Grand Rapids Winnie fishing report 6-6-05

The weather in Northern Minnesota hasn’t changed much, wind and rain with lots of both. The good news is the fishing has changed. The Winnie bite has finally moved to the shallow water. Most our fish are coming in at that 7-9ft of water. The shiners are shallow and so are the fish. 1/8-oz Fireballs in the rainbow color and a shiner seem to work the best. The North shore and the south down in muskie have been the best bite.

Sand, Bowstring and even Jessie has had some good fishing too. Round is still putting out some fish in the shallow water. Red lake for the crappies has still been pretty decent. Crappies on cutfoot have been being caught in the channel at dusk. The fishing has picked up a bit around the northland.

Good luck fishing

Jason,

Always enjoys your posts. I have a cabin on Lower Balsam Lake near Balsam Store on Scenic 7. The lake is a puzzle for walleyes. We have some success off the dock slip bobber fishing in May..Other than that it's difficult. The lake is shallow...35 feet is the max. Very little if no structure. Plenty of weeds June-Aug. I've tried trolling raps on the weed line often with little success. Any thoughts/ideas? Trout Seeker.

I have never fished the lake personally but I would try a jig early or a rig and crawler on the edge of those weeds trolling around them
