Gull Lake Fishing Reports


Recommended Posts

I think everyone has the same feeling. Just give it time. Sounds like cooler weather is on the way.

Have you tried trolling around Sandy Point???

Out and about before sunrise A few eyes, taking them off the hook actually warmed up my hands as the air was colder than the water, Different! I cant wait until that first snap of cold air arrives to bring in the full fall swing. Overall just being on the water is reward enough.

hopefully with the cooler weather this week things will start picking up soon. Give it another week or so and things should improve.

My brother-in law and I fished Gull 9-19-09 feom 9am to 7pm, boated 10 eye's, 9 to 19 inchers (all released). Sunny and 85 with no wind...ish frown. Sunday 9-20-09 8 am to 2 pm, much better, good wind and some over cast, 18 eye's, 6 to 22 inchs. Kept two for dinner (15 inchers) and released the rest. No bites with jigs all caught reverse rigging either red tails (small ones) or raibows, 7 to 9 foot snells, PINK hooks and slow speeds .4 to .5 mph. Saturdays fish in 27 fow sundays in 32 fow. Going back up in two weeks when the water temps are below 72 crazy.... Hope this helps...Good Luck...

F&F....

Thanks for the update. Gotta love reverse rigging with redtails. Things should pick up in the next week or so with the cooler weather.

How much are redtails up there now??

Can't wait to get up there.

Rodmaker, SW on 371....8.99/dozen. Some in the 4 doz we bought were almost eaters grin. They also had rainbows, shiners, fats and rosie reds. The fish didnt care red tails or rainbows, but the pink hooks out produced red or greens 4 to 1!

I'll be up that way Oct. 7th-11th...I'd really like to see the water temps in the mid-50's by then but I don't think there's a chance of that happening. Thanks for the updates...keep them coming.

I launched at the gull dam rec area today, and was surprised that I was only the 4th vehicle in the lot given the late morning (10:30). I was probably about the only person not fishing for walleyes as well smile Caught about 30 or so fish. About half were largemouths with no size, then an equal mix of pike, rock bass, and perch. Perch couldn't resist floating minnow raps, while the pike went after white spinnerbaits, and the bass LOVED jointed raps! One of the rock bass I caught actually put up a heckuva fight...I thought I had a slab crappie on for awhile. Anyway, couldn't have asked for a better day to be on the water, chilly at first, but warmed up real nice, barely any wind...almost perfect grin

I don't know for sure, but probably over 70 yet. And with the calm, sunny day today it probably got even warmer. Majority of my fish came ontop of weeds in about 7 ft of water.

I talked to a local bait shop yesterday about the water temp and if it is turning over yet. She told me the temp was 52 and the bite was excellent. That doesn't make much sense if that were true. I don't think the water can turnover that fast with it being that deep. If it did turnover that fast the bite should still be pretty tough. I will say thatsome bait shops will flat out lie to you on the phone to get you up there, and that the eye's are biting best on redtails. That being said, if I can get any kind of trustworthy report I am going to give it a shot this Sunday.

Hey Mojo, those are some pretty harsh words. They may not know at S&W. If it is not your kind of place, fine, but don't go bashing S&W on a public forum with out hard facts. Turnover, when it happens, is as murky as the water it creates and I would not ask the FINE folks at S&W if and when it would occur. I would ask others and leave them to selling their FINE redtails, rainbows etc.

      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.
