Its been a nice week of weather and the fishing is doing pretty decent in our area. Leech was ok we were spinning in the weeds and caught perch northern and a few walleyes. we were in pretty shallow water 7-10 seemed to be the depth with a 3/16 oz bullet sinker and a 1.2 mph speed.

Bowstring was doing good with the same spinner rig cruising the shorelines. On Bowstring we were fishing shallower in the 6.5-9 ft depths were the best and we have even seen a couple crappies show up. Red of course has still been producing lots of fish with the spinner also. You can also use crank baits and a jig and minnow for the fish on red seems like those fish just keep biting.

Winnie continues with just a few fish being caught with the spinner and a few more coming off the major bars with a lindy and leech or a crawler.

Sand lake is producing a good number of fish but we have to sort out a lot of small fish to get the keepers. they are going on jig and minnow or a lindy rig with a leech.

good luck fishing

Winnie is finally starting to produce a few fish. with fish out on the bars and even the humps with lindy’s and leeches and crawlers or on top of some of the bigger bars in the 15 ft depths pulling spinners and a piece of crawler. Also heard reports of walleye on the north shore with spinners.

Bowstring is still putting out walleye on the weed edges with a spinner and a piece of crawler or minnow or some guys are just using a plain crawler on lindy and pulling in fish.

Sand was ok also with most of the fish coming in the 15-20 ft of water on a jig and minnow. they have been on the deep humps. spinners have also worked but you need a little wind to make this presentation to work.

I had the opportunity to take a couple from Germany fishing this last week. It is always fun to show people from other countries the fishing we have up here and to let them experience our freedoms we have in the outdoors. they are very regulated over there and lets us all hope that dump doesn’t happen here

good luck fishing

Fishing Report for Deer River Grand Rapids Area August 25th 2014

Big Winnie has a good Northern bite along the east shore 7 to 8 feet in the weeds, lots of 25 + inchers, nice perch are showing up along the north shore rocks humps, the best walleye action has been in Cut-foot 11 to 13 ft. we did well pulling spinners tip with minnow also some crappies are staring to show up shallow weeds. Leech lake also has some good northern pike action also along with a few nice walleyes mixed in, pulling spinners along the break lines or weed lines also picking up some nice crappies and perch making a nice mixed bag. Red lake still as a good bite, again pulling spinners 6 to 8 ft. tip with a 1/2 crawler, some day you may have to cover some ground to locate them. The other area lake are still producing fish, check shoreline weed areas and shoreline breaks pulling spinners or rigging with crawlers. Fall crappie action is already starting. So go out and enjoy a day on the water, be safe and have fun. This area fishing guide Charlie Worrath www.mnfishingpros.com

the name of the game in our area lately is the panfish weather it’s the crappies or the sunnies they seem to be the active fish right now. Sand, cutfoot,little cutfoot , leech and even bowstring have all been turning out nice crappies. On the deeper lakes like sand and cutfoot look for the deep breaks and other objects on the bottom of the deep breaks like trees or stumps and start searching. You will see the schools of fish on your graph. once you find the drop a 1/8 or 1/16 oz jig with a little crappie minnow and you should be pulling fish in. The key is to stay on them. sometimes they move around and you have to keep with them. on some of the bigger lakes with no steep breaks look to cover ground in the deeper weeds off points or corners with some pencil reeds around. we use spinners for these tipped with a crappie minnow and troll at 1 mph till you find them and stick with the school and stay in that area

good luck fishing

      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.

      I found this dock wheel floating in Black Bay. If it's yours or you know whom it belongs to, go and grab it.
