South of Cow Bay in 9 to 14 ft. of water. Near 9 if windy, near 14 if calm. If windy, drift. If calm, troll. Use a spinner with a leech. Firetiger, orange/yellow, copper, or gold. Good luck.

thanks for the reply Jason. what size and color jig do you use on bowstring lake? are these landings you talk about close to snug harbor by water? do you have any openings next week? thanks again for helping us. dale

[Jason Boser]

yes they are close to snug harbor and for jigs any bright color will work in a 1/8 oz shallow or up to 3/8 out deep

A good weekedn of fishing for 3 of us this weekend. Worked mostly the north end of the lake. Found some Crappie on a 15 foot hump out in front of Snug Harbor. We weoud get 2 or three then they would stop. We would go and chase some Walleye go back there and there would be a few more. Caught many walleye most good eater size but some as small as 10 in. also het 2 20 in fish and one about 26. Moving slow and feeding out line when you felt andy weaght on your line. We had to realy feed the line out it seemed. We kept worring about gut hooking them but it didn't happen. We had hits from 15 to 22 FOW on 4 Ft to 6Ft lindys with leaches getting the more aggresive bites but I think about the same amount of fish were gotten on cralwlers. Also one BIG Sunfish it was bigger than my hand! I don't see many sunnies on Bowstring.
Of course ther was the constant small pike to deal with.
and does anyone know what the deal is with the snails? You'd feel weight on our line think here we go mess around mess areoud and give up to fined a snail on your line.
What gives with them the shore line is covered with shells.

Crappie it's not just a fish it's a attitude!
