Episode 45
Non-Stop Multi-Species Bite on Eagle Lake
Show Date: November 5th & 6th, 2016
Location: Eagle Lake, Ontario, Canada - Near Vermilion Bay, Ontario
Guide/Accommodations: Andy Myers Lodge [888-727-5865 - www.andymyerslodge.com]

This trip to Canada was probably the most exciting fishing trip I’ve ever been on, so don’t overlook fall as a great time to be on the water.

We’re on Eagle Lake, fishing out of Andy Myers Lodge, and it feels like the lake is more alive than it’s ever been. Every species we targeted bit, and with such ferocity, that we planned to come back before the trip was even over.

On this weeks show we’ve brought along some special guests, and they really experienced some very special fishing. Our guest include Bill Morgan, Kevin Theisen, and Jeremy Meyer. They represent Johnsonville Sausage, Yamaha Motorsports, and Amsoil respectfully. Their support allows us to bring you a new show each and every week.

We knew we wanted to do a grab-bag, and target walleye & pike, but we were able to do some bass and muskie fishing as well, because the fish were so cooperative. We used everything from plastics and minnows for the walleye and bass, to suckers and lures for the pike and muskie.

Episode 46
The Greatest Fall Muskie Bite Ever!
Show Date: November 12th & 13th, 2016
Location: Eagle Lake, Ontario, Canada - Near Vermilion Bay, Ontario
Guide/Accommodations: Andy Myers Lodge [888-727-5865 - www.andymyerslodge.com]

The fishing was just too good to leave!

This week we bring you the second half of our fall trip to Canada, there was just too much good fishing to fit it all into one show. We are again joined by Bill Morgan, Kevin Theisen, and Jeremy Meyer. They represent Johnsonville Sausage, Yamaha Motorsports, and Amsoil respectfully.

On this episode we check out another lake in the area around Andy Myers Lodge, of which there are many. Our guide and friend Danny Herbeck says the fall is a good time to “get revenge” on the muskies. His record number of fish is 24, twenty-four muskies in one day. While we didn’t break his record, we certainly netted our personal best, especially given the time on our water was pretty short.

Don’t miss this show!

Episode 47
The Wisconsin River in Mosinee
Show Date: November 19th & 20th, 2016
Location: Wisconsin River, Mosinee, Wisconsin
Guide Adam Rassmussen [715-340-8509]

We’re fishing a part of the Wisconsin River that we’ve never been, so to make sure we are completely covered - we brought two guides!

Brett Jolly, whom you’ve seen guide us on the bay of Green Bay, as well as his buddy Adam Rsssmussen. Adam guides this area, so he's our expert to guide us to everything we are looking for. Speaking of everything, that’s what our mission is: to find multiple species all in one trip. We primary catch walleyes, but have suckers our for muskies as well. We catch other species too, but are throughly impressed with the size of the walleyes. We catch what Brett would call “bay sized” fish, which was a pleasant surprise, and really ended up making the trip.

Episode 48
Bass in Big Waves on Lake Superior
Show Date: November 26th & 27th, 2016
Location: Lake Superior, Chequamegon Bay; Ashland, Wisconsin
Guide: Josh Teigen [715-813-0575 | joshteigen.com ]
Accommodations: River Rock Inn & Bait Shop [ riverrockinn.net ]

It’s fall, and with the weather change comes wind. This week we’re battling the wind on Chequamegon Bay out of Ashland Wisconsin with charter captain Josh Teigen. Matt Bichanich from Hard & Soft Fishing joins us as well, but he’s not our expert this week, Josh is.

We’ve had amazing bites this time of year with Josh, and have been excited to get Matt on the water to experience it with us. Unfortunately with the weather changing, the big bass we came for were in a bad mood, and not biting as feverishly as we had hoped. The bass did bite, and even the smaller ones put up a heck of a fight.
