Lake Gogebic 10/8 woohooo

[tim long]

Hi Guys Nice to see some other people on the site networking and talking about their experiences on Lake Gogebic. I my opinion that's what this forum is all about.

My experience on the Lake this Fall (lately) has been good walleye fishing.I had a few days where I was attacked by the Northern Pike too but over all the walleye fishing has been good. Very nice health fish. The one thing I noticed is that when you have wind the fishing is better and the best wind for me in the area that I'm fishing is a wind from the west at 10 mph.+ but less than 20.
I have been fishing the weed edges in 5-11 FOW with slip bobbers and sucker minnows in that 3 to 4" range. I use Owner SSW with SUPER NEEDLE POINT J hooks. I hook the minnow through the tail and when I have a bobber down I point the rod tip at the location that the bobbers was, reeling in all the slack line until I feel some tension from the fish, and after I feel a slight tap tap from the walleye I give him a nice slow sweeping hooks set with my 8 1/2 foot slip bobber rods that have a soft tip. The rod will almost be bent in half and 95 percent of the time I will have the fish hooked in the corner of his mouth.

Some of the best fishing is yet to come. Dress warm and be safe.
Thanks for visiting us on Outdoor 911

Thanks for those tips, sounds like were pretty much on the same page as far as location. I just ordered 2 8 and a half foot bobber rods. Will have to order up some of those hooks. I went out on sunday and couldn't get away from the pike. Landed 2 nice walleye with hooks I had bent a little myself and only lost one fish that day. West wind at 10 mph was exactly the conditions when it was a heyday ( if we kept em hooked haha). We have been casting the shoreline after dark with crankbaits on the way back to the launch and have been unproductive doing that. Fuel pump went out on the outboard on sunday so that may have been my last trip of the year.
