Lake of the Woods | PB Walleye! ("Mr. Walleye Trophy Race)
A group of high school buddies and some of their family make an Annual trip up to Baudette, MN to fish Walleyes on Lake of the Woods. I look forward to this trip each year! Since this is an Annual Trip we all put some money and bragging rights on the line for the Angler who can catch the biggest fish of the weekend, take home the Trophy, $400 Cash and call themselves "Mr. Walleye" for the next 365 days. The Largest Perch and Heaviest Eelpout/Burbot also take home prizes. Watch the first full day of fishing out of Ballards Resort!

St Croix River | Fishing & Camping

We recently embarked on a paddling, fishing and camping adventure on the Saint Croix River which borders Minnesota and Wisconsin.

In between those launches we explored the river, back waters, caught multiple different species of fish, camped one night at a primitive site, g...

    LOL, that's exactly where I fish when I'm down there. Fortunately we stay at a place that's pretty much across the street from there so basically a 10 minute walk. Last time out I got 2 nice snook on the left side of the rocks. In a pounding surf too, I didn't expect to get anything but the surf didn't seem to affect fishing. Also lost two that just overpowered my set up. A guy out on the rocks said he thought they were redfish, he was up higher and could actually see them. Oh well.

    Great video! New sub here. I canoed that stretch before. Fished a little bit and caught a nice size smallie. Wind coming out of the south was brutal though, made it for a rough paddle downstream. Bought a kayak last year and hope to fish this stretch again this year, will definitely upload a video of it. I live in the twin cities area so lots of great spots to fish and create content. I really enjoy river fishing. Got a couple of videos on my channel if you want to check it out. Keep up the good work!

Have done a ton of pier fishing in Florida over the years at Redington long pier (for decades before it fell apart) and the sunshine skyway pier in Tampa areas. Was all the surf water you found knee to waist deep? My dad's in his late 60s and I want to make sure I find good safe fishing for him on the regular on marco. Looks like fish off the jettys?

For me I was looking for some deepish (4-6fow) near the shoreline. Admittedly it may have been a little cold for a topwater as it was only 39-40 degree air temps when we launched.
