Big Sandy Lake Fishing Reports

[slipperybob]

I went look'n...found some that weren't biting. Oh well...

[NewtotheNorth]

Have anyone been fishing BSL lately? Was up there 2 weekends ago and caught only 2 with about 2 dozen lookers.

Also, how deep is the snow now?? Last time we were up there, got stuck in some slushy area.

[Chad Peterson]

It is pretty deep so I would being a snowmobile.

Good Morning,

Has anyone been out on Big Sandy lately for Tullies? We tried last weekend and had a lot of lookers but no takers. Tried all my spots from last year...that we could get to! Lots of snow and slush on the lake.I punced the first trail thru the new snow and got stuck out on the flat. Maybe I missed the early run.

[palisade1kid]

It seems they are taking a hiatus.

[diggn7]

wondering if anyone could give me a report on tullies on big sandy? thinking about making a day trip tomorrow if possible. any information would be greatly appreciated along the report of how much snow there might be on the ice. Thanks!

[palisade1kid]

You'll need some ground clearence and then you still can get stuck...bring a shovel.

The bite has slowed but if it's a sunny day the bite could be better.

[lispeej]

I wonder if the warm weather we've had has helped with the tullies biting.?

[palisade1kid]

It will help with the oxygen hitting the water with this snow melt.

[tulibeeton]

I am taking the family fishing up to big sandy. Hoping to get some crappies and tulibees. any general location would help.

[palisade1kid]

Any of the holes on the north end pay out.

Study a map and pick your spots.

Hows the North end access? Wondering how bad it'll be by Thursday. If anyones been up there within the last few days could someone tell me whats the best option getting out there (Snowmobile, ATV, or truck)?

[NewtotheNorth]

What is the fishing like so far? Has the fish turned on yet? Hope to hit it this weekend but unsure of the slush/water on the late.

Can anyone post if truck travel on the lake is possible?

[palisade1kid]

Some spots ya struggle other spots fish are stacked and feeding.

As to travel....we have lost a bunch of snow....still a good couple of feet of ice that is still clear.We just got warm....there's a good 6 weeks of fishing left although vehicle travel maybe limited to the next 3 weeks....all depends on how much warm weather we get. It has been freezing at night out there.

thanks

So whats the latest on this lake. Dont need your honey hole locations just wanting to know hows the bite, it was pretty slow the last time I was out there.

Thanks

[palisade1kid]

Still slow

[lispeej]

can't wait til things pickup.....

[krayzie_fishin]

How is the fishing there lately? Are the tullies bitting? Thinking about going there but don't know where to start. Never been to that lake before. Any info will help.. Thank you...

[Born2Fish]

We are headed up tonight...sadly to get the icehouse off the lake. Though we will have to move around with the portable a little bit and see how things go. Everyone has been slow this year on BSL.

[Biggerfish]

Your not kidding things are slow....

Just got back from a weekend away fishing.

Fri and sat were a complete lost. hit 3 lakes and no fish.

Sunday things really picked up. Hopefully its sign of thingd to come.

Happy fishing.

[NewtotheNorth]

How are the tullies bitting on BSL? Wanted to hit BSL but was at Mille Lacs for the Perch Extravaganza at Hunter point.

Have the tullies picked up?

[anchor man]

Spent 1/2 hr on BSL before dark Friday night and landed a big tullie right away and that was it. Fished all day Sat. on BSL for tullie and got 1 crappie. Marked a ton of fish all day long, but no biters at all.

[Biggerfish]

It was brutal this past fri/sat up there.

[lispeej]

weird. usually this time of the year, they bite pretty good. what's going on..............

[palisade1kid]

I've started to see mayflies so the bite should improve.

[lispeej]

Yes. I was thinking the same as well.

[NewtotheNorth]

Wow, must be a late bite this year then...

Good to hear that the bugs are hatching. Any report yet about fish activity?

[palisade1kid]

It was good not great in Jan...went to heck in Feb. so now we are down to the last 5 weeks.

It was 10 below yesterday morning so we are still making good ice.

It looks like the low 30's for highs over the next few day. It'll have to get warmer for this top crust to melt off and then the bite will pick up.

She ain't really ready yet ,but it's gotta be getting close guys.
