June 8, 2010

Walleye report: A-buoy which is pretty much straight out of the marina.  It is located West of Buoy 13 in 19' of water(about 5.5 miles out) West of 1 and 2 Channel Buoy(N 43.47.000 W 083.47.000) Southeast corner of the Black Hole.  Crawler Harnesses (Pink & Purple) and spoons have been working well.  Make sure to run some presentations in the top 10' of water.

4/27/2010

4/20/2010

Walleye Report

Crawler harnesses seem to have over taken the crank baits straight out and a little south in 13-16ft of water.  Pink and green are the hot colors.  If you are using crank baits the Huskie jerks 10 are what you will need. Limits are being caught. 

Dock fisherman, again be advised that as of May 1st, fishing off the docks will be no longer be permitted. 

4/12/2010

Walleye Report

Hey! All you fisherman don't be afraid to downsize your crank baits.  It has been reported Huskie Jerk 10 about 90ft back in 12-16ft of water seems to be the ticket.  Crawler harnesses have also been reported being used.  However, crank baits are still out producing.

Perch fishing has slowed down in the marina, some smaller fish are being caught.  Please be advised as of May 1st fishing from the docks will no longer be permitted.  Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Ice conditions are unstable after a Mid-January warm up and strong southwest winds have caused a large crack and open water at 10-12' of water, making navigation to deep water difficult.  Conditions are changing daily.
