2023 Manitoba Fishing Regulations

[blue_gold_84]

My wife went online today to get her Manitoba fishing license and discovered that Manitoba no longer has a conservation license.   

I think Ontario might be the only province that has conservation angling licenses anymore.

Another windy day, but a good day. A lot of drift fishing. Lots of walleye's on bottom bouncers, and lindy jigs. Most of the good size fish in 12-16' of water. Evening fish was all about small mouth bass. Hitting hard on 3/8 oz. spinning lures in shallow water.

Big morning on the water. A lot of 18-20" walleye's on 3/8 oz. jigs and live minnows caught off the end of our dock. Purple and white jigs are winning the day.

Finally a morning with little to no wind. Anchored at pickerel rock in 20' of water. 3/8 green and white jigs seemed to be the color today. Live of fresh frozen minnows, didn't seem to matter. My granddaughter likes the frozen minnows better. Lots under 14", but they all have go back. Limit of nice keepers all 16" -21".

Another good weekend of fishing. Little windy on Sunday so we were back to bottom bouncers and nightcrawlers in about 12-15' of water.

My buddy brought out his newer 25hp 4 stroke Yamaha. Nice looking motor and ran really well, except when idling. Idling the motor shakes so bad. He said he has taken it into the dealership twice and they say that's how they runs.  Super cheap on gas.

Good day of fishing. Catching good size walleyes in 20-22'of water on jigs and minnows.

Morning's have been excellent for walleye's. Still hanging in 20-22' of water. Small mouth bass are hitting hard in swallow water on small spinners in the afternoon.

Great day of fishing with the grandkids before they head off to the Olympics. Some really nice sized walleye's in fast moving water on double hook worm harness. Walleyes still hanging out in 18-22' of water.

Your updates make me so envious, @Pigskin. Glad to hear you and your family are slaying it!

Burying the headline a bit here... Are they competing or spectating?

Spectating.

From the reports I am getting, most of the anglers on Lake of the Woods are catching a lot of fish right now.

Well, after a one week break, back on the water this weekend. For some it was very productive, for others not so much. Fish and game was on the water all weekend and there was some very unhappy anglers. Hearing over 200 tickets handed out over the weekend. Lots of them for under size fish and over the limit.

Small mouth Bass and Perch are still biting hard, on spinning lures and crank baits. Walleye's were a little harder to find last week, but they are back this morning. Little windier this morning, so did a lot of drift fishing, with bottom bouncer and 2 hook worm harness with a brass colored spinning blade.

For those who want to know where, when to and how fish, plus what types of fish are available, then this is the thread for you!  Personally, I have learned a lot!
