Back from Florida with Mom and Dad

Cathie and I went to Florida April 10th to visit my parents and return home with them. I opted not to post while we were in Florida. The weather in International Falls changed drastically while we were gone. Some times timing is just right. There was snow, cold rain and generally colder weather.

To day I ventured out on Rainy Lake with friends Pat and Jim. We checked out bays for water temperatures and did a little casting for northern pike. Water temps were from 41 -47 degrees on the south side of the lake.

My son Joey was out with Andrew and Chad from Iowa, they fished northern pike and had fabulous action with northern pike from 35-41 inches. I am still predicting fabulous May fishing, April has been really good for pike. There is still time to come up for unreal pike fishing, you don't have to go to Manitoba or Saskatchewan to catch big pike. I have available days up to May 12 if you want to venture up to Rainy Lake for awesome spring pike fishing. Our guides are the best Rainy Lake has to offer, take advantage, learn great techniques and catch some big ones! Below are a few pictures of the pike Joey, Andrew, and Chad caught. We still have have openings between May 12 and June 1st, houseboat rates are 20% off boat weekly and daily rates.
