Sauk Lake

[Dash 1]

1. Spent the afternoon on Sauk lake yesterday. Water temp was 49-50. Dock was pulled so I was glad I had put on guides on the trailer earlier this year. Never marked a fish and no bites. Frustrating but enjoyable day out on the water. Took back roads to enjoy the view through Richmond, Spring Hill and Greenwald areas. Brought back lots of old memories. Good old 6 corners and Richmond colosseum to name a couple.  Got the next few days off to winterize around the house and hopefully get out once more before putting the boat away.  Looking forward to deer season and ice fishing. Good luck all(except the trolls) and stay safe.

Back in the day we used to hit osakis when all the docks where pulled in, or was it sauk????

 

That was the sign the nice sunfish would bite!!

 

Oh not a troll !!

Fished Sauk yesterday morning. Definitely a huge walleye chop with the south wind blowing.  Only caught 10 inch walleyes on minnows.  Perch wouldn’t leave the crawlers alone.   Put new tires on the boat trailer today. Old ones looked good but were 20 years old. Didn’t want to take a chance on them with my annual trip to Bemidji next week.  I’ll hopefully post some good news and pics after the trip. 

Look out Becida bar... here I come.

Headed up to Sauk Centre today to see if Fletchers Bait had bigger leeches. He still has them. Also hit the Sauk lake and found a few fish in 8-11 ft water on windy areas. Got a 22, 15, 15, 13 and half dozen 12 or less. All bit after 10:30am, just like the fish forecast said. At least wife and I can have walleye dinner tonight.

Spent the morning on Sauk. Got 2 walleye.  13 inch rigging with a leech in about 11ft and a 16 inch in 8 ft with a Rapala.  Water temperature around 73 and air temperature only 60. Very windy also but still way better than work.  Not much boat traffic. Sorry no pics. I'm just not thinking about that on the lake. I'll try to do better.

i've only fished sauk a few times and that was late fall for sunfish. i guess the clue to fishing them in the fall is when people start pulling docks out. did pretty good if i recall!!!!!!

First time I ever fished Sauk I got a limit of walleyes plus a 26"er. I usually catch a few 'eyes each time. Last was 2 years ago. Maybe it's time to hit it again.
