Any recent Cass lake fishing reports?

[minnesotakid25]

Heading up to Cass this weekend for a family reunion and thought I would chase some walleye for a couple days. Any body have any reports? Not looking for spots just your general info. What kind of bait and depths is about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Was able to make it out for a couple of hours in the evenings this weekend. We were able to get some eyes in the boat but we had to work for them. Found out that a bug hatch had happened earlier in the week and was one that seemed to be happening this weekend as well. Also found out that the water temp the week before was around 70 and this weekend it was around 65. With that said we stumbled onto some fish in about 13-16ft. A crawler on a white jig trolled at .6-.9 mph seemed to be the ticket for us. It wasn't fast and furious but it was nice to be on the water and get at least a few fish in the box.

We were there last week and it was windy (from the East at 12-15 mph) and really overcast....mostly in the upper 60's. We caught tons of "cigars" on jig'n'shiner.

Most of our week was spent chasing Rockies, Gills, and LMB.  The Perch were somewhat dormant and the Northern non-existent but my buddie's son's friend caught a 36" 10.5lb Musk while trying for Northern over in "the Kettle" area.

Is there every a time when the bug hatch didn't "just happen last week" or is happening while you're there?  That lake must have 50 bug hatches each year!!   Nice work on the eyes.

Lol! As far as the "bug hatch last week" thing, I couldn't say as I was not there. But I can tell you that when I was there this past weekend I did find large areas of floating bug carcasses. When we would troll thru them the locator would be solid from the top to the bottom. And the fish were snapping them up like crazy! I'm guessing they were tulibee but there sure were a lot of them! Gonna give it a go again over the 4th and see what happens. Hopefully the fish will be biting better! But I guess that's why they call it fishing and not catching! Good luck and tight lines!

Yep!! that was a bug hatch under your boat!   They come up from the mud and completely cover up the graph!   I'm heading up on July 2nd for a week.. Shoot me a message with your name and number and maybe we can share info,,,if interested.

I was up there for  weeks.  Horrible weather with storm after storm.  Tons of smalls eyes around.   Better fish were actibe at night.  Usually late at night trolling cranks.  Ended up with a lot of 16-20" eyes. 

Different flavor of bugs hatching every day.  Some were worse than others.
