Default 2018 season in a nut shell

Well my season started off with a couple of epic fishing days in the Southern AB reservoirs. Then it seemed to go from 100 - 0 mph. I caught fish all year long but some days were sslloowwwww.

Then I was out yesterday freezing my butt off in the fog and the bite was back to epic ! The fog was so thick I was lost in minutes. Glad the sonar records tracks so I hit all my favourite waypoints and slammed some nice toothy critters.

I really hope I can stretch the next several weeks being on the water. I love fall fishing as all the weekend warriors and their ski boats are gone.

Dodger.

Agreed. Had a few eery days last fall on wab. Where you cant see 10 yards beyond the boat because of fog. But man o man was the bite fierce!! hoping to get a few more times too. Dress warm!!

I wouldn't say I have had an awesome year this year compared to others, The bit was very slow for us yesterday but we did manage to get a couple good walleyes.


I fully agree with fall fishing though, now that all the dude/bro's and there boats are off the lake, yesterday was peace and quiet out there!

Didn't get out a whole lot this year, but I managed to catch my PB pike and caught some cool tigers in Blood Indian. Also finally managed to get some decent browns out of there too.

So far nothing special, I only fished 4 times this open water season, once at Bow and 3 times in Red Deer River - tons of small walleye, couple saugers, around 20 goldeye, numerous short head red horse and long nose suckers and one 6lbs pike. Hoping October will bring at least few keeper walleye and one or two burbot.
