Inland lakes
Fully Kraeusened posted a topic in Crane-Kabetogama-Namakan-Rainy-Rainy River Fishing Reports
Wondering if any of you ever fish the inland lakes throughout Voyageurs and if so which ones? I have fished the Locator chain, Ek and Net lakes. My favorite of those three is definitely Locator. Seems to have a lot of northern and I also caught a good sized largemouth. Had a rough day on Ek. Was fishing with light tackle because I’ve been told it’s a good crappie lake and was broken off once otherwise nothing. One small pike on Net. This is a picture of the bass from Locator. -
Down riggers in Voyageurs
Fully Kraeusened posted a topic in Crane-Kabetogama-Namakan-Rainy-Rainy River Fishing Reports
Hey guys. I’m new to this site. I’ll be visiting the park early June. While I have made several trips up there I’ll be bringing a friend who never has. He is a very experienced angler, but has yet to catch a walleye. A lot of his experience comes from using down riggers on Lake Michigan. He was asking about using them on a vacation this year and I had no answer for him. I can’t recall ever seeing anyone using that method in Voyageurs. Does anyone have a thought on this? I’d appreciate any advice. Want my buddy to have a great trip! Tight lines! Fully Kraeusened -
Good Opening Weekend on Kab
Kab Kid posted a topic in Crane-Kabetogama-Namakan-Rainy-Rainy River Fishing Reports
Good opening weekend...great weather for opener and more boats than normal I would say. Fishing was good, not great. I'm sure others have differing opinions, but for us we found larger walleyes in 6-12 feet when pitching jigs. You had to put up with the large number of small northern that must have been hungry! Most of our walleyes came by way of a jig and minnow, in 30-35 ft of water...most of these 9-13" and went back, but every 4-5 fish was keepable and a fair number of sauger's were in the mix. Problem was you could catch 3-5 fish in a spot and then you needed to move. So, lots of bo -
Fall Smallmouth Fishing Namakan/Sand Point/Crane
Slopfishin posted a topic in Crane-Kabetogama-Namakan-Rainy-Rainy River Fishing Reports
I realize that walleye is kind up there, but was hoping there were some smallie fishermen here on the board that could give me some advice on the fall smallmouth fishing on Namakan, Sand Point and Crane. I've been coming up there for many years to fish for smallies in the springtime but have never tried it there in the Fall. Was thinking that I may try my hand at some fall smallmouth up there while they're trying to fatten up for the winter. Right now I am planning on coming up at the end of September. I'm hoping to find the fish in less than 20 feet of water. Jigs, tubes, jerkbaits -

kabetogama Namakan Kabetogama Fiahing Reports
fishin posted a topic in Crane-Kabetogama-Namakan-Rainy-Rainy River Fishing Reports
Wind set the pace for anglers this past week. Some thought it was too much of a good thing. Windblown shorelines were good to anglers that could manage boat control and stay in the 10-15’ depth. Baitfish get directed into those shorelines which usually leads to good fishing. If the wind dies down at anytime, or the following day, concentrate your efforts accordingly for great results. A suggested method of fishing while the winds are blowing, is troll artificial lures at depths between 12-16’, or use lead line and troll deeper waters. All fish species relate well to this, and boat control i -

blueberries Blueberries?
Map Guy posted a topic in Crane-Kabetogama-Namakan-Rainy-Rainy River Fishing Reports
Just wondering if anyone is seeing any blueberries yet? We're headed up to Namakan on Thur. 7/9 and we'll be looking. Are the best areas the sunny slopes of shorelines? Thanks for any help. I'll post what we find.
