Just got back from Head of the lakes resort. Yes the monster sunfish are biteing on the north end. Im not sure of the name of the point but its the first point out from the resort. We fished any where from 9 to 14 ft of water 2 ft off the bottom with wax worms or cut up leaches. I have never caught such big sunfish consistantly as I did this weekend. Im talking almost the size of an ice cream pail. We caught one crappie not to big but a keeper. I was told in a couple of weeks when the wheather gets a little cooler the crappies will start to hammer. Talked to one guy who said he was up last year around the middle of October and didnt catch any crappies under 1# 4 ozs. Good luck and let us know how you did.

Hey doods! What time of day were you catching the bullgills? I am heading up to the north end this thursday for the weekend and was wondering if you were talking morning, noonish or what. Has anybody got any advice for eyes? I am hoping to get into a little bit of everything this weekend, so any help would be appreciated.

We were out hitting the sunnies this A. M. on the north end (around Caughren point) Got some but the bite seems down from last week, though one couple got their limit, some around 1 pound. They seem more spread out and biting very lightly in 9-12 ft., and hugging the bottom. Also seem to be biting on north shore across and down from Caughren Point. Check out any concentration of boats is the best way to find the hot spots. Good luck to all, and also saw some 1 1/4 lb crap's in the fish cleaning house, don't know where they were caught.

Hey Finn, where is Caughren point? We are coming up tomorrow and are hoping to get into some of those gills.
Also, if Ghotierman is out there. Where are the walleyes? What is the best presentation for this time of year? All advice appreciated.

Caughren is the first point out of Head of the lakes resort or if coming from the south end it is the last point on the right side. Most area bait shops will show you a map and also have the latest info. on all fishing, it's worth giving them your business. Good luck this weekend.

Boatless in Blaine we did best from 2pm - 7pm But also did ok from 8am - 12. we used pink flu flues and pink moon glows they worked well for us. if the bite slows adjust your depth a few inches off the bottom. We were also told to try trolling the bay to the left of the point just above the weeds with raps the walleys have been known to be there (8feet of water ) in the morning and evening. We tried it with beetle spins I lost one he## of a fish. Good luck and let us know how you did.

Will be on Osakis 10-04 thru 10-08. Was checking to see if the bite was still on for any walleye, crappies or blue gills? Will be staying on the north end at Head Of The Lakes. Thanks for any help.

We will be up at Head of the Lakes also. The last info I got was the crappies were starting to hit. The sunfish bite was still on. We got most of ours two weeks ago on the North end in 9 to 15 feet of water. Good Luck.

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
