Fishing Report September 12, 2020

​The fall fishing is in full swing and the fish are hungry and eager to bite.  Multi-species has been great this past week.  Walleyes, Northerns, and Perch, have all been good to very good.

Walleyes are being found in the shallow water 6-8' along the shoreline points.  The wind side of the point seems to be the best.  Jigs and minnows are the preferred method of catching them right now.

Northern fishing is very good.  Trolling larger spoons is a sure bet.  Fish the deepest weeds just inside the shoreline break in 13-15'.  Look for areas that have a lot of life on your electronics and you will catch pike.  Some fish are also in 7-10', as well.  Fish are being caught while pursuing  walleyes on jigs and minnows.  We also have had some success on big sucker minnows under bobbers.  Using this method, you need to find the thickest weeds possible.

Perch have been scattered, but the size has been real good.  You probably won't sit in one spot and catch a limit of perch, but if you move around you will be able to find the fish.  The depth we are finding them ranges from 4'  all the way to 25', so you need to be willing to look around and try different structures.

We have decided to close the resort on October 4 this year.  We thank all of our guests for coming during this season of uncertainty.  Thank you for trusting us to keep you safe.  Oh, by the way, the fishing should be good from now to October 4, so if you want to come up, we have space for you.  Still offering our fall 20% discount on cabin rental.  The future of walleye fishing is very bright on Lake Winnie, so if you want to make plans for next season, give us a call, prime dates are filling up fast for 2021.
