eelpout

Congratulations! To our esteemed fishing colleague Erik Stone.

As Matt Kohout passes the crown to Erik — something fishy has gone arye!

Although, his hands smelled and were slimy with pout juice…There was some debate as to who really caught this fish?

Erik was outside the fish house when this huge burbot took his bait. My brother-in-law Scott was there to set the hook. Stoney quickly returned to land this wonderful — proud-to-be an ice fisherman dream catch.

We didn’t have the, “Fisherman’s Handbook of Fishing Etiquette” handy, so we came to our own conclusion. It’s your hole, it’s your fish! Sorry Erik.

Crappie Action

Well, It’s that time again! I just got back from scouting to see if the lake ice has gone out and it has! Most of the ice and snow is now in the middle of the lake. This is the best time to fish spring crappies!

My favorite fishing technique for early ice-out crappies is to slip on a pair of waders and fish the shoreline. It’s a great way to enjoy fast black crappie action! (more…)

Picuture of 40-inch Northern Pike

Congratulations Kevin! This was his first trip to Arnesen’s Rocky Point Resort.
Of course, it’s always the new guy who lands the biggest fish!

This Pike was exactly 40-inches with plenty of battle scars. He was blind in the left eye with a bite on his back and the top tail fin was missing.

The Real Roach Chubby Darter

Incredibly, this huge fish was caught on a small #3 Real Roach Chubby Darter! Both treble hooks were nearly bent straight! The fish was released for you!
