I’m going up to Ontario next week. Will mainly be targeting walleye and smallmouth. Any tips on the lakers?

Had our annual family vaca to the Cass Lake chain in northern MN. The chain is a part of the headwaters of the Mississippi River. Same as usual, the daytime walleye bite is nearly impossible for us. I think the few boats who even bother trying it during daytime are sharpshooting the fish with forward sonar. We did fair trolling cranks after dark. Pic of my sister and of my girl, Bethany, who didn't mind helping me in the fish cleaning house til 2am.

What kind of fish are those? The fish on the left looks similar to a freshwater dogfish and several of the other fish look somewhat similar to bass. That's quite a haul!

I've heard tales of lobstermen's children in the old days complaining about eating lobster all the time. I could see that.That Tuna looks outstanding!
Tonight's dinner was the same as lunch, which was the same as yesterday.
My neighbors may not like me but they would never say so. Free fresh tuna for all that want it.

I've had a tuna steak exactly once in my lifetime. Possibly the best thing I've ever eaten!

Rockfish, the bright one is a canary and couple ling cod. The four of us had a blast and the fish is excellent eating!

Recovering from a 36 hour trip. One small yellowfin tuna but tuna fishing was slow. We learned a new trick. Fishing for Golden tile fish. Just like flounder fishing only in 500 feet of water with 2 lb weights. Bad part is you have to keep them all regardless of size. When they come up that far they won't survive being thrown back.

500' is deep! Although I may have fished that deep for halibut in Oregon. We used 2lb was and it took forever to get them on the bottom.

We cheated. My son did the first one with a Penn 30 to see if there were any fish in the area. After he caught one we broke out the electric reel and just pushed the buttons....

Very interesting fact about lobster. It was considered junk. Most people wouldn’t eat it. Then the trains came and they served it to the people on board who thought it was exquisite. Then it really took off! IMHO, I think it is overrated. I'll take shrimp, clams, calamari any day!
