Fishing report 5/30/13

Fishing has slowed slightly, but is still steady. Most are anchoring and jigging outside Morris or Lighthouse Gap.The depth to be in is 12-16 feet of water. Orange, chartreuse, or pink glow jigs with a frozen shiner is getting the action. Leeches are producing strikes as well. Garden Island is also starting to pick up off the point of Starren Shoals.
Weather over the weekend might require some rain gear. Friday is the wettest and warmest of the three days with a 60% chance of storms and winds in the 10-12 mph range with a high of 71º. Saturday has a 30% chance of showers with a high in the low 50º range. A little gustier wind though, around 15 mph. Sunday should be the nicest day. A low wind speed and low chance of rain. Sunny with a high of 60º looks great!
Enjoy the weekend and happy fishing!

Rain, rain, rain, SUN!

After three straight days of rain we finally have a beautiful sunny day. We received a few inches of rain over those days which made the river and bay muddy. Once you get out past the gap the water clears up. The clear water in front of Pine Island has been today's hot spot. Fishing in 10-12 feet of water. Glow pink and chartreuse are, again, the best colors along with a frozen shiner. The number of keepers is increasing with slot fish and larger thrown into the mix.
The forcast going into the holiday weekend looks great! An average high of 64º over the next four days with light winds and sunny skies.
Come join us for some great fishing, great food and a lifetime of memories!

5/20/13 fishing report

Fishing remains good. Slot fish are still being caught in high numbers with many keepers in the mix. Continue fishing in shallow, about 6-12 feet of water. Color isn't as important as having your jig glow.
Today is windy and rainy, and tomorrow looks about the same. Wednesday dries up with low wind. Thursday into the weekend look nice.
We are looking forward to beautiful weather and fabulous fishing this holiday weekend. Happy Fishing!

Fishing report 5/17/13

Fishing is still great. 6-12 feet of water has been producing the most just outside Morris gap. Some people are doing well in the river also. Chartreuse or pink glow with a frozen shiner is getting the most action. There are a lot of slot fish caught, so a limit might take a while to get. Trophy fish are abundant right now too.
Weather over the weekend is supposed to be cloudy with chance of rain. High temps in the 68º range and light wind around 10 mph.
Sounds like the perfect fishing conditions. Good luck and happy fishing!

Fishing Report 5/13/13

Although the weather was cold and windy walleye opener was a success! Boats were able to reach the lake (in the shallows) or fish on Four Mile Bay. The action was good and consistent throughout the day. It was hard to get a limit of fish because too many fish were in the slot or larger. Although I don't know many people that would complain about a good day of catching slot fish.
The fish have been biting in shallow, around 8-10 ft of water. Frozen shiners with a glow jig is getting the most action. Jig color seemed unimportant.
The weather for the next few days looks like an improvement. Today (Monday) cloudy with a chance of rain, but a high of 68º. Tuesday will have a slight chance of storms but a warm 77º high and gusts of 20 mph out of the south. Wednesday looks to be a great day! 70º high with NW winds at 15 mph.
Happy fishing! We can't wait to see you on the water.

OPENER Info Update

We are finally at fishing opener weekend.
The lake has ice at about 1/2 mile past the Morris gap, that is 20 ft of water. Fish were being graphed in shallower around 12-15 feet of water.
Saturday's weather is supposed to be cloudy with a high of 49º and a north wind from 20-25 mph. This might push the ice flow in shallower. If winds are high you can get to the river via Four Mile Bay, but use caution as this can be shallow in spots.
Sunday looks to be the better of the two days. A high of 55º, sunny and only gusts of 10 mph will make the lake much calmer.
Best of luck to all this weekend. Fish on!

Opener is almost here.

It is very nice to see the sun shinning and open water. We have one of our charters at the dock and ready to go. Bostic Bay is completely open. The lake has opened to about 1/4 mile out. However we are scheduled for highs in the 60's over the next few days. That will certainly help melt the ice. Early fishing is normally in shallow water, so we should be in great shape for walleye opener this weekend. If you are heading over to the river be careful, there are many logs and trees coming down river. We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend!
