Just got back from Rainy Lake and let me tell you all that the fishing was nothing short of legendary. The H20 jigs that RD prescribed are the real deal. Got so bored boating walleye that I went shallow and began to jig on the reefs for pike.
Yep as you can imagine everyone through the lip just like the textbook shows you. Words for the wise I was checked twice by the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police). Had all my paperwork in order (remote border crossing permit etc..)and all of the necessary equipment for fishing the Canadian side. Be Aware that booze in the boat in Canada is a BIG NO NO do not even try, just crack a cold one when you are back at the cabin or wherever. I did not even have time to think about beer I was so busy landing fish. Big thank you to RD for keeping all of us up to date with what is happening on the lake. The fish in the photo is 27 inches on the “judge” . Landed her @ 6:45 am in about 11 feet of water on the transition from hard rock bottom to heavy gravel with a bit of clay. My wife was not happy when I got her out of bed to shoot the photo until she saw the size of the fish. Thought it was a Carp that I had snagged when I got her close to the boat.
RD keep up the good work
Your biggest fan
