Where's Willie?

Willie WalleyeWell,  just returned from a FANTASTIC  few days with our friends up at Ballard's Resort up on Lake of the Woods.   If you've never been up north, you need to.  That wide open lake and the novelty of riding Our "Bomber""Bombers" to and from your shacks is worth the trip alone.   Northland Pro Jason Durham and I fished along with head guide Nick Anthony (a great guy to look up when you're up there).  We caught literally dozens of walleyes and sauger out of our magic house, "#8", but the big treat of the trip had to be Shack # 8Jason's catch shortly after lunch.  His rod dipped and the drag buzzed as Jason wrestled the fish up and eventually to the hole.  Wow!   The biggest perch I've ever seen.  It appears Northland's new Macho Jason's GIANT PerchMinnow works!   After leaving Lake of the Woods, I stopped by Red Lake for a quick couple of hours on the ice.   5.2 miles out from Waskish and fishing buddy Greg Schultzenberg and I set up shop.  We Otter's Ice Cabincaught a few dandy keeper walleyes.  Spent the weekend on Gull Lake chasing perch.  Caught a few dandies on Northland Eye Droppers tipped with minnow heads.   This year we signed on with Otter Outdoors and I'm very impressed with the Ice Cabin portable shack.  It pulls so easily and I can't believe how well the polyester shell holds in the heat!
