Leech Walleye Report

[jester]

Thanks for the report, Legend. Were you with the crowds there at Pine Point? I have had some bad experiences there myself...<P>Anyway...This Friday, I am going up to Leech for a full week and a half. I will provide a report of my own when I come back...

Fished Leech the 17th and 18th with some success. Water temp still at or below 52. Last year at this time it was 59.<P>We ended up with our limits, but had to work. Shallow is your best choice right now. We caught everything in 5'-10' on the windblow side. Jig/shiner or Lindy/leech were the top two presentation.<P>Look for the bite to improve as we get warmer temps and sunshine.<P>(note: The boat crowds can be brutal. Some folks are decent, but there is a small percentage that are downright rude. Be patient and ignore these clowns.)<BR>

Worked Portage Bay on the 17th and 18th around 5 Mile, the Gap, and on the west side by the campground. Water temp between 48-51 degrees. We covered lots of water and ended up with only 2 'eyes and 6-7 pike (the 'eyes were in 12'-15'). After not feeling my nose for 2 days because of the wind and cold, I decided to spend Sunday on Mille Lacs. Fished 2 hrs and pulled 14 'eyes (3 keepers). I truly love Leech, but that's my kinda fishin'.

jester,<P>We be in that Pine Point crowd. We fished the windblown side of the point in 5'-8'. Most boats seemed to be straight out from the point in 10'.<P>If you want the GPS coordinates, e-mail me at [email protected]

legend-<BR>If you don't mind sending me some coords I would appreciate it. I am heading up this weekend for a few days before I head to Canada for a week. I have only fished Leech in the winter so having a place to start on the open water would be great. Thanks.<P>SKI
