Lake Sylvia-Twin Fishing Reports


Recommended Posts

I think that the long and the short of it is that we need to take as many small pike out of the lake as possible...take them home and feed them to your cat if you dont want to clean them... or give them to your mother in law. There is just plain too many of the dang things.

As for the crappie I too have seen way too many people take way to many fish home day after day. I live in one of the bays that gets hammered in the spring and WILL keep a closer eye on it as I am tired of seeing the same people in there day after day cleaning the place out. I only wish I would have done something about it ten years ago when it might have made a difference. It will take a long time to get it back to where it was 17 years ago when we built our house. I now have the local CO's phone number on my speed dial and will not hesitate to call him. HOpe I dont [PoorWordUsage] anybody off....oh well smile

I think the best thing to do about the Crappies is to keep an eye out for those guys that sit on the beds all spring. Even if the limit was 5, you know these guys will be back with a boat full of buddies day after day. Besides all these talks on the regulations, how has the fishing been out there lately? I have a full week of work off next week and plan on putting some time in on this wonderful lake.

Hey Noodle, your on. It might be entertaining to watch him hit golf balls at people out in the bay,Ha! I've been looking at getting a spotting scope as well, mostly to check out the sun bathers... :o) everybody seems to forget that people actually live in the houses on the shore, which can be very interesting at times and very annoying at other times.

Too funny! When we were kids, we use to joke about shooting potatos out of a potato gun at people that like to rip threw the channel at 30 mph.

The D likes to use a driver to keep the people a little more at bay from my home stead...that will pretty much eliminate about half of the bay : )

We launched water balloons at people on an area lake and apparently they didn't appreciate it and we had a visit from the police about a half hour later. Good luck and don't hit the guy in the 14' lund with the 15hp merc catching and releasing.

I went out to Sylvia 4 times last week. In almost 30 hours of fishing, I managed 3 eyes and 1 crappie. Pretty slow out there.

      Best weed eater I've ever run with great longevity is Echo, I'd check them out

      Hey government,  Just give us choices. I don’t care what people use as long as as it works for you. I’m needing a new weed eater. Plan on a Stihl FS 40 easy start. I’m done with the cheaper brands. Just don’t last long enough.  Probably true with the Stormy Daniels of the world as well. Cheaper don’t last long enough 🤭

      If you turn on a movie they survive the 20min ride just fine. After many controlled experiments, I've found that they survive much better if you show "Finding Nemo" instead of "Jaws."

      Quick update: Lucky 7 now has rainbows, fatheads, crappie and light pike in stock. If I remember correctly, scoop of rainbows was $8.99.  Stopped at L&M in Virginia. Rainbows $6.99, fatheads and crappie minnows (scoop) $3.99. I was billed $6.99 dozen for rainbows, but was given a healthy scoop!

      I have had the same old Strikemaster augers for years, take care of them and they will last a long time.   I think E-augers are nice for around home lakes or at the cabin. The thing that was a eye opener to me was being in D-Rock in New Brighton getting new blades and there were two guys that just got back from a week in Canada on a big ice fishing trip and both very pissed off at their e-augers dying! They were both buying new gas augers.

      On the south end...   Things are shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener which takes place Saturday, May 11th.  Recent rain has brought up the water levels, which were low.  The walleyes and saugers are in very good shape across the south shore.  Expectations are high. The goto presentation this weekend will be a jig and frozen emerald shiner or other kind of minnow.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.     Hook the shiner through the mouth and out the gill.  Push the minnow all the way up to the jig head and hook the minnow as far back as possible.  This will give you a better hooking percentage.     Jig sizes and colors?  This is stained water so you can get away with a big heavier jig, which is nice for those who don't fish a lot.  It enables them to have more control and feel the bottom.  A quarter ounce jig is a good size for starters.     In stained water, gold, glow white, glow red, pink, orange and chartreuse, or a combo of those colors, are great places to start.   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. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, there will be some good pike caught this weekend.  The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River has been excellent.  The catch and release season is May 8 - 15.  The keep season starts up again July 1st. FYI, there will be some nice walleyes in the Rainy River for the fishing opener.  Lots of sturgeon anglers are reporting big walleyes being caught on sturgeon rigs! Up at the NW Angle...  Angle resorts are ready to roll for the opener.  As many of you know, this is the area of LOW where the islands begin.  Lots of structure.     Go to spots for walleyes, neck down areas, shoreline breaks, points and bays which will have warmer water.  In true NW Angle form, be ready for a mixed bag of fish.  In addition to walleyes and saugers, pike, jumbo perch, crappies, and even a few smallies and muskies will be caught.   Again, the goto presentation will be a jig and minnow. Slow trolling a crankbait will also produce fish if need be.
