Rain, wind, sun, repeat.  That's been the story with our weather lately…  The Jatzow men from Iron River, WI were back in my boat for their annual trip on Monday.  John along with his sons Andy and Greg joined me in Hayward to target walleyes, and we had conditions that felt more like October.  High…

We've had it pretty good over the last couple of weeks.  And here comes the weather…  Jeff O'Dell (Branson, MO) along with his parents Paul and Lois (Tightwad, MO) arrived in northern, WI just in time for a good old fashioned cold front.  Yes, the name is really "Tightwad"…  We fished the Hayward Lakes area…

Tal and Darlene Janowitz from Raymond, WI returned for a half day trip on Sunday in the Hayward Lakes Area.  The weather forecast called for thunderstorms moving in by late morning.  Well, they were sort of right…  With no wind or glare on the water, we had excellent visibiliy to sight fish smallies at the start…

Chuck Reynolds from Mequon, WI booked a trip with us last year.  The mission was to fish Chequamegon Bay, but big winds made it impossible.  We rescheduled, and he was finally able to make it happen along with his friends Chip Stringer (Mequon, WI) and John Richter (Sayner, WI).  Chuck handles the marketing duties for…

May showers bring June flowers.  That's how it goes for us in northern Wisconsin!  We've been in a cold and wet weather pattern over the past week.  Lots of rain and lots of northeast winds have made things a bit challenging, but even the fish figured out that they have to eat sometime!  Terry Peterson…

We worked out of Angler's Haven Resort on Tuesday, and Bob Spoerl from Waupaca, WI was back in the boat along with his son Lucas from LaCrosse, WI.  It was a bit of a soggy start as we dodged thunderstorms throughout the morning, but it didn't take us long to get on a good walleye…

Our first week of the 2017 season is in the books, and we've got a lot to report.  Opening weekend is always spent with my father Jim and partner Terry Peterson.  Our first choice is usually Chequamegon Bay depending on the weather, and we were able to get out there despite strong east winds and…
