Episode 44

Muskies Galore on Lake of the Woods

Show Date: November 2nd & 3rd, 2019

Location: Lake of the Woods, Ontario, Canada 

Accommodations: Grassy Narrows Lodge [GrassyNarrowsLodge.com | 1-800-589-2214]

We’re back on Lake of the Woods, in what has become a yearly tradition, to fish muskie with Pete Maina & Duke Basketball legend Christian Laettner.  With the combined knowledge of both Pete and Christian, who’ve put many hours on these waters, we have plenty of spots to try. Having lots of spots is a good thing for any angler, but is especially helpful on a giant body of water like Lake of the Woods when the winds of October blow in.  You may not be able to see the high winds we experienced on the show, because we were mostly able to fish protected spots.  

Those spots produced fish for us.  Many fish! This is the reason we keep coming back, lots of action on fish that aren’t typically known for high numbers, the “fish of 10,000 casts” isn’t always true in the fall.  

We’re once again staying on the beautiful piece land where Grassy Narrows Lodge is located.  A picturesque setting in the Canadian wilderness, with hardly any distractions.

Location: Lake of the Woods, Ontario, Canada

The fact that we caught too many fish to fit into one show is a testament to why we keep coming back this time of year, these fish keep biting.  This is the continuation of our trip.

Fall means big muskies, and fishing is a lot more fun when you’ve got a great group with you. This week we are at the impeccable Andy Myers Lodge, which is the perfect place to host a large group of fisherman. 

This is the week where we say thank you to some of the wonderful sponsors that make our show possible. We have representatives from Amsoil, Clam Outdoors, Evinrude, and Johnson Pump - and they’ve all heard the stories of big fish, so we’re hoping to make it happen.


Episode 47

First Ice in Northern Minnesota 

Show Date: November 23rd & 24th, 2019

Location: Ely, Minnesota 

Accommodations: A Stay Inn Ely [218-365-6010 | jaspercompany.com]

We are back on the ice, and it’s one of the few times we’ve started the ice season before thanksgiving.  It’s a beautiful ride through the woods on our new Yamaha’s to the lake, and after checking the ice on foot, we get out onto the ice. 

We focus on jigging for panfish, but also put out the Beaver Dam’s for pike.  Using a jigs & small Kastmasters for the panfish, we catch mostly crappies, but get a few bluegills mixed in.  The tip-ups pop most of the day, and we do catch a few nice pike and bass to mix up the day.
