Hey todd! Tell us about the rainy


Recommended Posts

Well it has been better as far as numbers, but there was enough action to keep you going. It was about 15-20 fish for some where it could be 60-75 or more fish once the water warms. Missed about the same amount as we boated with the biggest one boated being 25.5" with another handful over 20". The biggest sturgeon was a 61" that was a great laugh trying to get into the boat followed by a 49" and a few other hook ups. All and all there was enough walleye caught to justify the trip and to keep the itch going. The old man will have a total of 2 weeks up there, must be nice to be retired. Have fun at the spinner tying party tonight.

Spinner tying party? Man I would be in for one some time.

I just got done tying up 250 spinners for the swap meet.

It would be cool to get together and see how we all do things.

Ill bring the brews.

Come on man these are spinners we are talking about. Its not rocket science. Hooks, beeds, swivel, line, clevis and blades. Maybe a spin n glow tossed in the mix.

Oh well I guess my top secret Hawg Walleye spinners will stay just that. wink

WOW, being your both in the Grand Slam maybe you guys can get together after and exchange notes and see who has the bigger bag. We don't need another Slam trash thread or do we smile

Naw..We'll leave the Slam trash threads to the fishing realtor,

Maybe we should start a spinner tying thread instead.

Now back to the rainy....Has the Big and little fork let loose yet? How was the water clarity?

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
