Anyone have any luck on the panfish and crappies lately? I went out to pleasent lake yesterday and couldn't find the crappies but with the wind and snow it was hard to move once we got set up. We did catch a lot of small bluegills and had fun playing with the northerns with the aqua view, lol.

Wet a line today. Didn't get anything. Ice needs to get off so the back bays can warm up a little.

Pelican. The access bay is starting to break open. The old access on the south end has about 20-30' of open water.

confused.gifcorrect me If I'm wrong please but with my experiance when the ice goes off it disoreants the fish and it is usually one or two weeks before they come back to there late ice haunts..at least its that way on the lake I fish mostley. what do you think BNS you also fish this lake alot..

Not for fact, but I think, has to do with sunlight, once the ice gets off there not use to sunlight. They move into the shallows during late ice because of the warmer water, then move back out due to the sunlight. It all depends on the water temp and the lake, before they move back in. Certain lakes I have found them in the shallows at around 57 degrees. Some lakes it as been around 60 degrees before they move in. But remember, they are still close to there spawning area. Just have to work for them a little deeper.

noodle, robbo is spot on in my opinion. Keep working on the deeper parts of the break lines, and also cover the shallower water being there might be some that have came up already.

That makes total sense to me I agree 100% thats exactly what I was trying to say . what i was refering to was a couple guys saying there fishing that 10 to 30 yards or more of open water on a mostley ice covered lake , in my opinion is a wast of time unless your really anxious or bored . but thats just my opinion on the experiance ive had on sylvia.

you never know of these two lakes. There alot different from others, being the ice comes off way late, and makes ice way late, and is so deep in places as well. Just alot different.

got that right. There is so much to fish out there, you can flip docks all day, or hit points and turns all day. Its a great place to fish and live. I love it there and glad to have a cabin on the lake as well

Ponds and real shallow lakes have crappie staging, thats pretty much it. The late and cold water temps are going to both challenge and reward us this spring, I believe.

i heard that Clearwater has been having alot of boat traffic, might want to hang out there for a day or so to find out.

Clearwater is cold. The winning boat in the tourney weighed in seven fish for a total of seven pounds...

      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.
    • Shulsebus
      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. 
    • SkunkedAgain
      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!
