Fishing Report August 15, 2020

​The walleyes are biting.  All methods are working.  Trolling, jigging, live bait rigging, jigging raps, and bobber fishing are all catching fish.  The key is finding the fish and then they will bite.  We are catching a lot of small fish right now.   Some are keepers and some are just a tad small to keep.  If the growth continues as it has this summer, Most of the 2018 year class will be in the keeper category by Labor Day.

Northern fishing is steady.  All methods are working.  The largest fish seem to be caught on sucker minnows.  Trolling, casting, and jigging larger minnows are also catching nice pike.

Perch fishing is kind of spotty.  You can get perch, though, if you are persistent.  Worms or minnows under bobbers are working, as well as spinners and minnows, jigs and minnnows, and a bare hook with a minnow or worm.  Look for them in the weeds, on the flats, or off the main breaklines.  

I am still very optimistic for the fall fishing.  Those small walleyes are hungry and eager to bite.  They are showing up in the shallows when there is a chop on the water.  Multi-species fishing will be great.  Take advantage of our fall discount.  Give us a call and we can get you in on some quality fishing.
