whats up on long

[eelpout#1]

Will be up on Long Lake this weekend. Does anyone know what is happening on that lake. Took a couple big walleyes off that lake 3 years ago.

I just returned from long, and I will tell you your electronics will get a workout. On the north side of the lake, in front of Timberlane resort stay 16-20 ft, because the eyes are suspended. Use bottom bouncers, and troll slowly. Work south from the resort, and hit the old submerged road. Stay on the east side of the lake, or you will be visited by big toothy. The next spot will be a hump halfway down the lake in 7ft. of water. Troll around that early and late. Good luck!

Thanks Hatchet...We just got back from Long Lake a few minutes ago. We got lightninged out tonight. Started storming bad about 7:45. We have to make it up in 3 weeks. Does the lake do the traditional fall pattern thing with walleyes (fish major points and structure)? We took 2 really good walleyes on a point about a mile north of the south access on the east side of the lake. This was a couple of years ago and since then all we have caught are a few toothies and a few crappies. Again thanks for the info on the lake.

Try that submerged road, it forms a shallow under water dam, 30ft on south side, 1o-15 on the north side. This forms a big point just south of Timberlane resort. Also, try the stumps at the very south end of the lake.

I just returned from Long also on a family vacation. I fished for 'eyes only and did real well. Limits of nice fish were common in the morning's and evenings if so desired. Our group did a lot of catching and releasing. However, of course, we did keep enough for a couple of fries. Gotta do that. The weather was great except for last night. Nice lake...only my second time being on the lake and no fishing pressure. That was fine by me but the fish were sure on the chomp. You local boys should be out there every day.

I put the fish in the boat pulling cranks behind boards on a 24' deep weed flat. The fish were suspended, as Hatchet said, and they were just crushing the bait.

Has anybody been out on Long lately? I would certainly hope so. What a great lake.

I am heading to Long tomorrow, will be there for a week. Last year our only luck came between 11pm and 2am on the submerged road Hatchett mentioned earlier. During that time, on 3 consecutive nights, we caught a total of 7 eyes all over 4 pounds.
