Bite last night


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys!

Caught 12 real nice fish in about 27ft of water before dark last night. Only 2 fish over 20 inches, but several nice eating fish. Followed the fish up the break into shallower water come dark. Casting jig and minnow as slow as I could possibly fish it. Fish still aren't exactly snapping, but I wouldn't be surpised if the nice weather today will help put together a hot bite. I guess the rain dance we were doing really worked! Don't forget to really work your graph, and don't get caught fishing memories as these fish scattered a bit from the storms. General rule of thumb is the deep bite starts from about 32-36 feet while the shallow bite can be found in less than 5 feet. You'll find a fair amount of eater fish mixed in with slot fish in the deeper water while there will be a larger percentage of slot fish in the shallow water. When fishing the deep water in low light or the windward sides of structure don't be afraid to check up top the structure or toward shore as the fish will at times move up chasing baitfish!

      Water Temps 48-52. I tried for crappies and caught two walleye. I can't even crappie fish. 1/32 ounce jig and a tiny minnow

      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!
