. Hungry fish!

Stay tuned for more videos and a video contest. 14 guides with cameras for 100+ days turns up some crazy footage.
