Pine Island doing anything?

[ethan77]

Going up at the end of feb and was wondering if Pine island has picked up any? We were there the end of last month adn did not do so well, so we ventured over to 16 mile and done much better.... jsut wondering if we need to do the same this time. Any info would be helpful

Had some guys out last week with portables fishing near the Pine Island and Morris Gap area and they did well on big fish. Not so many eaters, but they took home 2 29" and also released lots of big fish. Should get better and better as the warm weather approaches.<P>------------------<BR>Terri Fischbach of Walleye Retreat

We will be up friday morning about 8miles out of Adrian's road.<BR>Has anyone heard about that area? and how about shiner supply in Baudette?

Bring an extension for your auger. Ice was pretty thick out there, barely got through with a 12" extension. Fishing was poor for us on Saturday lots of tulibee. I suggest moving West towards Arnesons reef.<P>Milkdud

Milkdud seems correct. We had the same experience last weekend. 16 mile was the best for us. 30' of water. Lots of nice sized eaters and a few over 19.5.<BR>Pine was slow except a few nice sauger and whitefish.

Jar Mar: Adrians resort has shiners, as does Lucky's bait in Baudette. To be honest the fatheads were outperforming the Shiners this weekend over Pine near the gap. Good luck and hang on. Bill

MilkDud, where/how were you catching the tulibee ? Thanks, Tom<P>------------------<BR>

tjz123, I was about 9-10 miles out past pine island to the east side of Adrian's road in about 30 feet of water. I was marking fish like crazy later found out that they were tulibee. Started catching them consistently using a small forage minnow with treble hook (pink,blue,glow) and a fathead minnow pinched in half. <P>Milkdud

talk about tulibee- thats all we caught for three straight hours saturday- we were out of adrians road all the way to the end of it, past the 'mice' house. they gobbled all our ahiners down, lucky I kept our frozen crappie minnows from red lake the previous night. got 5 walleyes, 4 monster 'pout and 40 tulibee. am going to smoke the two I kept. any good recipes for tulibees?
