Hello, was wondering if anyone has gone up to Aitkin lake yet this year, and if so, how they did. I am planning on spending the next 3 weekends up there Camping at the Federal Campground. I've been camping there for the last 15 years. A reasonable person would think I would know where the hot spots are by now, but I don't! Every year the holes that worked well the year before stink, so I'm constintly looking for new spots. Frog Island has been my hot spot for eyes. Besides that Aitkin Lake is my favorite lake.

I was on Aitkin once so far. Couldn't buy a fish. I think when the weeds come up it'll get better. We did way better on Big Sandy.

Any good fishing reports to came out of big sandy as of yet? I haven't heard that much about the fishing there yet this year.

How's the bug hatch up there now? I have been starting to hear and see alot of hatches around the state in various spots.

      Quite a bit slower today. Only saw 2 teal between yesterday and today, which  really surprised me and most of the wood ducks seemed to have moved on. Didn’t stick around long enough for the geese. Hope everyone had a great weekend and good luck!

      2018 Lake Vermilion open water fishing reports

      By Cliff Wagenbach · Posted

      Carp30, Vermilion is starting into the fall transition period now that the water is cooling down. The bite can be either great or tough during this period. Yesterday we caught walleyes as deep as 44' and as shallow as 10'! Location and time of day is the key! We caught walleyes deep using short snell Lindy rigs,( 2 ft.), with minnows, The shallow walleyes hit best on the same rigs using 1/2 crawler. Sand and rock mix or transitions are the key areas right now. Necked down areas that have deep water and adjacent sand flats are almost always good now. Cliff

      Gunflint To North

      By Bigfatbert · Posted

      If  my memory serves me correctly , yes you can . I believe that we were able to safely walk a 16ft boat through the short stretch of current . When we did this it was warm part of summer and we were in shorts and just had a pair of tennis shoes on when we walked the boat up stream which was about a 30 yard or so pull .Now if you would attempt this during colder weather like now , I’m sure a pair of knee length rubber boots would be sufficient . Very beautiful clear water with awesome scenery . Walleye , Smallmouth , and Lakers .

      Gunflint To North

      By JBMasterAngler · Posted

      Has anyone fished North Lake before? Lakefinder says there’s a navigable waterway there via Gunflint Lake. However, the map shows rapids in between Little Gunflint and Little North, with a short portage. Just wondering if I could get a boat in there.

      Good opener on the water in the Mankato area. 3 wood ducks and 2 geese. Little guy’s first opener, we left at 10:00 and he wanted to stay longer than I did!
