Recently, while I was organizing trays of crank baits in all shapes, sizes, and colors preparing for the upcoming “big boy trip” to Canada a question arose. A lady friend of mine asked, “Matt, if you could only take one of those crank baits to Canada with you, which would you choose and why?” I…

Beautiful Prescott, MN, on the Mighty Miss
by Gary Speicher, NPAA #128 •
I shot some video as I pulled out of the town of Prescott, MN, on my way to day four pre-fishing for the FLW Walleye Tour Western Division first tournament on Pool 3 of the Mississippi River. Caught two and let them go. Lost some cranks today while pulling leadcore with cranks and the nice…
Day 4 Pre-Fishing Report from Red Wing.
by Gary Speicher, NPAA #128 •
We put the Lund Explorer in at Prescott at 7am this morning. We then worked our way downriver checking spots Dave and I fished the previous day. We caught only two and unfortunately lost some nice crankbaits, too! Found out that I am paired with Jeremy Evans for tomorrow. He’s a local from Hastings and…
2nd Day Pool 3 Pre-fishing.
by Gary Speicher, NPAA #128 •
Dave DeDecker and I put the Lund Explorer in at Diamond Bluffs early this morning. We pulled lead core and cranks on a commonly fished spot with no takers. Then we went to three-way rigs with double shallow running Shad Raps and pulled two nice ones within a short distance! Unfortunately, that was it for…

Gary caught some video of Dave catching a sauger on Pool 3 up at Red Wing. You can check the video out here. It’s not too big but Gary assures me that they got into some larger fish but he didn’t want to advertise where they were to all the other pro anglers. Well…maybe when…

Prefishing Red Wing – Gary reports in.
by Mike Ganzeveld •
Just got an email from Gary updating me on how pre-fishing is going up at Red Wing. Sounds like he’s had some luck! Dave Dedecker from Davenport joined me in the Lund Explorer for today’s prefishing at the FLW walleye Tour Western Division event on Pool 3 of the mighty Mississippi River! Neither one of…
Lac Seul fishing report.
by Mike Ganzeveld •
Hi, Walleye Wisdom readers! I just got off the phone with Scott Angrove of Golden Eagle Resort in Ear Falls, Ontario and he had some good news to report. As you may already know, ice out was very early this year, April 10th to be exact, so naturally the spawn got underway accordingly. Right now…
Gary and Mia show off their new bait.
by Mike Ganzeveld •
Gary mail ordered some leeches and crawlers from Jewell Outdoors and they arrived promptly the very next day so we decided to shoot a little video with some help from Mia Hodson! As you can see from the shaky camera work you don’t want me performing any delicate surgery! Regardless, as you can see from…
Lac Seul Walleye Takes a Leech below a Slip Float
by Gary Speicher, NPAA #128 •
A couple years ago at Lake Lac Seul, Matt and I found an area between two islands with lots of stickups. We threw number 5 and number 7 Shad Raps and caught some active fish on cranks in the timber. The wind was blowing from the southwest right down through the “chute” between the islands…
