Arrived at Rainy Lake early Saturday evening to beautiful weather. Got out a little bit late Saturday and landed one nice 22" walleye. Had an all day trip booked with Rainydaze for Sunday. Met RD at the ramp at 8:00 AM Sunday in the rain. The rain and lightning ran us off the lake after just 2 hours. We had one hard fighting 20" walleye to show for our efforts. Caught it on a minnow under a split-shot in about 24-feet. We decided to finish out the trip on Monday from 4-10 PM. The wind on the main lake made it unfishable Monday so we headed to the river just west of the bridge at Rainier. After 2 hours, no fish and tornado-like winds we called it a day. Decided to let the wind die down Tuesday and to resume the trip on Wednesday. Finally got in 4 hours of fishing Wednesday morning, limiting out on walleye by fishing Sand Bay humps in 22-feet to 28-feet with a crawler below a split-shot. We released a number of walleye over 17-inches and one fat 18-inch smallmouth. RD showed a lot of patience with me, taking 3 days to complete an 8-hour guide trip. We still battled 6-ft rollers on the main lake around 11:30 AM Wednesday. Thursday and Friday were much better weather wise. Found water surface temperatures during the week between 77-degrees Saturday evening in Black Bay to 56-degrees Wednesday afternoon around the north side of Dryweed Island. Best lure, by far, was a size 10 glass perch colored husky jerk. Thanks to RD for the education and to Bill at the 1-stop for all of their help.

Hey Buddy!

It was great having you. Weather of course was a bit sketchy, but oh well! Not worth a lightning strike I guess huh! Glad we were able to get your trip in and land some nice eyes! Give me a shout next time your up! I'll be sure to put on my wind jacket! Ha! Take care and Good Fishing! Hey send me your email address again to [email protected] I think you should give Ice fishing a try! At least we'll be able to get into the heated house then.

RD

      New tower for the west end

      By PSU · Posted

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      By Rick G · Posted

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.

      Crane Lake and Sand Point Mid May 2024 Fishing

      The water looks low but appears to be on the rise. We will be there  the week after opener. I have been going since 1981 and enjoying the experience. We love the variety of fish we catch and release each year. Ice went out a bit earlier than in years past. Water may be warmer and plan to target some crappies. We fish predominately in Sand Point as we camp. Good luck all and tight lines. We may consider the hike to Lake Lucille which we did 2 years ago.
