It's Back To Fishing

72-75 degree water
25 Ft visibility has peaked
Weeds are up
50'' Muskie weighed at North Bay

• Bluegills are on their beds on the main lake. The eaters are hanging around any shoreline or weed bed. Remember the males guarding the nests insure a bright future for Big Green gills! If you must fish the beds please take a kid.
• Smallmouth can be found from 8-20 Ft of water. The action is good but nothing close to the ''catching'' last week. Leeches, crawlers, and small crankbaits have worked well this week. Minnows work well but are hard to keep alive with the high surface temperatures.
• Northern Pike action over the weeds is very good to great. The size of the fish is not very good, but it's great to see these smaller fish for the future. It's getting close to 'big chub' time and the weed edges. Spinnerbaits, big crankbaits, or bobbers with minnows over the weeds will produce fish.
• Walleyes have been a little slow with the stable weather and clear water. The new weeds should start producing fish on crawler harnesses and leeches this week.
• Lake Trout are still providing action but could slow down as they move deeper. As the water temperatures rise anglers should move west on the lake for better action. 80-120 Ft of water using minnows and Sutton spoons should give you some action.
