They sure do. I think its a little early yet but getting there.. I have a trolling excursion planned for the 23rd we will see how it goes.

Casey- How did your trolling excursion go? I read a fishing report from Mark that said the fish are more spread out.

We only got 4 trolling.. One 23"... Couldnt get them to bite it. Rigging was Much better. The fish aren't that scattered I don't think.. Lots of fairly large schools just about everywhere.

These Casey's Crawlers are selling so fast, we had to start taking them 2 flats at a time. We had to use 2 people to pull some of them out of the pile......:)

Fishing was a little slow in the morning but we managed a couple keepers a few nice slot fish in the low 20" range and some dinks .. Fishing was awsome in the afternoon .. Much more willing to bite from 2-6. I have a feeling we are going to have a slowdown like last year.. Just keep after them and you will catch them.. Lots of areas holding fish.

Shamrock,

Do you have a good supply of Casey's Crawlers? My folks are supposed to stop over today or tomorrow to pick some up for me. I will be up late Friday night and hope to hit the water early to try those out.

I have totally switched gears as the fish have been scattering. Crankbaits, crankbaits, crankbaits is the program... very good bite. 18-24 FOW... lots of good trolling runs right now. 15-25 fish the last few days in 3-4 hours of fishing....lots of nice eaters and some dinks and slot fish. Pike fishing and smallies have been taking the rest of my time.. Check out some pictures... www.facebook.com/caseysguideservice

Geesh! And here I've been led to believe these nasty long, fat Casey's Crawlers was the way to go crazy Can a guy get a refund or a trade-in for crankbaits? shocked

Good Fishing,

A gold or nickle spinner with a float behind a 2oz botom bouncer and a fat CC has been very good too.. Can't cover as much ground but if you find the fish piled up that wont bite give it a try! Trolling trolling trolling keep those crawlers trolling.....

What's been working for the cranks? Are you pulling lead or just long lining. Any stand out colors or sizes? Thanks!

Ok I'll bite, are you serious about adding a crawler to the crank? I've never heard that before, wouldn't it make the lure not run right in the water?

I don't know, I guess a fish would like at it like the first man looked at bacon-wrapped scallops. This looks weird but I like both of them, yum!

Back in the day there was a classic presentation with a lazy ike or flatfish with a crawler. Very popular on Mille Lacs.

That worked great on Vermilion also! Orange Flatfish with 1/2 crawler on each side hook.

Crawlers and a bobber have been good... Still have worms left.... They should bite well on them for a solid 3 more weeks! Clients had a good day today caught a 25.5, 25, 24, 23 etc. etc... Check them out and hit the LIKE!

Segment on Northland Adventures we did last week on Vermilion.. I had very limited time with the host but Birchptmike was able to help out most of the day when I was guiding another group... Enjoy.

      thats great to hear regarding the lake levels!!!!!!

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      i like this site!!!!!  👍 thanks rundave......its in my favorites!!!!!!
    • leech~~
      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.
