On this trip, Chris and I took the canoe to a hidden lake near Minneapolis. There’s no boat landing and the lake is completely landlocked with lavishly designed homes. So we grabbed my canoe cart and proceeded to walk with our gear down a freshly paved bike path. There’s quit a few hidden gems like this one; perhaps in your backyard as well?

“This is weird” — Dennis Hopper
You may recall Dennis Hopper, in his best known performance, riding alongside Peter Fonda in the classic movie, “Easy Rider” but how many have ever seen the documentary footage of Mr. Hopper fishing in Thailand for the elusive giant squid?
In an expedition to be the first to catch this deep-sea creature, host John Lurie, fishing alongside Mr. Hopper are very entertaining as they prove to us…they know nothing about fishing in the contemporary film “Fishing with John.”

How Memories Are Built….

“Tailgate Fishing!”
“The phone rings” – It’s Grandpa, wondering if we want to go fishing. It didn’t take us long to get ready. With the pickup already loaded, all we needed was a cold beverage and a snack and we’re on our way!
Some of my best memories are sitting on the tailgate – talking smack and sharing laughs. It’s great to see my daughter enjoying the outdoors with Grandpa!

“No one deserves it more!”
Our esteemed fishing buddy and this years 2009 Eelpout King showed off his talents, once again, with this 15-pound song-of-a-catfish. Eye witnesses to the event commented that landing this fish and beaching the boat on a mid-river sandbar, could have been handled better with a net! Do I see a pattern developing? Stoney, you deserve this fish!

“Odd?…No water skiers on this lake.”
This 36-inch Northern persuaded to consume their bait, as they were fishing for Walleyes on Birch Lake, Ontario, Canada. Nice Catch Greg!

It was a slow Crappie bite…all of a sudden, this 28-inch Northern Pike came along! If I were a Crappie, I’d hide too.

A quick trip to the lake pays off
It was the first warm day in weeks. I’ve been down to the lake numerous times, but haven’t found fish in the shallows – until today! (more…)
