Well the rain has finally stopped and we have a beautiful, sunny day today. Fishing on Cass Lake has picked up. There are some walleye being caught in 20 to 25 feet of water using shinners. In the evening, they are finding them in shallower, around the weed lines.
Hope you will be able to get up north this weekend. Maybe you can get in some fishing or hunting and enjoy the great Fall weather.
Stop in and say Hi when your in the area.
Good fishing,

Froggy's Hunting Trip
October 9, 2008
Mike, from Anchorage, Alaska asked for an update on Froggy's hunting trip and duck hunting in the area. So here goes: Froggy and his buddy Troy each got 3 whitetail deer with their bows. They had one real cold night, when the heater wouldn't work in their tent. Guess they had to snuggle a little. What are buddies for! Froggy said he was glad to get home and sleep in his own bed.
Froggy had a mountain lion walk right under his stand one night. He said that didn't bother him; it was when it got dark and he had to leave the stand, that the hair stood up on his neck and he made a bee-line for the camp!
Elk were bugling in the field where the deer usually come out to feed; so they had to hike further up the mountain to where the deer were being chased. Troy's dad, the "Old Timer" also went along. He had just gotten out of the hospital about a month ago from a serious head injury. Froggy said he made it up to the top of the mountain. Way to go "Old Timer". You've come a long way in just a couple of months.
On the way through the Dakotas they had a successful rifle hunt for antelope. Froggy makes the best wild rice dish with mushrooms and antelope you have ever tasted. It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
They found a little mexican restaurant along the way and Froggy said it was the best he had tasted since his honeymoon in Mexico.
All in all they had a great trip and their deer and antelope are being processed. Froggy made an l8 hour trip home, non-stop. He says he's not going to do that again. He was really wiped out.
Now to duck hunting. I had heard earlier that the ducks were scarce, but most of the groups that stopped in had fairly good luck. If you found the right spot, the ducks were plentiful.
We had the cystic fibrosis tournament too last weekend out of Break on the Lake. There was one walleye weighing in at a little over 6 lbs and one over 5 lbs. The first place winners came in with a catch just over 17 pounds.
It seemed to be a good weekend for duck hunting and fishing.
Take care, now. Stop in and see us when you can.
Hey, Mike, do you duck hunt around Anchorage? Keep in touch with us.

Fishing Report
October 2, 2008
Froggy is gone this week, bow hunting in Wyoming and on their way back, they will rifle hunt for antelope in the Dakotas. It's his yearly hunt him and his buddy Troy and Troy's Dad have done for the past few years. They always have good hunting and lots of fun. We'll hear lots of hunting stories when they get back!
Fishing on Cass has been good. Mobile seems to be the way to go. Some guys are catching limits around 8 to 10 feet and then again we're hearing around 20 feet. Jig and minnow are what they're using.
Sucker Bay on Leech has been doing well, using fatheads and rainbows. Weather has been great.
We have duck hunters coming up this weekend and I hope they will get a chance to get in a little fishing too. With weather like this, it's just great to get out and enjoy it.
Hope when your up in the area, you will stop in to say Hi.

Leech Lake has been doing really well for perch and walleye. Guys out on Cass are finding the walleye up shallower now. 8 to 10 feet seems to be the key. Minnows and crawlers are the favorite bait.
It's a great time to be out fishing and enjoying the great weather.
Good fishing.

Weather has been great this week and the fishing has picked up on the area lakes. Minnows seem to be the key. Fatheads, shiners and of course the redtails, seem to be doing the trick.
With the walleye and northern catch going on and the great weather; what more can be ask for! Working in about 20 feet of water during the day seems to be working and then off the weed lines in the evening.
We were really down on our bear registration this year. With all the berries and nuts still in the woods, they just weren't coming to the baits like they should. Everything is still a couple of weeks behind for us.
Good fishing.
Froggy
P.S. Thanks again Mike for the halibut and the salmon jerky recipe We are sending the jerky recipe on to a couple of our friends and boy, are we ever enjoying that halibut!

Weather has been cooling down and fishing has been picking up the last couple of days on Cass Lake. Guys are fishing the breaks and bars, 15 to 40 feet. Right now the key seems to be being mobile. Minnow seems to be the main bait being used.
Winnie has been doing well and northern have been biting on Big Wolf. We have the best fishing yet to come with fall still ahead of us.
Good fishing.

Where has the summer gone to? We had such a late start this spring, it just doesn't seem like it should be September already.
Fishing has been on the slow side on Cass Lake. Winnie and Leech seem to be producing a few more walleyes. Guys have been having some luck with northern and panfish though. Yesterday, we weighed a crappy that went 17 inches and 2 lbs and 7 ounces. That was a real dandy! Sounds like the weather should be cooling off the middle of this week. Best fishing is yet to come!
Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday weekend.
Good fishing!
