  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.

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.

      What's the water temp today? Please update

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Had 30 feet of ice out from my Stuntz Bay boathouse on Tuesday afternoon.  None inside the boathouse so I was easily able to remove my boat from the lake (just pushed the ice away in reverse and drove forward through it with my 16 foot aluminum boat).  Didn't hook up my battery so I didn't get the lake temp.  Were lots of boat trailers parked at the landing.  Hope they get off the lake easily.  Will be ice fishing in 4 weeks.

      Vertical Jigging for Most Anglers

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the South Shore...  It's deer hunting season in MN and not many are out fishing.  Those that are fishing are taking advantage of the unseasonably warm weather and excellent walleye and sauger bite that is happening across the lake.   The best depths on the south end of LOW are 22-28 feet of water.     No surprise, vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners is the program for most anglers.  Anglers are going through a lot of frozen emerald shiners as the walleyes and saugers are all mixed sizes.  You will catch small ones and your eaters.  Depending upon where on the lake you are fishing, some slots and big trophies are in the mix as well.    Anglers are also reporting very good numbers of jumbo perch this fall.  Watch out for an occasional pike or even lake sturgeon mixed in with the walleyes.      Good numbers of fish are staged in great spots for the upcoming ice fishing season. On the Rainy River...  Good numbers of shiners again in the river this past week. Typically, if there are shiners, there will be walleyes, and there definitely are.     Walleyes are coming from various spots from Four Mile Bay to Wheeler's Point, to Baudette all the way to Birchdale.  With so many anglers taking advantage of the deer hunting season, there are not a lot of boats on the river.      Walleyes are being caught in 10-25 feet of water in various stretches of the river.  The bait and consequently, walleyes, are moving around.  Once you find some fish, you will be rewarded. Jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners is the way to go. Some anglers are also still trolling crankbaits upstream to cover more ground and find fish. Both methods are producing solid results. Sturgeon fishing remains strong.  The catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open into the spring when it changes to the "keep season" on April 24th. Up at the NW Angle...  For those not in the woods hunting, fall fishing continues to be excellent.  It is areas with structure holding walleyes in this part of the lake.  Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations for walleye right now.     A nice mixed bag with perch, pike and crappies being caught as well. Good muskie fishing with the colder water temps and shorter days.  Some big fish and some good numbers are being caught amongst the islands.  Both casting and trolling is getting it done.

      Yes.  No lightning strikes in the area on Saturday and a tree was burning.  The squirrel hunters have been a nuisance this year with more activity in our area then we have ever seen.  This was the 3rd fire in the section of woods in the past 2 weeks.  Most definitely not caused by natural events.

      Haha!  No… In other news: All the cell cams users that I talk with are seeing some daylight movement of adult bucks since yesterday.  No deer hunters want to be at work right now.
