Amercian Side report


Recommended Posts

Has anyone been out fishing american side lately? I am heading up monday in search of the 30" Walleye. 2 29.5" still no 30inch walleyes. I hope I can get a 30" plus this trip. Any report will help thanks

I was out on the East side (US) Thursday through Saturday. We did real well on Thursday with leeches which is all I usually have to bring this time of year. The next two days however proved to be a stronger minnow bite and the leeches just wouldn't do it as well. We tried some cranks and did ok. Water temps in the mid/upper 60's. Fall patterns setting up already?

Most fish were in 32-42 feet. We worked for the shallower fish so as to not pull too many from the depths. Managed a few under 17" to keep and released a bunch bigger, especially the first day.

The reefs with the most boats were the slowest fishing. Fish seemed more sensitive to pressure than usual.

What a trip coming back home in that wind yesterday. 20-25 mph W/NW wind was really rolling the the whole length of the lake as we came out of brule narrows. That's when Rangers pay for themselves.

good luck.

      Looks like you could use a FM hat. 😉    The future son in law prefers the lump coal.  He’ll start it in coal starter over a propane burner, then dump in it his smoker grill as needed.   Congrats on the clean break “over there”.

      Should really start a What yeah Smoking thread!    Another fun place we tried when up in Duluth. OMC stands for "Oink, Moo, Cluck" They serve pork cracklins for starter to test their sauces on.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      First time ever going there with the wife. Little spendy but they make some darn good piles of meat! We had the brisket! 😋

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!
