~~LATEST..REPORTS.&.EVENTS~~
( February 1, 2012 )
Pokegama has some of those pressure ridges. Most trucks are driving out of Kings and Mish landings. The walleye bite has been spotty lately. One can still expect a few bites during that morning and evening prime time. Being mobile is key to success this time of year. Keep moving and switching things up. You only have a short window. Do what you can. When the fish are finicky like they have been lately, don't hesitate to throw a chub or small shiner on a single hook underneath a bobber. Watch the vexilar and see how they react. There are still some hogs being caught out there. Brock caught a 29" eyeball on Tuesday evening. The pike action has been really good lately. Tip ups and dark house spearers are having lots of action. Topps and Lindsey speared some good pike on Saturday morning including a 37". It was a big fish fry at the Toppers on Sunday. Panfish action is still consistent in Tioga Bay.
Lake of the Woods was really slow this past weekend. Colt and Ben hit it up Friday evening to Sunday. A cold front pushed through Friday and made fishing pretty slow. They caught enough to eat, but reported lots of lookers and few biters on the vexilars. Look for the walleye action to heat back up again mid week. The best bite the last few weeks has been 6-9 miles out from the Baudette area. Truck travel is very good.
Mobility has been the key on Red Lake for the past few weeks. Some fishermen are getting them and others are not at all. The pond is big and one can't cover much water in an ice house. When the weather is good, punch lots of holes with the Strikemaster and move around. This method on Red will put walleyes on the ice and lots of them. The majority of fish being caught are out in 14 feet of water 4+ miles out. If you're not marking them, keep trolling.
Winnibigoshish and Leech were both consistent this past weekend for perch and a few bonus walleyes. The evening hours have been fair to good on the NW humps on Winni in 20-24fow for eyes. Perch have been found a little deeper in 25-32fow. Look for perch in Portage Bay on Leech in 10-14fow. Walleyes have been biting on the deeper humps in Walker Bay and around Goose Islands and Stony Point on Leech.
Panfish action has been good on most of the dark bog stained lakes around the Grand Rapids area. Pick a lake and hit it. Unravel your next top secret slap lake. We got hundreds to choose from, grab a map, load up the snowmobile, and go fish! Good Luck.
The HLO Crew is leaving Thursday to Atikokan, Canada. Our journey, hog 20+ lb lake trout. The drags will be buzzzzzin! Wish us luck. Post some pics and a great story when we get back.
Follow us on facebook for daily fishing reports and additional pictures. Good luck and BE SAFE!

Our goal is to provide you with a high quality experience of the outdoors while educating you with the essential skills needed to be more successful when afield. Whether, it is a guided fishing, hunting, or snowmobile trip; to land management, map making, or aerial photography; to even viewing the intense video footage of our outdoor experiences, and reading our weekly articles; we would like you to come Hang Loose Outdoors with us!
Hang Loose Outdoors is a group of committed friends who share incredible enthusiasm for all the thrills the outdoors offer. We strive for maximum enjoyment, pursuing our outdoor adventures while swinging a video camera around in hopes to capture our passion, humor, catches, and kills. Whether, it's putting fish on the ice to following a blood trail; the camera is rolling, we are having a blast, and the whole experience is built upon.
Our videos along with our weekly stories and outdoor journals present the accomplishments as well as the challenges that Northern Minnesota offers to the avid fisherman, hunter, or outdoor enthusiast. They show and tell reality as well as convey our distinct skills, talents, and experiences that we bring forth. They also share the latest fishing reports, tips, and techniques to help you become more accomplished.
While consistently educating and helping our clients and friends be more successful in the field, we also are working hard to constantly improve and develop upon our own skills and talents. These last few years we have entered additional fishing tournaments throughout the spring and summer and competed against some of the best regional fisherman around. The things we learn in a weekend of competition are priceless. No matter how we finish; countless tactics are learned and observed, presentations are improved upon, and friendship and bonds are tied. If you want to improve your outdoor knowledge or skills, learn a particular body of water, or just enjoy a day of excitement and thrill Please Come Join Us On A Journey!
