MANITOBA
The Mid-Canada RV and Boat Show Sale is currently being held at the Winnipeg Convention Center. You can come down and pick up a copy of the latest Edition of Hooked Magazine.
The Hooked Booth is right by the main entrance so make sure to drop by. Our Special Edition is hot off the press and our cover features Sarah Henuset, a hardcore angler whose special passion is fishing especially through the ice for big pike. You can catch her at the Piccadilly RV booth at the show. Yesterday she dropped around to say hi and it was great to actually meet her in person.
My friend Darrin Bohonis is also at the show in the Humminbird/Minnkota booth showing off the latest in electronics including the new Xplore series and the Mega Live 2. There are a ton of good deals if one is looking for a new boat or RV!
Sarah Henuset just got back from five days camping on the ice at Lake Athapapuskow. They got into an intense burbot bite. This species can be a lot of fun to catch and they are way more active at night. Sarah is friends with guide Daryl Gilbert and his girlfriend and guide Emm! Daryl shows us how to rig a dead bait for big lakers.
Perch and walleye action is heating up on Lake Manitoba. According to the latest creel numbers from Manitoba Fisheries walleye numbers are really up over the last six years. Perch have also come back in the lake. Speaking of perch West Shoal Lake continues to produce.

Weather fluctuations are slowing things down on the ice fishing front. Whitefish action on Lake Diefenbaker has been one of the more consistent bites going on in the province right now. Last Mountain and Tobin Lake have been decent for walleye with some big fish caught.
Editor’s Note: I have been extremely busy, so apologize for the short report. I will be adding to this edition as I get time over the weekend.
