We’re back in Canada for our 11th annual Sponsor Outing, and once again, we’re spending it with Julian Kalka and the wonderful folks at Andy Myers Lodge on beautiful Eagle Lake. There’s a reason we keep coming back! The fishing is outstanding, the meals are taken care of, and the lodge is a great place to relax, swap fish stories, and spend time with the people who help make our show possible.

Fall is one of our favorite times to fish Eagle Lake. Walleyes, bass, muskies and northern pike are all active as they feed ahead of the long winter. With three days on the water, we have plenty of time to explore and see what’s biting.

On our first day, we head out with Danny Herbeck to target bass and walleyes. We start at a rocky hump where Danny has enjoyed some great bass fishing, and it doesn't take long for the action to get going. The bite stays hot, and we stick with it until we've had our fill and decide it's time to switch things up and look for walleyes.

Danny warned us that the walleye fishing could be a little tougher, as the fish begin spreading out as winter approaches. Finding them schooled up isn't quite as easy this time of year, but we still manage to connect with a few. Then comes an unexpected bonus: a beautiful muskie takes a liking to John's trusty Kalin's Jerk Minnow while we're fishing for walleyes. The fish is hooked perfectly in the corner of the mouth, making for an incredible surprise on our walleye gear!

We finish the day checking a few more bass and walleye spots on our way back to the lodge by dark. It’s been a fantastic start to the trip, and even better, we get to share it with two of our sponsors, Kolo from Minn Kota and Len from AMSOIL. Both had a blast catching fish throughout the day.

A huge thank-you to all of our sponsors for their continued support. Without you, we couldn't do what we do, and our annual trip to Andy Myers Lodge is a great reminder of how much fun it is to bring everyone together.
