 Rocky caught today. Water temp is very warm, and the Walleye bite is sporadic. Did get one Walleye big enough for the fry pan  I release those rocky's~ there ain't a lot to them. The one pictured is about in the 12 oz. claas which is about as big as they get around here... Regards, Doc Sharptail |

Didn't eat it, but it's still fun to catch them. Good work! SW

catch and release those just for fun - too bony to eat , but at least you had some action , they get considerably bigger here - still do not eat the red eyes , |

 Here's the Walleye mentioned above~ about 4-5 lb class, on my walleye board. The Finn Martini filleter pictured is about 23 years old, and still takes a quick edge. The ash/birch handle on it is severely dried out. When it let's go, it will be time for a new one. Nor-mark used to carry a non-slip grip synthetic handle version of this classic. If I can find a new one, it will be the replacement.  Old shooters don't fade away or disappear. Still very much at it at this late stage of the game. I intend to keep on doing all these hunting, fishing, and shooting things as long as I am able....Regards, Doc Sharptail |

try soaking the handle in boiled linseed oil with a little turpentine mixed in. Hang by the blade and just soak the handle. |

 A decent handful of pike from Hazel Creek. Water is very low, less than a foot. Surprised to be catching fish that size in so little water.... Regards, Doc Sharptail |

  29-1/2" I usually release these when they are this big. This was another egg bearing female. Egg sac about 3/4 depleted. She took the white walleye grub and 1/8 oz leadhead all the way down past the gullet, and bled heavily on landing.... Enough for 3 fish heavy meals! (even though I prefer the taste of the smaller ones) Regards, Doc Sharptail |

better to eat than throw back that one - there are so many released on the catch.release millacs lake system that are simply dieing these days , what a waste of great fish meals , i have lots of thoughts on that lake management that i should just keep to myself , but lets say there is way too much waste involved on way too many levels that no-one is taking into consideration because of past government actions , it is a fantastic offering to all involved and no agreements can get to an amiable-economically advancing solution , too many stubborn heads involved to reap the rewards and preserve the fishery in the same motion, |

 10 lbs of snot rocket (jackfish) caught at the mouth of Sturgeon Creek. I was using pretty light tackle~ was actually fishing for eater walleyes. One piece Fenwick HDX light walleye rod and a tiny Pflueger President spinning reel. That is a very sensitive rod. I can feel walleye dragging their teeth over the lead-head and grub before the strike.... That was another egg-bearing female. There are tons of pike fry in the creek water. I ain't hurting anything by taking this one. Excellent table fare, especially breaded up and fried Regards, Doc Sharptail |

 Nice big channel cat that I hooked through the dorsal fin. Walleye grub shown on the fin is 4" long, just to give an idea of the size of this fish. It took a bit of doing to get this landed- light rod and reel and line again. Maybe if I bait up for cats, I'll start catching Walleye again  Regards, Doc Sharptail |

ive caught a channel by accident on a jig or a crank bait but they always tried to eat it , never snagged one of those - nice job , i can only imagine that fight , he had a bit of advantage on you , good eating , |

Sauger caught today at the slough west of Selkirk Park on the Red River. Took me long enough~ ten days of holidays, and still no walleye or grouse. The barometer simply refuses to cooperate   Regards, Doc Sharptail |
