Is the bite starting to turn on yet? It was a little later last year when I really got after the big perch up on leech. We usually fish them in the narrows area of the lake, is this a pretty common place or did we just get lucky last year... Also we were using small green joigs tipped with fathead, and shiners...I really hope to get up there soon as that was some awesome fishing last year...If anyone has any info on how the bite is doing send me an IM or reply. Thanks

Was up this past weekend. There were groups all over. We moved around quite a bit. We did decent on perch but a lot of small fish in between. Picked up a few nice crappie and bluegill as well as a couple walleyes. Heading back up in a couple weeks to see how things are goin then.

Perch were good hour to hour, with bigger fish showing up all last week.

However we have only caught 1 12" perch so far. many 9.5-11. still ok.

Crappies were going good as well as bluegills. Walleyes are still slow for fall hopefully that will change. Muskies are average but there is enough movement to keep you fishing them. More good perchin is coming, the narrows is finally putting out some fish, walker bay and federal dam area were good too. My experience is it is hard to beat an orange jig with a fathead or a piece of white pork rind.

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.

      Any updates on this new tower? Has it helped AT and T customers throughout the lake get better service?

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!
