Well heck if you spend that much time on the lake you should be a guide, I bet you would make a killing with all the fish you catch!

I finally made it out to Waco saturday, fishing pannies. Caught many sunnies, kept 7, and also caught a dozen crappies, kept 4, the largest a hair over 11". I used either an Atomic Stealth jig or a flutter bug tipped with Gulp waxie. Sure was cold. BBBrrrrr!!!

The sunnies have been REALLY tough for me the past week. So I switched to crappies. I have been mainly fishing from 9pm-3am looking for the late night bite. It has been hit and miss. I am finding lots of fish, just not many takers. 3 nights ago we got 12 and missed just as many. Most were 8-10" with 1 13". Night before last we got 1 9"er and 1 tiny eye'. Last night I went alone and got 2 missed 8-9. All fish were released to fight another day. It has been 50-50 deadsticks to jigging. Droppers have been good too! Mostly targeting deeper water now, looking for suspended fish. Saddle type areas that have hard bottom and bottom out around 25' seem to be holding alot of fish. I can't wait for warmer weather so we can start hole hopping. -8 is just a we bit cold to be outside at night brrrrrr!!!

I am guessing the debating got a little too heated in the old one. lol Anywho I was out on Sunday and finally got into some decent sunnies. Ten feet of water with weeds. Found some weeds that were actually standing up a little instead of laid over and I think it may have helped hold fish who knows??? If anyone wants the GPS coords I will start the bidding at 10 dollars. Just kiddin!!! Million dollar idea selling fishing spots on Fish-E-Bay!! If anyone goes through with it gimme some credit at least. grin

Anything going on North or Nelsons flats? I keep moving my house without much luck other than tiny sunnies and perch. I've got a friend from work comming out this weekend with the grand son and would like to put them on some fish.

Hookie what kind of fish or you looking for? sunfish are hit or miss on certain days but you will have better luck on the west side of the lake in the Center Pilsberry area in 10-12 FOW in the millfoil. Walleyes are hard to find this time of year due to the fact with all the traffic and fishing pressure. Good luck

Crappies and sunfish for the most part but if a eye swings by that would be good also. I can't tell forsure if I'm on pilsbury or center now (LOL)I'm out in about 12-13 but think I may have to move in closer. Some weeds down there but not thick by anymeans.

The taller and the thicker the milfoil seems to hold more pan fish, so my guess is move into little shallower water and give that a shot

      Might not have to wear ear plugs when I mow!      That’s a spendy one.  It wasn’t hard to find one of those for $6k.  Comparatively and Ariens of the same size is $4,200.  A home owner grade JD for $3,900.  You could get into a commercial grade Z700 for maybe $8k.   I think the work I did today with mine would’ve killed that one there.

      On the south end...   This year's MN Fishing Opener weekend was not only great weather wise, the walleyes and saugers were caught in good numbers.  A main fish gut hauler working with a number of resorts commented it was one of the most productive opening weekends he has seen based on the amount of fish guts collected after the weekend. The goto presentation was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   Four Mile Bay held good walleyes in 12 - 18'.  Not a surprise as the walleye bite on the river during the spring season was good and as of late, sturgeon anglers have been reporting catching walleyes on sturgeon rigs.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 12 - 15'.  Across the south shore, 18 - 22' was holding good numbers as well.  As you can see, there are lots of fish around.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well.   As a reminder, the limit of walleyes and saugers is a combined limit of six fish, up to four of the six can be walleyes.  All walleyes between 19.5 - 28.0 inches must be released.  One fish over 28.0 inches can be kept.  The possession limit in MN is one daily limit of fish. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers hit the lake.  10 - 15' of water was the norm.     Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season continues through May 15th and then closes until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes were caught in 18 - 25 feet of water, a little deeper than anticipated.  Points were good as were areas with structure.  The morning and evening bite was best.       As water continues to warm, go to spots for walleyes will be neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays.     The goto presentation was a jig and minnow.

      I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.
