We had an awesome morning this Sunday. Camera died halfway through, but we filmed a good bit of our catches. Had a blast and the new camera arm I built made filming super-easy.

I don't fish much anymore but if I do its offshore. For me there is nothing like it. I would say you guys had a GOOD trip! Expensive hobby being an offshore fisherman. I remember the first time I lost a $60 lure. Not the same as losing a $2 spinner
SO??? Style Oppressor??
Just got back from a one-week fly in trip to Upper Wapesi in Ontario with Clarks Resorts.
We took three days to drive to International Falls with our camper and two dogs. Crossing the border, I got the dreaded chicken ticket. Yes, I am now an illegal chicken smuggler. LOL. Not allowed to bring chicken into Canada because of some chicken disease.
Stayed that night at Cliff Lake campground and drove over to Clarks the next morning. Clarks allows you 100Lbs of gear per person so for two should have under 200 Lbs. Well, our total weight was 445 Lbs. Yes, that’s correct 445 Lbs. Clarks did not charge us for being overweight (normally $1 per Lb.), because we had a larger plane, this was our first trip with Clarks and because I am such a charming person, LOL.
The weather was a little cold for us at night coming from Kentucky. The bugs were almost nonexistent. The first three days we dodged the rain, not a lot but some. Took us 1 ½ day to find the sunken island, but when we did, fishing at Upper Wapesi was like catching fish in a barrel. We caught fish until are arms were tired. Since we had two dogs, if my wife caught a fish, I needed to bring in my line, hold the dogs back (from falling in the lake as they tried to bite the fish), see picture. She did the same if I caught a fish. (The small dog only fell in the lake once). We would lay our pole down with the jig and minnow hanging in the water. At least 12 times a walleye would come up from 12 feet deep and grab the bait right next to the boat. I have had that happen with pike, but never with walleye. We caught fish in 9 to 17 feet of water. Now we did have some slow times, maybe only caught 6 fish per hour but those times were few. On many occasions, if we dropped our jig to the bottom, click the real we had a fish. Most of the fish were between 15” to 18” with a lot of smaller fish. The biggest was 25” caught on the last evening. I debated on bring my depth finder, glad I did since the fish changed depths multiple times. Even went from 12 feet to 9 feet in the middle of the day. Going back next year.
