Weekly Fishing Report: Jun 5-12, 2010

The fishing was decent to good depsite the not so decent weather conditions during the past week. Lots of rain and drizzle, very little sunshine and some strong winds made for a somewhat difficult week in terms of lake conditions.

Walleyes bit well most of the week, but the average size was down for most anglers. Depths were varied again this week. Some days were reported 6-10 feet, others 20-25 feet. Jigging with a minnow was the most utilized presentation of the week. Depsite the slower action in terms of size, there were still fish in the 24, 25, 26 and 27 inch class caught and released this past week.

Northern action was great again in Obabikon Lake. Others caught northerns and smallies in Sabaskong casting smaller spinner baits (Candy Spins/Tinsel Spins) and small meps (#3, #4.)

Muskies were nipping at walleye anglers presentations as well as blowing up on baits northern fisherman were throwing. Mid 40 inches up to 4 foot were the estimates on some of the nicer fish following and eating baits before the season opens. We can throw for them legally on June 19 so remember the season is still closed for now.

The week ahead shows some promise in terms of sunshine and stable weather. Let's hope for a little warmth to dry out some of the water soaked areas up here.

Keep the lines tight and set the hook with authority!
