Hayward Fishing Report

I just spent an incredible day on the water with my new friends Scott and Wyatt Evans from Mineral Point, Wisconsin.  Even though we are not related, it was obvious that these guys are fisherman.  Must be in the name!  We landed 20 walleyes in the a.m. with the largest being a fat 23″ fish…

The O’Leary gang from Evanston, IL rolled into town this week looking to improve on last year’s catch of magnum bluegills.  Well, they have now expanded their list of species caught to include crappies, smallmouth, largemouth, and northern pike.  Jack (5 years old) is the self proclaimed “Bass Master”, and Charlie (4 years old) is…

I celebrated Father’s Day weekend with two incredible father and son trips.  Nate and Nick Gove from Crystal, MN hopped in the boat with me on Saturday for a day of walleye and smallmouth fishing.  Our plan was to fish walleyes in the morning and switch to smallies in the afternoon.  I love it when…

My good friends Jeff and Masen Miller joined me for our annual “Bass O Rama”, and I’m happy to report that it was another successful trip for the father and son from Bloomer, WI.  On day one of our trip, we were faced with extremely tough conditions.  Northeast winds, rain, and clouds made for a…

We’ve had some interesting weather conditions to start the week, but the fish have been cooperative.  On Monday, I fished with Mark Hayman and his seven year old son Levi.  We were on a mission to get Levi his first walleye and first smallmouth.  The goal was met with a dandy 20″ walleye and an…

Dave Brown and I spent the last four days fishing with Bobby, Steve, Chuck, and Chase from Bentonville, Arkansas.  What a great group of guys!  They sure dialed up some interesting conditions and weather for their trip.  They arrived with warming water temperatures and smallies on the verge of spawning.  On the day they left,…
