My buddies & I are going to be staying at Red Pine Resort on Kab, June 9-16. Can anyone give us some ideas as far as technique and also what is a likely depth to fish for walleyes. I tend towards a jig/minnow combo, but a couple of the guys have never fished this way. Any info would be appreciated.

Gremlin,
You should concentrate on 10 to 15 feet of water, and run a 6 foot snell with a floater. The larger fish tend to be suspended at this time of the year. I used to fish the area for years before becoming a resort owner in my present area! Good luck!

Gremin, if it's anything like last year at this time, we had wind blowin from the east all week we limited out everyday on the reef's using bottom bouncers and hammered gold spinners ,five foot snells with multi colored line, they really hit this rig hard. you could jig also! we were fishin anywhere from 16 to 26 feet on the windy side of the reefs , ill be up the same week. depending on water temp's since it was a later then usual ice out thing's might be different, be sure to keep that spinner blade movin back trollin. Good luck!

grin.gif Hey Marbles!Are you the same one that sat in the front of my boat last year,and netted my fish for me?Youda man when it comes to netting!This year however I intend to enlighten you on some new methods that will require your utmost attention! (That should be read as sober thought.)
First,you will need to obtain permission from the better half to spend an adequate amount of time on the water.Upon arrival at th e dock I will begin to address the finer issues of dusting off the reels!From there we move on to bottom bouncers and spinners,bottom bouncers and spinners,repeat after me,bottom bouncers and spinners!Finally, after a long arduous day on the water,I shall hand you my rapala fillet knife as I retire to your cabin and partake in a discussion with Mr. Windsor!GET THE NET!

Hey marbles mentor your right i am the man , only you have it a little backwards (must be that your getting old and can't remember! {constantly netting my BIG FISH}, but this year when you take my picture releasing all my BIG FISH make sure you get me in the photo with the fish and not just the fish! I have dusted the reels and im ready to go, one of these days i may have to use the wife for a sea anchor. she gave me permission to go, {marble eyes watch out im on the loose again}!

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
