Fishing on Cass

Ok...my wife and I were on Cass friday and saturday nights from 6-10 and only pulled on eye. Is fishing just a lot harder than I think or has it been so long that I forgot!!! We trolled raps on the breaks from aboout 10-18 feet. And got nothing. I noticed on the GPS that our speed was about 2.8 mph. I wonder if that may be too fast. I have learned that Cass will make a master troller out of you. I had my hands full trying to stay on the break. One minute 7 feet the next minute 35 feet. Very challenging, I'm convincing the wife I need a kicker to aid in this. Was it just a hard evening for everyone...please say yes! We'll be back up this weekend as the "family" cabin is slowly (do-it-yourself) is coming along!! Although no fish..it was still a great evening on the lake. Very fun lake to fish with all the structure!!

I was on Cass on Friday with three other guys and between all of us only got 3 walleyes, all slot fish and one jumbo Perch. One guy in our group had a 48 inch muskie up to the back of the boat but it dissapeared and never returned! I took the goose egg myself and Winni was just horrible for us on Saturday with very little to no wind .... the walleyes were holding tight to the bottom and wouldn't consider opening their mouths. I think we should have spent more time on both lakes after the sun went down.

Buzz,

I know summer fishing can be good, but I would never bank on it myself and would be happy getting 3.

Question: what did you mean in your post by "slot fish"?

Question2: where were you mostly fishing at? (I don't want to make the same mistake-nyuk, nyuk)

Hey Geno, I had Winni on the mind when I said "Slot fish" but we got a 14, 15 and 16 inch fish. two were caught in Allens Bay between the Potato islands on the south weedline going back and forth by those reeds in about 14 ft water and another was caught in the NE side of the lake on a deeper weedline. (exact spot unkown as I was a ways away from my buddy Shorelunch when he landed it) We got str8 skunked on all of the humps and we tried alot of them! I was dissapointed we got only one jumbo perch off of North cedar bar! It looks like a great place to fish... we should have stayed out later than 9:00 PM. We did get a 48' (approx size) Muskie to the side of the boat in Allens Bay on what I call the boomerang... over towards Lake Andrusia... we worked all around this area and got the sighting by the reeds to the east of the "Boomerang" I hope this helps!

Kinda thought you had Winni on the brain there. Those are nice ones anywhere for sure.

Never fished the Boomerang but know about it and between the islands would be a spot I would try for Pike. We have lucked into a few W over there too. Never fished N Cedar but have heard it can be quite good over there too.

So much water, so little time.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      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
