Old Fishing Reports!


Recommended Posts

Forgot to post the report for tonight. Tonight I went out fishing with one of my buddies from school. We made it out to the lake by 3 and was fishing my 3:30. At 3:35 I had the first fish on. It was a 19" walleye that fought really good on by light set up. grin.gif He was caught on a small Green and White glow buckshot. After that we couldn't buy a bite. We were marking fish they were just in a very negative mood. The ice was very thick considering the time of the year. I measure 11" in all the holes I drilled.

went out tonight to pulaski. caught nothing, in fact, i got no bites. but driving out there it looks like a mine field. once you get away from the structure it's fine though.

i was out on a lake that was just south of Monticello spearing, where i saw a few fish, but didnt spear anything. Water wasnt very clear, but it was still a great time on the hard water

We had a semi slow weekend. Started out Friday night on Buffalo- caught 3 crappies missed several others. Very light biting! On Saturday night my daughter and I hit Howard lake on the north west side in about 23 FOW- caught 6 nice crappies and several small ones. Today my 4 and 8 year old and I hit Waverly and we had steady action on perch. We fished near HWY 8 in about 10 FOW and we had steady action. The kids had a blast. We caught about 25 of which we kept 12 keepers.

I guess this was that of a weekend considering that we did not move at all once we were set up each day.

we were out on big lake today spearing for the whole day. Ran into a few fish, but nothing crazy. There is a ton of houses out on Big lake. Water is very clear, with alot of panfish rolling around in the lake.

The few times I've been around Francis, there hasn't been the normal ammount of fish houses. I assume you'll still be able to find the fish, but not much size as normal.

Did well early in the ice season. Some nice 12" crappies in the mix as well. Have not been out there in 3-4 weeks now.

Went out to Francis last night. 6 little hammerhandles, 2 17" bass, 5 small sunnies, and 4 decent crappies. Only kept the crappies, all between 9" and 11".

went out to pulaski. only one nice northern, but after i caught it my dad threw my hook in the hole so he wouldn't step on it, but the only problem was that the northern cut the line with his teeth so it wasn't connected to anything so i lost my good buckshot. but the bites were very light tonight.

Went out fishing last Monday. What an adventure. Cold, windy, and all else you could think of. Try going for some suspended crappies and it took 15 holes to find them but I eventually did. Thats all I saw of them. They didn't want anything. Only thing that got the to bite was holding the lure absolutely still. Even then they were tuff to trick into biting. I left that lake around three and headed over to a different and target fish that were shallower, after hating dealing with that deeper water. I ended up with pretty consistent action throughout the day with plenty of crappies and sunnies to keep myself occupied. I pulled up a couple larger crappies and a few keeper sunnies as well but the highlight of day is once it started slowing down as it got dark, the fish would only come up and sniff it. They wouldn't commit. But I finnally got one to go and I'm sure glad I stayed for this fish. It was a 14.5" crappie that weighed 2 pounds. It was absolutely awesome. I'll post a picture in a little while after I get home but it was awesome catching it. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Sounds exactly like us KDawg. We were out on Monday too near Kimbal and saw an ungodly amount of fish on the camera...largemouth, sunnies, crappies, pike, etc...

We got about 20 crappies between 6 guys but they were SOOOO picky. Had the camera right on 'em and they would come up, sniff and turn. Only way to invite a strike was to start raising up. Even then it was pretty hit and miss. Assuming this weather has got 'em being pretty picky. Even the little sunnies were ignoring waxies. Tried every lure possible. Fun to watch, frustrating not to catch. Gonna head to Buffalo tonight and brave the wind.

Nope. I haven't been out there this year. Haven't heard anything through the grape vine either.

If you would've sworn a month ago you would have been right. My fishing time has been cut down considerably recently.

      Kudos for doing this. I'm sure a lot of fishermen would not have.
    • MikeG3Boat
      I know it has been raining all week but anyone have any walleye reports?  Heading up for the holiday weekend and want to do some fishing.
    • MikeG3Boat
      Partyonpine, Would you be willing to share in what areas you were getting some nice Bluegills?  I am on the east end on big bay and would like to find some good panfish.
    • partyonpine
      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.

      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there.

      Those are some fine specimens. Great job
    • gimruis
      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.

      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"   
    • Brianf.
      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!
