Very fun to see open water. Thanks for the video.

Agreed! As I look out my office window in Edina, it's snowing pretty good out. Great to see some open water up in God's country!

Thanks Casey!

[IslandHopper]

The videos are great, if that was stuntz bay where you were testing the motor, can you please keep trying to move the ice so I can get out to the island? Those videos are great for a 612er to see. Thanks!

[Casey Sunsdahl]

I'll try to get some fresh ones for an ice update mid week... I let it run in there for a while but I don't think it helped very much! Opened it up enough for the next person to test their motor that's about it!!

Casey, what were water temps? Thanks

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Around 48 average .. 38 near the ice..

Just recieved word that the city auto glass walleye tournament will be going on Saturday! They have permission and may use an alternate weigh in/ launch spot but we will find out at the banquet an Friday night if not sooner.

Thx

Coming up on June 1 thru June 9. Casey, we are with you on the evening of the first (4-8ish). In addition o walleye, do you know of some spots for crappie on the east end? They are fun o catch.

Last year, we caught a bunch of walleye and pike just casting not pretty much any weed bed. But it was inconsistent.

How is the weather?

[Casey Sunsdahl]

So I have been beating the water to a froth.. I have missed 5 days since opener.. water temps are getting there and the fishing is still very inconsistent. We have been able to get fish in many depths with many techniques..

How's that for a report???

Overall its been FUN, lots of nice walleyes in the lake this year.

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Walleyes are still hammering in the lake.. 4-40 ft minnows leaches and frogs. Jig lindy slip bobber.

[delcecchi]

frogs? on a slip bobber? Like green leopard frogs?

[Casey Sunsdahl]

YEP! I like to but them on a black and white daredevil. but they work OK on a jig.

[Uncle Boney]

Interesting!

Will frogs work all year? Or are they early season like the rainbows?

I suppose you have to catch your own or do bait shops have any?

I wondered about the crayfish on a jig for walleye? Last June, most fish we caught were spitting up crayfish.

[Casey Sunsdahl]

I am only kidding.. Never tryed them but I know they work well in some rivers... Heard a million of them on moose island mid day a week and a half ago or so, was thinking about grabbing a few and trying them. Leaches and plastics for me right now

[Fish Head]

Casey, do you know when your crawlers will be available?

[Casey Sunsdahl]

I should know something tomorrow.. hoping to order for next week but I don't know when they have a truck coming.

[Casey Sunsdahl]

Boy some sunshine would go a long ways...

Fishing has been decent that's all I've got. My shoulders are getting sore and were barely into June.

Fish where you find the most boats.. they are catching something.

Should have worms Monday? I need to follow up tomorrow.. no clue why I ordered them when the water is still sub 60... I need some more leeches myself.

[MarkB]

I would like a flat of crawlers when available Casey.

Thanks in advance.

MarkB

[Casey Sunsdahl]

I will have worms Thursday! Been ripping the fish. Caught around 25 this afternoon.. 4 dandy keepers and all the rest were in the slot. Both of my people caught their personal best today around 24s

[MarkB]

My wife and I have never had a day with that many slot fish! I bet your clients were pleased ! I need the crawlers as soon as you get them so please give me a call. Oh yeah and one more thing, could you install one of those twirly construction lights on your boat? It would make it easier to spot .

Good Fishing,

MarkB
