Red Door and Bombeck Flat


joneshat11

Recommended Posts

We are renting a sleeper at the Red Door and they had said that fishhouse we are staying at is on Bombeck Flat. How is the fishing there or will I have to do some searching with the one man trap on some other flats? Looking for wallys and also perch! Any help would be great!

Nice rentals, nice people that run the resort, no fish!!!! I had my camera down the hole and we saw a grand total of 2 walleyes and they had no interest in biting. 7 guys, 36 hours, one pout. We were on Bombeck on the 17th and 18th.

fishing is a little slow, but you are near a lot of quality flats and you can drive anywhere now so if you want to move around you can. I have never had much luck on Bombeck, but that means very little!

Fished out of Red door last thurs/friday (23rd/24th) had a rental on Weimer flat right next to bombeck. Caught one slot walleye during the day thursday just off the east side of Weimer at about noon and one tulibee (off the bottom no less) same spot. The rental was on the north tip of Weimer...stayed thursday nite...rattle's went off 4 or 5 times all night...nothing to show for it. Then fished friday on Bombeck, Weimer, East and Resort flat....fished on top and off the edge's....nothing! Marked a few fish with the vex but no takers. Talked to a DNR guy friday morning tho, and he said anyone catching perch was using some type of larva...minnow heads weren't working. The rental was real nice tho...and Fred is a great guy. Good luck fishing!!!

kingr,

didn't even catch one fish. the fish house ended up to be on weimer flat and not bombeck flat. even went out searching with a snowmobile and one man traps and nothing. Had a cousin on who rented a house out of mcquids on the south and they caught nothing. first time ever in my 24 year old life that I have gone to the big lake and not caught a walleye. well guess I was do! the only thing I could suggest is to try a different lake, sorry for the bad news.

Yup, a walleye is hard to come by these days and you were deffinitely due. I hate to admite it but every year I have multiple outings with zip. How deep were you fishing?

How is the lighting in those things?? Do you recommend lanterns or are the gas lights alright?

you'll need a couple of lanterns as they only have one light, also bring extra mantle as they didn't put thiers on that well. Also, be careful as they have their bridge by shore way to high. Overall I wasn't to impressed with the Red Door as I had better experiences and nicer houses elsewhere on the lake.

      Question for this knowledgeable group   I've noticed over the past two weeks at the lake that in certain areas there seems to be a ton of black "duck-like" floaters that seem to congregate by tons and stir up the water and then move to another area close by, stir up the water again and move again. I've seen them recently in Greenwood Bay and around Fectos.   Are these cormorants? Are they stirring up the water by fishing?   Thanks

      Followed the advice I posted, slip bobbers w rainbows and crawlers in big bay on a dozen humps topping out at 6 to 12'. Caught a few smalles and a couple 12" walleyes. So not very successful but maybe didn't hit the right humps or lake was too calm or wrong time of day - 7:30 11 am. That's why they call it fishin'

      I may have to take you up on that. I've been moving for a month and don't even have my boat in the lake yet!

      Walleye Report:  Just spent a week on the lake (East end).  The fishing was as hot as the weather with many, many 14-25" walleyes.   Surface Temps: Consistently 70-72 with the recent hot weather.  Swimming was comfortable the past three days.  Depths:  All caught in less than 10 FOW Techniques: Lures - Plastics and jerkbaits.  We bought two dozen leeches but never opened them.  I do regret not watching a bobber dip below the surface.   Tactics: Cast and retrieve lures in sandy bays, over main lake/secondary rocky points, across rocky flats, between sandy flats, and throughout silt/mud bays with shallow weeds.  A little wind and clouds helped but was not always necessary.  And we had lots of random fish.    Advice:  Get out there and fish.  These patterns should hold for the next week-two.  The fish are aggressively feeding in the shallows where they are finding crawfish, shiners, etc.  A fast moving bait is getting hammered.  I literally can't tell you how many times I saw fish INHALE our presentations at the boat.   The population is healthy.  Catch and keep a few and let a bunch of them go.     Good luck.

      Excellent report with Q&A video of Vermilion fishing over Memorial day weekend on the Everett Bay Lodge Facebook page. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0P6R367DVCXxuZN9LQmZo3ptHADXTbR7NewV2P4W8BouagdzmZ56RpSC6SP2KTjNhl&id=100031660668169&sfnsn=mo&mibextid=RUbZ1f Good timely advice on walleyes
    • leech~~
      Lol, if they had enough enforcement in the first place. They may catch them the rest of the season without the tag!
