    I fished walleyes yesterday, but was witness to a big pile of monster crappies yesterday from a few of our other guides chasing papermouths. Trust me my Electric fillet knive was hot after helping with that action. KUDOS BOYS!!! Big Big Slabs!!! Several 15 inch fish, and several crappies hitting the wall. I’m thinking walleyes second and slabs first for todays trip!! Action only looks to get better!!!

    Good to hear the slabs are still on the chew.

    Bob from Custom Jigs stopped by yesterday to drop off some of your go-to flu-flus and a B-fish order yesterday.What have been your best colors up there Chris?

    The Crappies are still on the move, eh?
    My wife and I were at the cabin on Grassy Portage Bay last week. Fishing was slow but steady but I did pull up some good sized Crappies. Rather odd to be pulling Crappies from Grassy in late August/early September: Usually they bugger out of that bay by mid-June. Grassy’s not overly deep and it heats up quick (comparatively speaking).

    I was using a chartreuse little joe with no sinkers. I had better luck skimming the surface than going deep.

    Buddy, you’re killing me. October can’t come fast enough.

    Save a few of those crappies for when I get there, OK?

    I’ll try, but they are fearing the Daze Fish Casket now with good reason!
