Fishing Reports

[musky1969]

And lets start the season out with some reports !!!!!!
I am sitting at my desk at work right now how are things on the Woods? Go

[dpear]

Great opening morning.One of best in years.No biggies in my boat though.Feed the critters,nap,then back after m.

[dpear]

Storming so went back to bed.LOTS of fish caught opener,no bigs I'm aware of.

[musky1969]

Seen pics of 2 nice 51" Wiley Area both of them I think !

[dpear]

Another good day Sunday with biggest in Camp being a 48.Went out this morning very early in the very strong post front wind despite knowing better.Deep down in my peanut grey matter there is a LAW that reads,'weather always trumps Solunar facts',but I ignored the LAW-and paid the price.I did see a couple slow rolling and caught a monster 38 banging a jted D Raider so all not lost.Got home a few hours later without having any parts fly off the boat so....happy.I think.
All the 'facts' were there,I even saw the cow that jumps over the moon and think I saw a witch on a tricked out broom about moonset,but there is still the LAW.

[fish_wizard]

Yeah, but how is the walleye fishing?

[Rick W]

Thanks for the updates Dick. For those of us not able to be on the LOTW until later in the summer, the updates are really appreciated. Please keep them coming.

Beautiful fish,good spot!Congrats!

[dpear]

Couple tough days.Frontitis.Fish or 2 per boat type thing.No 50s in Camp yet.At least up to noon yesterday.Last nite 'felt' better but with the wound n the Boss returning didn't get out.

[musky1969]

Been gone a week but sounds a bit slow.Short windows etc.

[dpear]

Still slow.Only 1 this AM.Did see a 50 today though.Everyone and their Gramma has been seeing those regularly but me.(I even believe half of them).On the other hand,I'm undisputed champ of the 34 to 39 inch size category. Undisputed!
On a bright note saw the biggie n a handful of others just before coming in.A front arriving soon and suspect change is in the air.

[dpear]

Should be,chat when you get here.

[dpear]

Sun not up n can give the likely report for today.Torrential rain,wind,muskies win.
Randy Meyer n I were leaving shortly-ahhhh,no,not in this.

[dpear]

Sad to say it but 'bloom'.

[fish_wizard]

Like, Exxon Valdez, or dispersed through the water column?
Not what you want to hear the week before a trip, but then again I wouldn't expect it to be gin this time of year. Is it everywhere, or just bad areas?

[musky1969]

Got a 42" on the very first spot of the day at about noon on what you ask !! A Person grinder in some really great cabbage. Got some nice looking cabbage beds out east here for some reason !!

[dpear]

Way to go Darren!
Yeh the day turned out OK,a guest at Frankies got the 1st 50 of the year.

[dpear]

Little bit everywhere I've been.Bad some places.Some very bad.Tug smelled this AM and couldn't get through it fast enuf.Fish going good today though.

[udee2159]

Up at Frank's this week. Thought I'd give some updates, since I enjoy reading them when others do it.

Fished yesterday and today with 4 muskies, the biggest at 44.5". Fish are moving on a variety of baits, but you've got to find them first. With today's windy and rainy weather, it made things interesting. Tomorrows north wind looks, well, interesting as well.

[musky1969]

Whitefish Bay is really clear right now I was told !!! Lol It is what it is I like to troll in the bloom you know its clear 10-12 ft. down In Warroad right now

[musky1969]

Yesterday " Sunday " wether.com was interesting found some agresive fish in morning and evening but none would eat !!! This could front will be interesting

[dpear]

Cooler,plus wind makes for a great change bloom wise today.AND,the fish are going!
Came home via the Tug and that was much better as well except there was a new toxic development-10,yes 10,Jet skis!!!They went into a back bay east of Schoolhouse point so hopefully they aren't there with a houseboat.

[musky1969]

Wow did not expect all the action we got last evening after the cold front moved lots of fish all on mid lake reefs in 4ft. Or of water or less.Carol even got 2 on the Top Raider first time in years had that much top ^water action in one nite

[udee2159]

Cold front yesterday with a strong north wind all day until evening. Moved some nice fish, but only got a 41.5" to show for it. Saw two nice ones, but couldn't get them to fully commit. Looking forward to a little nicer weather today.

[dpear]

Yup 'different' is a good way to put it.Been quite a few 50s caught here the last week though and today,despite hot,sunny n calm,was a big fish day.Even the ol man caught a couple dandies.
One guest in Camp,name witheld to protect the innocent,is even suggesting his wife 'shake off' those pesky 40 inchers to avoid lowering their size average.She did her part n got a fat 48.5 today.

[dpear]

Yesterday was good for me,contrary to expectations(3)
This morning was bad,contrary to expectations.(0)
Big pike shallow again.Water temps early this AM back to 62.

[dpear]

Wow!Must be serious weather coming and/or full moon and/or muskie New Years eve and/or....Major movement today!!!

[JBlanck]

About time the big girls got moving!

[cwestly]

Headed up with the boss for a week tomorrow. Hope the front coming through tomorrow doesn't shut things down for too long. Hopefully it's not one of those "should've been here last week" trips!

[musky1969]

Started this morning at 6am seen 1 lazy follow, started my fall trolling now about 10 am got a 26" walleye and the queen Miss Carol got a 37" ski in 15 fow in a 1 pm for break be back out about 5!! This is the Queen trolling

[udee2159]

Yesterday we fished a long day (7a-10p). Weather was nicer, but wind picked up in the afternoon. Saw lots of fish all day and caught 3. Biggest was 47". Seems like they're eating more in the afternoon?

[dpear]

Sure agree with udee most days afternoons better. Probably a water temp thing. This AM worked. Finally a nice 48.��
