I plan on heading to fish Winnie the last week of June. Last time I was there a few years ago I was fishing jigs shallow with shiner minnows. What should be expecting to bring for the bite around this time of the season? Depth suggestions on where to start looking?

I am looking into resorts and so far Beckers has caught my eye. I will be camping so showers, bathrooms, and electricity would be nice. Any other suggestions on full service campgrounds on winnie to look at?

Thanks for any input.

Jig and a minnow will catch fish year-round on Winnie. Probably plan to drag crawler or leech rigs, too - those can work very well that time of year on the edges of bars/shoreline breaks.

All the resorts on Winnie are good places - you can't really go wrong. Four Seasons and McArdles are good resorts run by great people as well, and they will both get you on fish.

Enjoy your trip up thisaway when the time comes!

you can never know what the pattern will be till you get closer to that time. lots of things water temp and weather will determine what we will be doing then.

look at northland and the pines for campgrounds

you might want to try bowens to

the good thing about their location is you just bout always can fish

and not worry about big winds

and the cutfoot is very good fishing

there are also camp sites on the cutfoot but they are primative

no p0wer or showers

      I went one last time yesterday afternoon with a friend for a few hours.  We each got one, and we each missed one.  Raised about 20 birds at four spots, plus one deer.  Unfortunately, the season is now over.   It was a superb season though.  Second best season I've had with this dog.  She just had her 13th season.  I hope she can do it again next year.   I'll be sorting my sock drawer now for a couple months...

      He can have this one!  Haha!  We shoulda maybe stayed on top in 14 but we could see the bottom so clearly and it was shallower than we really wanted.  The quick deeper water check yielded perch and pike right away, so we moved.  Caught plenty before dark, now pretty quiet.   I have a hunch the bay WILL fish shallower than the main lake we’re used to.   16 inches of good ice out here.

      Thanks for reminding me to make sure that one is in the fish house!  It’s tradition that we watch that on the first trip every year.

      Well that would explain it better n me forgetting about it!   I swear I chucked the last of em before we left the lake!

      Are you sure one of your other grumpy old friends didn't throw that in there for yea?

      We (my wife mainly) are monitoring the pages of the big three pretty closely.  Not Mille Lacs though - we don’t go to the big one closest to us - haha.   We’re still shooting for Winnie tomorrow but might have to shift to Red if we can’t get out there yet.  Spent all day going through gear.  Bought a ton of bait.  Sharpened my spears and saw.  Way too much gear.   I also found out I forgot 1 ciscoe in my long rod box from my Ontario trip in March. Gaaggggghhh.  Everything out, washed with Dawn in hot water and set out to dry.  Still stinks but not like a punch in the nose stink.  And like me, after a long weekend fishing, after awhile I hardly notice the smell anyway.
