Try the hump south of horseshoe island and the breakline on the north side of shoreshoe island. There is a lot of sand in this area but I think you'll up your odds if you find rock. Should still be fish near the creek in Bungee Bay too.<P>Main lake yesterday (4/28) was still 37 degrees. Otter bay was 41.<P>------------------<BR>Bernie Barringer's 10,000 Lakes Guide Service<BR><A HREF="http://fishingminnesota.com/bernie/" TARGET=_blank>http://fishingminnesota.com/bernie</A><BR>Call toll free 800-890-FISH (3474)<BR>[email protected]

Thanks for the reply.Now you have me concerned with the tough bite comment.I thought I had done enough homework on Woman to make it a good choice.Should I rconsider?<P>Agdaddy

Agdaddy,<P>I wouldn't be concerned at all. You just need to change the way you fish. By this I mean you need to change the times you fish and your presentations, Woman is a very fantastic and versatile fishery. The only thing I was saying was on a sunny, calm day it can be tough. The thing about that though, is that within a 20 minute drive you can be on about 10 of the state top notch lakes. That area is loaded with them.<P>------------------<BR>Paul<BR> [email protected]

Will be at Broadwater that week as well.Any help on presentation,etc for walleye,northern,panfish to go along with location info?Also any guide recommendations?Need to impress the in-laws.

Posting again to generate some discussion on Woman.Our group will be up for a week starting Saturday.Havn't fished Woman before and current reports,advice,presentations,etc for Wally's and Panfish would be a huge help.Also would like the best option for local guide servcices the first day.Had a suggestion a few weeks back but don't remember the name.I am really looking for some discussion/help-want to impress the father in law since this is his first Minn trip (he is a Colorado trout fisherman).Thanks for taking time to respond.

Agdaddy,<P>Women has clear watar. Like Pwaldow said, bright, sunny weather can make catching walleyes difficult in water that clear. I would plan your days so that you are on the water at least from dinner time till dark. Of course if it's overcast and windy during the day, you should be able to catch fish consistently all day. The bite should really be starting while you are up there. The water has been colder than usual this spring, but warm weather is comming and your timing will probably be excellent. Also, hiring a guide is a very good idea. Good luck.

Thanks GEO-really looking forward to the week.Any potential for crappies or will we be to late?Also wondering if you have a guide suggestion for 1/2 day-probably Sunday PM.

I was on Woman for about 3/4 of a day on opener and it was really tough. Ended up going back to Mille Lacs for the wild bite going on there. I will be at it again on Woman Lake this weekend. I think the warming water should have things looking up.<P>Most of the walleyes I have caught on Woman Lake have come at dusk or night. Out of nowhere, I caught a limit on a calm warm sunny afternoon last August. Go figure!<p>[This message has been edited by Rick (edited 05-22-2002).]
