A little help? I am thinking of going after walleyes on Gervais. I've only been out there once(before opener)and could really only identify one piece of "classic" structure. Are they up in the weeds? What do they like to eat?

I would look for fish near the steep dropoffs around the whole lake, especially by the creek. The main lake point and inside turns of that point are also good areas. The lake has a healthy perch population. Id bet that is what the walleyes target mostly.

I dont fish 'eyes much but when I have I didnt get much or any size from Gervais.

Many are bigger than average for the metro but still not big enough (my opinion) and not many of them to get a meal. You may run across some 9"ers.

The weeds make it almost impossible to fish right now.

Good thoughts... Really? Too weedy even in the main basin there? Thanks TurnUp, DNR reports average #'s and size (grain of salt) so I fugured i'd give it a shot. Thought it might not get many people going after the eyes. Looks like they stock it pretty good and the forage is there (I was hoping they were maybe hiding up in the weeds). Thanks Fellas

Can a person even get into Gervais from the access? It was pretty low last year.

Ive caught a fair amount of walleys in the weeds, mostly the flats on the north side, but the fish were small. As far as the launch its a good deep launch. but doesnt have a dock. The only thing that would be affected by water levels is the channels between the lakes. Be careful I tore up a prop last year by a rock under the bridge heading into Gervais.

That's what I meant. How is it going under the bridge from the access into Gervais?

I was out about three weeks ago and got through fine trimmed up. Plenty of boats were getting throught that day. I even got through the northernmost channel. 1750 crestliner fishhawk. I plan on trying again this week. I'll report any results.

      As crazy as that might sound, May 18th isn’t a bad guess.  We were on the lake yesterday and had somewhere around 30” of solid ice with some snow on top.  This is hard January-type ice.  No honeycombing, no chipping or slush.  In fact, my Dewalt hammer drill couldn’t take it.  It’s dead.   Another foot of snow on the way this week?  That won’t help.

      Pool 2 shore fishing

      By CigarGuy · Posted

      Try the area where Minnehaha Falls runs into the river up to the ford dam. I've just used jig and fathead. Been several years since I've fished down there, but saw a lot of people shore fishing there. Pretty snaggy down there.

      Entries sure rolled in when I offered the case of beer.  We could meet at my Stuntz Bay boathouse if that would work.  Close to the landing, could anchor in front of the boathouse, or could park your vehicle at by the boathouse.  Maybe we could require the winner to be present, LOL.

      Thinking about trying pool 2 (from shore) for the first time tomorrow morning, ideally looking for walleye. Anyone know any decent spots or what kind of baits I should use?   Thanks in advance

      I know the owner.  In fact we rode snowmobiles together a couple days after the fire.  He lost most of his belongings.  Sounds like it was electrical.
