Just got off of the lake after an awesome day of fishing! couldn't keep the walleyes off the line today, as I was looking for perch! but still very fun, ended up keeping 10 very nice sized perch.

How are the perch biting on Gull? I was up about a month ago and I found them in about 28' of water on top of a deep hump. Wondering if they are still deep. I'm taking my son with this time and he has a short attention span when it comes to fishing, so I'm hoping I can find them again. Any advice on depth or type of structure would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Nels

I was on Margaret and Upper Gull yesterday with the boat. Nice day a little windy. Water is cold yet. Highest temp was 43, most was still 41. Didnt wet a line but I could see fish stacked up on the breaks just off of the shallow water.

Looks like Gull is basically out according to the webcams, I'm sure there is some floating ice left that can't be seen.

Sounds like all the ice is gone on Gull!! The dock and boat go in this weekend. Of coarse there will also be some crappie hunting.

How has the fishing on Gull been lately? I haven't been up since mid-May but we will be spending a extra long weekend on the lake this coming weekend.

Are the fish cooperating?

The walleye fishing this weekend was solid with plenty of 17" fish in the well. Let go quite a few 13s also.

Where we caught them - we broke all the rules (time of day, etc), especially with the boat traffic, then again maybe all that boat traffic created an artificial walleye chop. wink

Bass fishing was slower than past 4ths. I would speculate the Gull bass spawned later than most years. We did catch some nice ones, but they seemed really thin for their length. Some years we would catch 30 in a couple hours ... not so this past few days.

Lots of young fish and bait fish in the shallows right now.

always seems this forum has 15 - 22 viewers at any given time, but no one ever posts much

would like to get up there again at least once this summer. Had a nice 20 incher early June.

Finally started to see that Gull is really a night bite lake after several early AM trips up there last summer compared to a couple PM trips up there this year. Really wish I had more time to get to know Gull.

Walleyes have been in their typicl July pattern. A little tough going but there have been a few caught. Some anglers have found them along the weedlines 13-18 feet of water in the evenings. Lindy rigs and redtail chubs or leeches have been best. Still catching a nice quality fish out there. The pike bite is great everywhere. Minnows or artificials are working well. Bass are hanging out on the weed flats in 5-10 feet. Pretty easy targets lately with a jig/worm. Crappies are still a little quiet but the sunfish are keeping folks happy. Great weather means lots of boats. Have fun and be safe.

I was able to get out between the traffic and the storms for a weekend of pretty good fishing. My most successful trips were long line trolling the weedlines. Pretty constant action for bass, pike, and walleyes.

Walleyes were mostly caught in the morning, but we had a couple throughout the day. All fish were C&R.

What a day to be on the water! One last trip out before putting the old girl to bed for the winter and it was worth the drive. Water temp was hovering at 40 deg. in the main basin and the last hour of daylight turned out to be hot,hot,hot! When in doubt, make the trip. It's always the trips I wish I had made that I end up regretting....Bring on the ice now. I'm ready!!

You are spot on! Was looking forward to meeting you as well. I have a couple of first ice spots that I'd like to try out. Keep Brad posted on ice conditions and we are there! I'm sure we will get a chance to wet a line sometime soon. Looking forward to it...

West central side of Gull has been producing 12" - 18" walleye on shiners at about 18' - 22' near or in weeds. Ice seams to be around 9" with some open water near the ice heaves off of Rocky Point.

Anyone think the Ice will be thick enough to drive wheelhouses out for the Extravaganza weekend. Or does anyone have a recent ice report

No trucks yet, but wheel houses with wheelers are everywhere. 10-11 inches of ice. Stay away from rock pile and ice heaves, not good ice and open water.

Fished 11'-17' tonight up in the weeds. Found a couple good walleyes, some pike and a bunch of perch. They were smacking Northland Live-Forage jigs or spoons tipped with a minnowhead.

The north end is good ,18"-20" of ice, not sure about the south end. Don't go south of the Hat. Sounds like there is 6"-8" on the black hole.

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      By Rick G · Posted

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.

      The water looks low but appears to be on the rise. We will be there  the week after opener. I have been going since 1981 and enjoying the experience. We love the variety of fish we catch and release each year. Ice went out a bit earlier than in years past. Water may be warmer and plan to target some crappies. We fish predominately in Sand Point as we camp. Good luck all and tight lines. We may consider the hike to Lake Lucille which we did 2 years ago.

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of
