2011-07-31 The muskie action improved this week. Justin Jaminski ended up boating 5 fish a 47.5, 44, 43, 42.5 and 38. Eric Larson boated six fish a PR 52.5, 48, 47, 46, 43, and 42. Most fish were caught on top waters, soft plastics and bucktails. On a reef last Sunday I boated a 47 with a topwater.Most of the walleye action came [...]

2011-07-24 Muskie action finally heats up!!! After some stifling heat last week, the cold front and rain on Saturday seems to have opened the gates and the bite has improved. Bill Filer kicked things off with a 35 incher, and Mark Bergeron ended his week with a nice 42 who fell for the figure 8. Dave caught a 47 Sunday, and Justin Jaminski [...]

2011-07-14 What a difference in weather. We've had nice pleasant weather for the last two weeks. Some heat, but not to bad. The last couple of days have been in the low seventies and low humidity. Fishing has been up and down. The Saltarski's did really well off the pontoon last week on walleye. They fished a main lake hump jigging mostly while anchored. Water [...]

2011-06-27 In lousy weather, Jim and Chris Kotek spent a week catching plenty of "eater" walleyes and released bigger fish. They had several fish frys, and caught and released some nice bass as well. We look forward to their return in 2012 - year in and year out, they find a way to catch fish. The return of normal temperatures will bring more consistency to [...]

2011-06-19 The mayflies started to hatch this past week in Pike Bay and in our Bay. Walleye have been caught shallow in these areas on shallow running baits. Fish have also related to summer humps in 23-26 feet. Diane and I did quite well on leeches and crawlers.  Patience has been the name of the game, as nearly everyone is marking plenty of fish, but  [...]

2011-06-09 Even Diane and Val caught fish this week. The walleye bite definitely improved with most fish being caught deep in 30-36 feet off Spider. The shallow bite in 5-6 feet has also been good in the evening.  At any given time you can walk across the property and likely be distracted by the aroma of someone's fresh fish fry.  A short stay this past [...]

2011-05-29 Memorial Day Weekend brought sporadic weather and fishing as well.  While everyone who went out caught fish, much of Saturday was spent looking up at the clouds trying to decide how much time there was between stormy bouts.  Both the fishing and the weather were more cooperative on Sunday.  Jessie Carlson, of Burnsville, caught and released a nice 28.5" walleye, and the rest of [...]
