There is a bond amongst those who we share time with in a boat or in the outdoors. It might be with our parents or grandparents who get us out fishing as kids, friends we spend time learning how to fish with, or that person who we take many weekend […]
This time of year is always a little bit depressing for those of us who love bass fishing and competing in tournaments around the region. Although I really enjoy the fall season and all the fun that comes with it, it’s always a little disappointing to know we won’t get […]
Three fishing tournaments took place over the weekend here in Sunset Country and three different species were the targets. In Nestor Falls, the third-annual Musky Cup took place on Lake of the Woods while the Shoal Lake Last Chance bass tournament happened on Shoal Lake and a bass/walleye combination tournament […]

Across the Sunset Country region, muskies are the fish species that comes to mind when people think about big fish. It’s for good reason because we have some of the best musky fisheries in the world right here in our backyard. Lake of the Woods, Rainy Lake, Wabigoon Lake, and […]
The 27th-annual Kenora Bass International went down as one of the best ever this past weekend on Lake of the Woods. Some 140 teams participated in this year’s event—the highest number in several years. The weather also was great throughout the event and by the time things were said and […]
As has been the case for the past 15 years, the past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind for me. The week in Fort Frances for the Canadian Bass Championship was hectic to say the least. Then I spent most of last week guiding clients on Lake of the […]
The 20th-annual Fort Frances Canadian Bass Championship took place this past weekend on Rainy Lake. It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since the tournament started thanks to a group of people in Fort Frances who saw the great smallmouth fishery that exists on Rainy Lake and made it […]
