She hit just after full dark tonight at Breezy Point on the Red north of Selkirk.
Looks like the run is going to have an early start this year...

Decisions :-? Hunt or fish :roll:

This kinda thing makes me glad to be alive....

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

Hey Hunt in the morning and fish in the afternoon.

Got skunkarooed yesterday.

Managed this in the freezing rain, sleet, and snow today:

Image

Not quite as big as Monday's, but still a decent eater. This one's a male, and I hope some of the greenback hue shows through the digitalization :P
Walleye board is 24" from the clip jaws to the outer edge of handle.

Run's just starting up, and I gotta be patient and put up with the slow bite for a while yet. She usually peaks/crests about the 3rd week of Oct....

Meanwhile, back to our normally scheduled grouse jaunts ;)

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

Last day of holidays panned out on a sliver of a hunch....

Image

4 Walleye, all male. Caught right here in town at the mouth of Sturgeon Creek on the Assiniboine R. They all took a chartreuse 4" walleye grub on a 1/8 oz. fluorescent green jig head. Casting from shore into the back current the creek causes in the river...

We are gonna eat like kings one day next week. Monday is our thanksgiving break, up here, and store bought turk will be the order of the day with stuffing and whole berry cranberries...

Regards,

Doc Sharptail

If retirement is anything like this....

Back to work for 2 weeks, and then 2 more off.
Would like to hunt a little more, and possibly get a limit of grouse, and a limit of 'eyes into the freezer.

Regards,

Doc Sharptail
