Help on fish trap and alexander


Recommended Posts

Hey guys looking for some help on these two lakes.  My family booked a cabin on fish trap the last weekend of the month.  Looking for some pointers on eyes and crappies for presentation and locations to check out.  I hear that its super clear so fish low light and that's about it.  TIA for any help you can offer.

Think shallower at the end of August.  The walleye, especially on fishtrap, seem to move up in August.  8 to 20 ft is where most should be.  Redtails and pike suckers start to shine this time of year.  leeches should still produce though.

Crappies will be near the deep weed edges at this time as well.  Jigs and twister tails are the go to for crappies for me.

I havent been out on these lakes in while so current locations i am not much help.

Thank you for the heads up.   I wonder why they are moving shallow.   You would think the water temp would still be high.  Thoughts?

not real sure, just a pattern that we have found over the years.  obviously things can differ day to day, however every August we find walleyes stupid shallow.  Weeds near rocky shores often is the ticket.  I assume it has to do with some preferred forage.

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
