Gull Lake Slot Limit!


Recommended Posts

That is a ridiculous story and you guys and the resort owner should not be harrassing someone like that. One large trophy fish between 2 guys is legal and fine in my book. If that's what they were planning(taking to the Taxidermist). It would be different if they were cutting it up in front of you, as there are plenty of eater size walleyes in LOW. You guys should've, in a descent way, tried to explain your point of veiw and left it at that.

I agree with the fish between 14"-19" but not for the one over 28" I would just take a photo and release it. Most of those bigger fish are females and may be or going to be in the future loaded whith eggs and need to go back to re-produce. A picture and mesurement is all you need to have a composite made...WM cool.gif

I know it's very informal and unscientific. But did you send this off to Brastrup?

Thanks for doing it Jason and it would be interesting to hear Brastrup's reaction.

i like the idea of the slot on gull. 4 fish limit up to 19" and one over 28" if you want to keep. i have caught 3 out there 30" to 31.5" and there all swiming yet.

4 fish per day is a great idea with a slot limit of 20 " with 1 over 26 or 28 " ! gull has not produced that many fish to take 6! if you happen to luck out on a hot bite . the bite is there one day and then you wont find them again for a week and even longer . i live just a long cast from gull and fish it as often as time permits , with eyes and crappies being the game choice. walleye are there but not to the extent they were say 5 years ago. lets do something to ensure the reproduction of our favorite fish. djwood

Hi Ron, I sent it to Tim the other day. I haven't heard back from him. But I think the poll went pretty well. It was interesting.

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  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"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.
