Horseshoe Chain of Lakes

[Ruegs23]

Ishmel,
I was up on Leech lake and a guy i was with was using them on one of his tip ups and he had the best luck. But I have not tried one on a tip up around here. I keep saving my stock since they are 1.20 a piece!! I guess i should be popping them on a little more, the fish aren't going to bite them in my tackle box!! But if i had to guess i would say your odds are better with a glowstick on, especially for northerns.

Great! Thanks for the info. I'm going to pick up some more tonight!

This may be a stupid ? (but no ? is stupid in my book)How do you use a glowstick are you tying it to the line so far up from the hook and are you useing the big ones four or five inches long or the small ones for lighted floats. and is this legal in mn. courousety caught jimBo

I just noticed my post didn't make it up yesterday. No glow sticks for me. I do believe in glow though (That rhymes) I seem to used glow hooks for every species now. Slowly my tackle boxes have transformed to glow in the dark tackle boxes. They even make plain hooks that glow now, these work great-other than the glow paint makes the hook shaft a little thick. As far as fishing, Last night was really slow for me, the night before wasn't to bad. I have been fishing sunnies and on a good night catching and releasing 70-100. Last night maybe 12. As far as the trip up north this weekend, it was real good. I got into the big bulls one day and the walleye the other. Made for a good trip. Hopefully going back this weekend. Anyone been out for crappies lately. Tuesday evening I had like 14 fishing in a buddies house for 2 hours. Pretty slow but the size was excellent. ScottS

Scott-

I haven't been able to get out. It's unfortunate, seeing that the temps are going to be ugly for the next few days. My buddies that have been out haven't had much luck though. Big Fish was on earlier this week, but no one has caught anything there for the last couple of days, and Cedar Island has been very slow, at least for my friends that have been able to get out.

JimBo- I am not sure what you are referring to as "Krons Bay" as there is no road access to it. But, I can tell you Krons bay on the West side of Horseshoe has been pretty slow lately. If you are talking about Horseshoe bay, right off Hwy 22, they are still picking up some walleye there yet.ScottS

I was out on Cedar Island today fishing bluegills. It was brutally cold, and the bite was brutally slow.The fish really didn't start going until about 3:30, and they seemed to pick up a bit when it started snowing. Nothing to hoot and holler about as far as size. FYI- you need 4 wheel drive or tire chains to get around with that last bunch of snowfall.Fish were caught in 13 feet- had quite a few come in way up off the bottom.
