I'm not sure what's going on here but, or how big the Muskie was but, I know from experience that there are some huge miskies in lobster. I boated one up by Grand Rapids that went 50.5" and I know I saw a bigger one then that follow up a lure on Lobster.

where do you think is the best bet to gets some walleyes in the boat?

To early to tell. Alot depends on how soon the weather/water warms up. It looks like the ice on most lakes should go out on schedule approx 4-15. If that's what happens you can go to just about any lake in the area to catch walleyes. Now if you want to find some place where you can go and not walk from boat to boat that's another story. frown

Just my opinion, but it probably isn't a good idea to target walleye after ice out, or around 4-15 as eyewarrior mentioned. It is ILLEGAL to target fish that are out of season, and opener is not until May 9th. Good luck trying to convince the DNR you are using your large jig and minnow/lindy rigs for crappies.

Easy, new2, I think you read into that too much. Eyewarrior was referring to ice-out date (4/15), and time for lakes to warm up, before the opener. Early ice out = more time for water to warm up = better opener on more lakes. No-one here targets walleyes before season.

      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!

      What did you catch that furry one on, a special flying lure?

      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.
