Well, we just got back from our trip. Good time. You name it, we caught it. Mostly smallies and walleye. But it WAS a "weed bite for the most part". We had a blast though. Already planning on going back in August sometime. Write us if u got any thing to say.

Morris, what resort did you stay at? My family is heading to Koronis on Saturday for a week and would love more comments on the fishing! This will be our first time here and hope you could help us at to where you caught the fish and what they were hitting on. How's the lake. Is there any shallow spots where I would have to worry about the motor on the boat? Any info on any of the questions would be a bonus for our trip.
Thanks,
Titans

Titans, hey we caught our bass along the shores of the islands. just about any where along the islands, if its a calm spot, its proably going to be good fishing (for bass) we used lindy rigs and some of that Berkly Power Bait (the crawdads(brown and black)). Holey **** does that stuff work. The walleye were biting on the lindy rigs and power bait also. Most of the walleye have moved to the the deepest parts, there not that big though, most of them are within 20 inches but if u play it right, u can catch plenty that are big enough to keep. We pretty much just trolled or drifted with the wind on the eastern side by the best boat dock.(if u dont know what im talking about just ask because my old man aint home and ill just ask him for better directions once he gets home and get back to you, after all, it was our first time up there too) we stayed at the camp ground on the southern side(VERY NICE PLACE and NICE PEOPLE). But just go out and get yourself some power bait (the miniature crawdads: brown and black, and if ude like to try some other kind feel free, but thats what we caught just about everything on..that and leeches) Well that was pretty much our secret, we had a blast, get back to me if you have any questions about my suggestions. And be sure to post how you did. Thank You

Morris, We sure do appreciate the news that you gave us. What did you use with the power bait(jig head)? Never really use that kind of bait. We are staying on the southeast corner of the lake so it sounds like it might be close to the honey hole. Did you pick up any northerns? is there a slot limit on the walleyes? Your posting is getting us really excited. Only 4 more days!!!

Thanks, Titans

Titan, yea, for walleyes we kept over 15 and under 23. Any yes we picked up one northern(I DID). We used lindy rigs, no jig heads.(any colors) and we used a slip bobber to still fish in the deep water and we just trolled or drifted otherwize. If you dock your boat at the dock of intersection highway 4 and highway 55. just go out in the first bay right as enter the lake.(just drift in that little bay right there(thats where we got the walleyes)) and we caught most our bass aroudn the islands,like i said, or anywhere were the water was calm.
Hope to hear from you. Thanks. Morrisfishingcrew

      here are a few of my favorites:   1) cube breast meat, marinate in Italian dressing over night, wrap in bacon, grill    2) cube breast meat, cover with shore lunch or any other breading batter of your choice, flour/egg wash etc if you like that, fry and enjoy just like little chicken nuggets   3) cube breast meat, season with salt, pepper, garlic, quickly fry in pan serve over rice, can also look up  South Dakota version of chislic similar to this   4) cream of something soup, crock pot with what ever you want lol   5) pheasant and dumpling soup   6) this one is a little bit of work but good stuff: https://fromfieldtoplate.com/2016/08/16/sesame-pheasant-garden-veggie-stir-fry/   I tend to save all my legs and prepare them together. For example this last weekend I shot 2 birds on Sat and 3 on Sunday for a total of 10 legs. Put them all in a crock pot, with beefbroth and a can or 2 of dr pepper to make sure they are call covered. cook on low until tender. pull all tendons etc out and shred any meat you can salvage. add  barbeque sauce and serve on a bun and toppings of your choice. will be very similar to pulled pork.   I hate wasting legs, and I hate even more seeing others not utilize them and just breast out birds and leave the legs to rot     My team of GSP's have been putting the hurt on birds this year here in SD. pleasantly surprised with numbers after the brutal winter we had. probably had my best year of sharptail hunting that I can ever recall in my lifetime also.

      read Jeff Sundins most recent report........even he's pretty leary about the state of current ice conditions..........

      You can prepare/cook them pretty much any way you make chicken.  The taste and texture is very similar.  I'm sure I could do what Moose posted above with his grouse and the finished product would be almost identical.   My favorite recipe is a slow cook in a cast iron pot.  That takes some time because it requires cooking at low temperature for at least 90 minutes.  The finished product is very good.   Being that its so warm out, I might try grilling some here too.   I also give a few away each season.  My possession limit is triple the daily bag limit so its something I have to be mindful of before I go hunting again.

      Walked out about half a mile on Tuesday with max safety (life jacket, ice picks, long rope to house, and chisel).  Ice was very solid and I measured 7½" today (Thursday).  The first 1/8 mile was nice dark ice that was large chunks frozen together, but quite smooth.  Then there was about 40 feet of very jagged white ice.  Had to lift the portable over the points of ice otherwise it would hang up on them.  Then the next mile of ice was rough white ice as shown in the picture with the ice scoop.  At the small island before Birch Island the ice appears to be dark (and probably smoother).  Several snowmobiles and ATVs were running out as far as Birch Island but it was easy walking for me.   Fishing got better each day.  Rainbow and chubs were about equal.  Couldn't catch a fish on pike suckers.  Best fish was the 27" (8#-3oz) hog shown in the picture.  Had a hard time getting her head into the hole.  Picture quality is bad because I wanted to release her quickly to avoid further stress.  Good luck out there and be careful on the ice.

      Measured 6" good clear ice today about 50 yards off the north side of Moccasin point. Walked out for a little ice fishing. Remember ice conditions vary around the lake, depending on sun exposure and current in channels/narrows. Be cautious, safe and verify your local ice conditions.  Directly off the Moccasin point boat landing, in the channel ice conditions looked poor. Picture is from Northside of Moccasin point I the early morning  when ice looks the best

      Finished the 23 waterfowl season over Thanksgiving. Got to hunt two days of the long weekend. Saw a modest number of ducks, and harvested mallards, bluebills, and ringnecks as the water began freezing over during the weekend. One of our tougher seasons with different migration patterns probably due to unusual weather patterns with constant fluctuating between well above average temps for a period and then almost instantly well below temps before going well above again, and so forth. Still will cherish the memories with family and friends and relive the sights and sounds of out on the water during fall. Will be posting ice fishing reports in the fishing report clubs as soon as the ice is safe. Happy Holidays everyone.

      Thanks for sharing this exciting career opportunity with Orvis in the Minneapolis area. It's great to see companies looking for passionate individuals to join their team, especially in the world of fly fishing.
