I'm heading to Long Point for a short day trip tomorrow. Is shallower still better than deeper? Sure been quiet up that way this winter.

Thanks

srj; We fished Long Point last Tues. We caught some small sauger and walleye, they were biting soft and slow. I did some moving around from 14 to 25 fow, without much success. Last week when we were there most of the people were fishing over by Twin Islands, last Tuesday there wasn't much action over there, more to the east. Hope you find them.

Thanks for the input. I'll post the results good or bad.

Well, the results--started east in 24' on the rocks near the green buoy reef. Nothin. Moved to 25' near Twin Islands, got 1 18', no other bites. Moved half way between Twin and the resort in 22', got 3 from 14 to 17 and one nice sauger plus a couple midgets. The weather was great and I ended up with 5 nice fish. A nice day trip. The Long Pt boys have quite the road system this year. Quite a bit of snow and the plow banks are high. The water was clear, at least up high. I was kind of surprised to see Arnesens had several houses out by Twin.

Fished long point saturday, threw everything in the tackle box at them ended having the best success on a blue and white 1/16 oz techni glo jigging spoon. Finally located them in 20 ft of water East of the resort. We had four guys ended up keeping about 20 Walleye sauger mix with the biggest fish at about 17". Had a few perch and tulibee mixed in. This was the first trip ive had to LP without catching a few eel pout. Adam

srj - when you were out last, did you notice if there are any places to get off the main roads that Long POint plowed with a PU and a wheel house in tow? Without your own plow? We're heading up to Zippel this weekend, but usually make a trip up to Long Point for a day and are hoping to do so again. Last year we were able to back in here and there - it was a crusty layer then on top of fluffy/ice powder, making it easy to get stuck, but also not bad to get out with the chains. What's it like now?

Cuda, the plow banks are high. Probably your best bet would be to ask for a slot plowed out when you get there. The guys are on the lake much of the day with the plow.

Good luck.

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
