Finding fish more shallow now. Walleyes have slowed. Still getting a few nice eaters. 26" was the biggest of last week. Pout are coming on. Good perch in 10-12' too.

Here's an update of what I know. Please Join in! 20"+ on Big Lake (Pine/Stoney). 18"+ ice on Walker Bay.

The Big Lake has been producing larger fish but less numbers. Shallower fishing, 12'-18'....

Last weekend was tough. Tried for walleyes both deep and shallow. Minnows, leeches, crankbaits. Although it was easy to mark fish at several spots, we were skunked for the whole weekend. Ouch. Any...

I'm not sure you need to come all of that way. I went to the south side of the main lake recently and did the same as in Walker Bay. Look for steep breaks that are in between a nice basin of shallow...

We're continuing do well with walleyes on deeper breaks and humps. Leeches (jig), crawlers (harness) and minnows (jig) are all working. Fish ranging 12"-26" - most are around 20". They're feeding in...

We did well middle of the day last Saturday (8/20) fishing deeper breaks as long as the wind stayed up. Easy to mark fish. Find the perch, then go a little deeper and you'll find the walleyes. Depths...

If you're still up there - leeches on deeper breaks at low light in walker bay. Trolling cranks in shallows when the big moon is at its highest point in the middle of the night. Both should work well...

Saturday I worked hard on the big lake. Began at 5:00AM. Took a couple hours off, then braved the waves later on. Didn't see a muskie, other than the ~40" a guy 100 yds from me caught/photo/released....

Crappie in Shingobee Bay - 10 min ride. Perch around Star Point 2 min across the bay from Grand Vu. Good luck!

Charlie's is always a blast. Good food, lots of it.

Lake temps are slowly rising. We did well moving a little deeper, 18'-22'. Stayed with minnows although others are catching on crawlers too....

I haven't yet got walleyes on leeches. They seem to still be on shiners. Fish are still in 6'-10'. I've marked them deeper, but no bites down there. Like Murph says, follow the wind - but that...

We only fished on Saturday but did very well. Our eaters were caught when we were with the crowds at Pine Point. Fish were steady and the weather made for a fun adventure. However, moving away from...

We tried a few humps on Walker bay last weekend. But not much luck. Just a 17" and a couple of small "cigars" and sundown. Any other reports out there?

Haven't been up for a month - way too long. December was very good for walleyes. Has it slowed? I've never tried for pout on purpose. I'd like to do so. Any tips out there for pout in walker bay this...

I heard there were a few brave souls out on Shingobee already. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!

Friends and I fished last weekend - just a few baby walleyes out of 35'. We tried shallow rocks all the way down to 70'. We also casted and trolled for muskies - getting one 32" northern. Tough...

Thanks Murph. With temps that low, do you know if the cisco have spawned?

Heading up tonight and staying for four days. Any recent reports on either walleyes or muskies? Are water temps low 40s now? Thanks, Petey

I fished hard Sat and Sun. I saw the same temps. Not much luck to speak of. Saw many other baots at usual spots, but no fish. Has the big lake turned over? Was anyone having luck? Looking forward to...

Last Sunday I got water temps of 68 in walker bay.

Thanks guys. I'm patiently waiting for things to cool off!

Its good to see the air cooling off. Can people share water temps they've been seeing and the general area? Thanks! Petey

I'm one who tries to go with the lightest weight with which I can still feel the bottom - jigging, lindy rigs. But, when trolling bottom bouncers and a live bait rig to find active walleyes I need a...

I'll be coming up Wed night for the long weekend. Is there enough ice in small back corners of Leech, or other local lakes? I sure would like to get out! Thanks, Scott P
