Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Yesterday I got back from my annual 2 week trip to my family's cabins in Minnesota. Fishing was good, family was good, weather was good, vacation was too short.  Made it to 8 different lakes, some of them multiple times. I fished by myself this year so getting pics was tricky at times, but I got what I could.

Random smallmouth



Random largemouth




Fishing through the rain



Good one on a swimbait



I rarely catch pike at night so this one was a surprise. He attacked a jerkbait but did more damage to himself than anything.



This snapping turtle decided the boat ramp was a great spot to lay her eggs. I didn't want to disturb her so I went to a different lake.



Tried to get some action shots.







Bad picture of a good fish



I didn't do much crappie fishing this year but they always cooperate when I do.



Loved the color on this smallie




Had a few great nights of walleye fishing early on, but the bite tapered off later in the trip. This is a limit I kept for a fish fry with my relatives.




Hybrid sunfish. Caught a bunch of these.




Brace of quality largemouth. Caught many many fish this day.



Gave the Livetarget Sunfish a workout. Doesn't cast particularly well but walks like a champ.



Love the way smallmouth smack a spinnerbait.



Topwater time



Obligatory thumb shot


Two weeks went by way too fast. I'm ready to go back now.
