Agate Bay

[leroy77]

Has anyone fished out of Agate Bay lately? Or has anyone been out on the east side near Agate Bay? I am going to head up there on Friday afternoon and was wondering how the bite was. I'm not looking for specific spots unless you want to give them up, just how the bite has been. Thanks for the help.

Perch bite during the day has been off and on. Sort through them to get a meal. a few walleyes have been biting but not getting limits by any means. Jigging and set lines have caught both species. Talk to Dean as you drive through, he can point you in a direction. All in all, it is worth the trip if you bring some cold ones.

Thanks for the info, I got up there Friday and it was like you said sort through the perch and I ended up with a nice meal of perch. No walleyes but I did see quite a few on the camera. Like you said with a few cold ones it made for a great weekend. I will be heading back up on Thursday afternoon and I will post results next week.

Hey Dude:

What size were the pout? What time of day (night) did you get 'em?

Thanks, I like the pout!

The pout were both small. Caught on fathead minnows and glow jigs 6 inches off the bottom.

All I've heard about this season is small pout. Maybe a good year class or two? I hope so. Pout are an important indicator species for Mille Lacs, as are the tullibee. And I'm also seeing and hearing about more small 'eyes this year, which bodes well for the future. Anybody getting any big pout yet? It may be a few more years until we start to see numbers of big ones again. When they rebound, I hope people treat them with respect. Are you getting them before midnight? Or 3-4am?

How did everyone do this weekend? I got up there thursday afternoon and got set up and fished until 10 pm then I got a call from the wife and she told me that the basement was flooding so I left the heat on in the fish house and headed for home. After about 2 hours of sleep and a quick trip to get a new sump pump I made it back up there at about 7:30 Friday morning. I ended up with 15 nice perch and missed a big walter (I lost him at the bottom of the hole!!) All in all another great weekend for me on the big pond.
