On Tuesday with Brian “Shrek” Hartman, I was blessed with a pig of a northern, the biggest of my life. It was awesome and a day I will remember this day for the rest of my life. Thanks for all the help Shrek and I look forward to fishing and hunting with you again in a few weeks.
This past Saturday and Sunday the 12th Annual North Star Fall Walleye Classic was held and congratulations must go to Terry Wiczek and Les Morrison. They pulled in with prize money and door prizes over $4,000.00, that’s an awesome day! Total tournament information will be posted on our website. We are excited about next year all ready. There will also be a couple more changes to enhance the tournament. This is a great event and should be enjoyed by the whole family. We look forward to planning the next event and look forward to seeing you all there.

Today’s fishing report will be provided by me and Billy “The Sniper” Kloos. The past few days we’ve been spending our time over north of Zipple Bay in 29 -32 feet of water. We’ve been anchored and jigging those frozen shiners. The past few days it was orange, chartreuse and gold, today it was pink white and gold. I also heard through the grapevine that it might be good to have some crawlers with you also. I haven’t personally used them, but the info was from a great source. Yesterday I started the day off with Brian “Shrek” Hartman and we were pulling plugs in 20 feet of water out in front of Zipple Bay. The wind was up so we tried something closer to shore. Within the first ten minutes I thought I had a snag, but it was just a 41” slimmer…it was awesome!! If you can’t make it to Lake of the Wood this week, make sure you’re here next week. The Shiners haven’t started their run, but as soon as they do I’ll let you know. You can purchase your Jigs, Frozen Shiners, Rapalas and Reef Runners from the same place that I get mine, Log Cabin Bait and Tackle, which is about ¾ of a mile south of the Wigwam on 172. I must state this again, in my 18 years of fishing Lake of the Woods; I’ve never seen the fishing this good on such a consistent basis. Don’t wait too long to make your plans to visit us, because you never know how long it will last. Keep checking out the fishing report, and I’ll give you all the hard facts as soon as I find out where they’re hiding next. Good luck and Happy Fishing to all! Thanks for fishing with us and visiting with us at the Wigwam Resort on Lake of the Woods.
Happy Fishing to all, and to all a good day.
