Gold Has A New Color-Green!

Just returned from a trip to Lake Winnipeg in search of the elusive "greenback" walleyes.  This is one of the few places in the world that I know of where on any hook set you may have a 15lb walleye pulling back.  I was joined on this outing by Heath, Pete, and we fished with local guide Jason Hamilton.  It was everything I could have expected.  I managed to land a 29" and 28" slob "greenback" on the last day. 

We caught all of our fish jigging large artificial baits.  Many of the fish were in water as shallow as 4 feet under the ice.  I learned a lot and it was a very interesting way of fishing.  Can tell you that this scouting trip has me jacked for next years outing.  Until next year, I am going to be stowing the ice fishing gear and getting the boat on open water very soon.  I think I can hear the river calling my name.  Fish On!
