September in Sunset Country

Before I hit the road in late September for the final stretch of Bassmaster Elite Series events, I took advantage of getting in the boat every chance I could around home. I'm biased but I think we have the best fishing opportunities in the World. I was able to fish a couple of tournaments and have some fun. Looking forward to some ice fishing now and already can't wait to put the boat back in the water in the spring! 

The highlight of the month was winning the Crow Lake Classic tournament with my wife Shelby. It was our third time fishing the tournament and a weekend we look forward to every year. The lake is loaded with bass and a lot of fun to fish. Thanks to the Hanson family for putting on this fun event year after year!

I also got to fish the annual Bassin' For Bucks tournament with my good pal Mike Reid. We had a great few days in the boat together and managed a fourth place finish. Another tournament that I look forward to year after year! Big thank you to the organizers of all of the events that took place this past summer around home, your hard work is apprecaited by all of the anglers!

The walleye fishing is excellent all year round - I'll be catching them through the ice in a couple of weeks - usually I'm more interested in catching a bunch of smaller ones to eat but we all love to catch these bigger ones too! This one was caught on a Z-Man Scented Jerk Shad rigged up on a jig head. 

We catch a bunch of lake trout too! 

This photo of Shelby was taken while we were prefishing for the Crow Lake tournament, it's just shows the beauty of our part of the World. We love living in NW Ontario! 

More walleye!!! 

Hopefully this Covid-19 pandemic that we've all been dealing with through 2020 will be over soon. Across Sunset Country we can't wait to see our friends from the U.S. return. Their visits are so vital to our economy here, we need to get past this virus and get that border opened back up! Stay safe everybody!
