will be heading out tomarow in the am by myself in the afternoon with my son.

saw people catching perch on cannon where the river runs out most small 6 to 8 inches on crappie minnows.

watched 2 guys pull in a few panfish on roberts along the docks as i pumped a septic system.

i also seen alot of people on the north east side of elysian.

where i go in the morring will depend on the weather.

Well, i ended up hitting Elysian today with no luck. Had two bites, but couldn't get anything on. It sounded like it was tough on most people, although there was a TON of people there. Can't complain though, the weather was nearly perfect!

Took my 11 year old son w/ me yesterday evening to cannon lake under the bridge of C 12. It was about 7pm and dark when we got there. Fished for 2 hrs with glow bobbers and nightcrawlers and got nuthin. There were a couple of other guys out there and they hadn't had much action either. The water felt pretty cool, but I couldn't pinpoint the temp by feel...Half moon, not much wind. Pretty comfortable fishing if you had layers on.

It was an excellent night last night huh! I stayed on Washington till 830 and finally gave up. Only 1 bite all night. So sounds like similar reports.

Taking 4hrs of vacation tomorrow and i'll see if i can't figure these fish out!

Another slow day of fishing yesterday, but WAYYY better than working!

HuskyJerk in 5 fow w/weeds Trolling @2.2mph produced a 28" northern,

Irractic Salmo Hornet produced a 15" walleye at 7pm in 9fow next to a steep break reaching into 40fow.

And, right on that steep break the hornet fooled a 12.5" crappie and a few other dinks...

Covered a lot of ground yesterday, Fished a lot of different areas and presentations... Bobber w/shiner, Lindy w/shiner, Cranks, Jig/shiner, Jig/ringworm...and the crank bait outproduced...Just don't have these guys figured out right now!

Anyone else having luck?

If they'd take the Darn Road Block signs down to the minnesota river landing in mankato, i could find as much moving water as i want! mad

But i'll be looking at windblown points and inlets/outlets i guess...

FINALLY made it out! Bout 6pm. Right off the bat in 9 FOW, Salmo clown, white bass. 3 min later, wham, white bass. uggg.

Little further down my trolling line, HUGE hit. Fish had my drag runnin and my Limit Creek Smoothie bent over 180. I felt I had an excellent hook set as it gave me a few very hard head shakes, so I gave it some drag. After a good 4 minutes, he made a run at the boat with maybe 10 yards left..4 more very strong down shots (felt like sturgeon fishin :D)...and gone. SOB! Never got a look at it as it was after sunset, but if I was a betting man, a nice pike or my dream walleye.

Made a few more passes, nadda!

We had 2 other hornets out of other colors and none had a hit.

(yes Domeier and KP I have proof, my wife and children witnessed :P)

When your out fishing the shallows try a jig and pull it through the water about 2-3 feet and let it set on the bottom, then do it again. try to swim it like a frogs leg stroke. It lit them up for me the other day. The frog migration is just about over but the fish have been gorging themselves on them. To stuffed to strike you might say.

The eyes are moving up the Blue Earth at night but the day bite is slow with the blue sky.

Someone wrote "I wish I could have been out fishing, it was a beautiful day" Maybe for you but not for fishing. With the high water last month a lot of the lakes have had a lot of the nutrient washed out of them and are clearer then they have been in a year or two. So if you are fishing shallow do it in the low light times.

Good luck.

Any new reports? I would like to get the boat out one or two more times before I put her away. I'm thinking saturday or sunday morning if anyone wants to tag along. Feel free to email me.

Not really sure yet I guess, wherever a good report takes me! You been out on Mazaska lately? I haven't been out there since we both were that one day.

Hit Shields a week or two ago, caught one northern but was stopped short after running out of gas. Dang lund fuel guage is giving me hella problems! Will read half, then nothing, then half again. I knew I should have dropped a few gallons in before leaving. It had to happen on the south east end of the lake too, with a 15-20mph NW wind, so it took a good while to get back to the launch with the trolling motor.

Bummer! In that wind too? no fun!

Yea, hit zaska once or twice since then, just a couple of pike and crappies.

Last time I was out there, the crappies are stacked up in their winter holes.

If my 'boss' lets me outta the house on Saturday, I'll be on Mazaska. We are doing a major upstairs renovation, so it depends on how much the contractor finishes up this week....

I think I am going to try Fox, I know there are big walleyes in there. And that 10 ft bar out there is ideal right now with its sharp break to the main lake. It has produced before and it needs to again for me!

I havent been bird hunting in a long time. I probably wouldn't have a "bird hunting" card from my wife to begin with!

      Kudos for doing this. I'm sure a lot of fishermen would not have.
    • MikeG3Boat
      I know it has been raining all week but anyone have any walleye reports?  Heading up for the holiday weekend and want to do some fishing.
    • MikeG3Boat
      Partyonpine, Would you be willing to share in what areas you were getting some nice Bluegills?  I am on the east end on big bay and would like to find some good panfish.
    • partyonpine
      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.
    • Shulsebus
      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there. 
    • SkunkedAgain
      Those are some fine specimens. Great job
    • gimruis
      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.
    • LakeofthewoodsMN
      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, 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.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"   
    • Brianf.
      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!
