We caught some nice smallies on a couple of rock points. We had never seen any caught in the lake until this past winter when a buddy got two through the ice. Then this spring I got one on walleye\Northern opener. Then we went out fishing for them and we got 5 in a two hour span. They were all pretty good sized at 14"-18". Anyone else fish for them out there?

I was up there two weekends ago at the federal campground, and was catching smallies out of the river (by the dam). Caught a nice 19.5". Also caught a few nice walleyes.

Was very windy on the lake, so we fished the dam for the most part. Finally got on the lake and caught walleyes, some crappies, and NO smallies.

Our group loves that spot below the dam...never know what you are going to catch.

I've caught smallies there....

Look at this pig from yesterday!

I love those colors on that sunfish.

They are all males as the spawn is almost happening. Caught a few females and they are ready to burst.

Hit it again today.

nice fish CK, and nice shots with the camera.

Posted

I should have been more carefull....I got a call...4 boats went in ...kept everything...I went and checked...no fish left.

So much for CPR.

Posted

That really sucks....A guy can't post anything anymore. I guess the figure, we can follow CK around and wipe out all the lakes he fishes. frownshocked

Posted

Ya know Tom I'd give up all of my spots if a guy would release these nice fish...but that ain't happening.

it also takes a bit of work to find them...then to have the spot fished out just like that....unreal.

Now I'm thinking to turn into a hider and if you want to hit some nice fish well a 300$ a day guide fee will be in order.

Posted

That's sad, because I know that there are some people that like your reports and pictures...I guess you can only show pics of the fish showing the bottom of your boat, and no background. Keep up the fishing though!!!

Posted

I will keep fishing and I will keep showing you pics,but I'll have to watch those backgrounds.

Looks like I'll have to vacuume the carpet now....LOL

I havent gotten a chance to go out for a few weeks just wondering if anyones had any luck up on Big Sandy.

Posted

That's a bit vague.....whatcha lookin for?

Posted

Nothing in particular. Just seeing if anyones been doing any good. Hopefully ill be able come come up within the next week. But for sure for wild rice days. My granpa always has cars in the parade and car show. But i take it big sandy is the same old thing its always been; hit and miss and a really hard lake to fish unless your looking for small hammer handles. haha.

Posted

It can be hard.....I've been hitting slabs here and there.

Posted

Keith, you doing the Waterfowl "duck" opener this year?

Posted

Call me ....Love your avatar...wow!

Posted

Posted

Sunfish for bringing up some little ones. Any particular crankbaint/color better than others to take some kids trolling for walleyes too? Thanks, Ken

Posted

I am staying with some people this next weekend that live on Big Sandy Lake and my sister really wants to go out and catch and release some fish. I am just wondering what the easiest thing to catch is for us so we can just go out and have some fun and respect the fish and their habitat. I'm guessing we'll go out with bobbers and try and find some kind of panfish action or something along those lines since she is not an accurate caster! haha If theres anything decent going on I would appreciate a hint or two! Thank You.

Posted

Does anyone know anything about Big Sandy Lake fishing this time of year?

Posted

I know nothing....see nothing....hear nothing.....

Pike are the easiest to catch.

Get a daredevil and drag it around the shoreline.

      🤣 not near as shiny and spendy as that livescope toy. Thats kinda like bling ain't it? besides i'm on a paultry union pension  🫣

      I mean to catch pike you just need a shiny object...

      Just another "Words matter"   Voting on school levy. This was posted on the School "education district" building door.  We had a nice cold walk all the way around the building! The arrow was added, after we educated them! 😒
    • Wanderer
      Nope!  But it’s more funner!
    • smurfy
      I don't need no livescope to catch fish....🤔🤪  It's all in how ya wiggle the worm!😜 Just sayin  🤣

      Obviously this is more of a hot topic due to forward facing sonar. With that being said, I know people who have pulled crappies out of basins 40+ deep since the fl-8 and zercom flashers came out. That's over 30 years ago. I do think there's a push to ban these in MN and I could see them doing it here. They'll have to pay my livescope from my cold dead hands 😆 on days I can't catch a walleye jigging or rigging it's nice to turn it on and throw corks at individual fish

      It wasn't just you, I was fishing west of you about an hour on Monday. Fished 8am-4pm, no fish, two keeper walleye and one small one from 4pm-630pm. Marked a lot of fish, they would come up to a jig and swim away. They were skittish to the dead stick too

      I wonder like divers, if we let them decompress every 10' for 1/2hr. If that would help?  🤔  It would slow the bite down a bit!  🤭

      That was a better study compared to last winter when they setup the vertical tube nets and tried to release exhausted fish from being studied and expected them to be able to swim straight down a 3' hoop net.     That lake's crappie population from this latest video was pretty deep at 40-50', and no doubt from those depths that is barotrauma for most.  That is deeper than most crappie holes but certainly how some are. However from helping give fish a good release from the 35' and less range and tracking them with live sonar most of them swim at a shallow angle back to the depths and I watch them rejoin the school and be active.  Uncut Angling's video helped counter some of the initial narrow findings.

      If you fished with me more often, you'd never have to make this statement...   38" of ice - love it. I'm really going to have to dig around for my auger extension. I don't think that I've needed it in over a decade.   Too bad nobody has a locomotive chugging across the ice to do some logging, like the good old days.
