One last outing on Tonka


anchor man

Recommended Posts

I'm heading out to Tonka midday on Thrs. until dark for pike/walleye in the Wayzata Bay. Haven't been out there in several weeks. Anyone have any final thoughts on depths to try for Pike during the day and eyes in the evening?

Thanks

We stumbled upon a couple pike Sunday late afternoon in about 15 fow while searching for walleyes more on the west end. We got a 22" on a shiner and a 25.5" on a spoon with a fathead head. Nothing huge but they were fun and unexpected. I also had a fish on inbetween the two northerns that I feel was a walleye. I lost him about half way up and never saw him but he was fighting more like a 16-17" eye than a northern. wink.gif After the sun went down the crappie action was pretty fast and furious. Mostly 8-9" with one 11".

Get on the weedline or even above them. Anywhere from 14ft to 6ft depending on the green weeds. The bigger pike are in shallow chasing baitfish during the day. See them on the Aquaview all the time when fishing for gills.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
