Thinking about moving?

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I am out of Mac's Twin Bay and am in 15 ft of water over gravel (hawkbill) Wondering if it is worth the move to a little deeper water? We are catching some perch and that is the only reason I am not sure. What do others think. McQuoids has a bunch of rentals near me so I don't think I am in a bad spot just wondering if I should go a little deeper. Thanks everyone for the posts.

I was probably one of your neighbors this weekend. We fished in one of McQuiod's houses out of Twin Bay, in 15 feet and caught 2 whole perch. The people we talked to at the various bars all said they were in 25-30 feet, and most of them had at least caught a walleye or two. One of them had caught a 30 incher. I think the resorts are less inclined to move their houses, and that is why they are still in 15 feet. With the numerous houses sitting out a 1/4 mile, I would assume the fishing has to be better out there, otherwise those people would be moving in.

Charles,
I would set tight were you are, I moved my shack out to the gravel bar on the saddle in 28-29' and all I ended up doing was catching 2 walleye but, not catching any perch so I move back shallow after trying a few more deep holes. I geuss since the fishing is poor I just wanted to atleast be kept busy teasing perch. My 2c

I too was wondering about moving. I am also out of Mac's. We are in 24' about a mile out, and have caught a few walleyes (6", 17", 25", 27"), 2 pout and ONE perch. Thats all in that spot, nothing more besides a few bites. been in the same spot for a month. I have been reading the posts on here and haven't found a good enough reason to move yet.
Everyday we get closer to the end of the season I know that the cost of those fish keep going up. Be nice if i could actually eat one!
O well, guess its not just the fish that count, after all its fishing, not catching.

Yeah I am thinking that I am just going to stay where I am at. I at lease catch perch there. I will normaly bring up a few keepers every weekend. So I look at it that not many people are even able to catch any fish to keep so there is a few +'s to the whole shallow thing. I think I will just hit the deep water with my portable and leave the base where she sits. Thanks everone for the replies though exactly the type of info I was looking for!

      Did you have any luck?     I got a bird but didn’t really do much for pics worth showing.

      It depends on a lot of factors, I suppose.   I hung on to my last gas auger for a few years after getting into electric but I never used it so I finally sold it.  Haven’t missed it one bit.  You bet it was reliable though.  Still started on the second pull for the new owner.   After trying several options in the electric world, I’m currently settled on a Strikemaster 40V with Liteflight bits.  With 2 fully charged batteries, I fish all day in Canada, cutting 10 inch holes.     What I’ll agree with is, if you search by drilling and flasher sonar, you will probably be more comfortable with the run time of a gas auger.  When you start incorporating GPS mapping, forward facing sonar, and saved waypoints, you don’t need to Swiss cheese every spot you fish.  I can still run through both batteries when the fishing isn’t great but I never feel like I have to count my holes.  It’s more like: Did I need the second battery before the middle part of our fishing hours?  If I still can’t catch fish after running out 2 batteries, it doesn’t matter cuz the fish just ain’t biting.   That’s fishing on the dark side! 😉

      Yep, that's where I was🤪. Best fish were way up in the shallow boulders...   And.....if the 3 or 4 people that read this want to fish it.... go right ahead😁😏  My bass spots are no secret....trophy panfish spots, that's another story🤪
