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!

Thank you

We are now closed for the season. We will be reopening on May 9th. If you need to get in touch with someone please call 218-634-2548 and leave a message. We will be returning calls as soon as possible.

Fiahing and Road report 3/20/13

The most fish are being caught at 30-31 feet of water during the day with a good morning and evening bite at 14-18 feet of water. Jigging with a frozen shiner and chartreuse or pink has been the ticket.
Our road is now maintained out 3 miles past the crossing. The ice remains good. If you are venturing off the road be aware there is open water in the washout area.
Thanks to everyone for a great winter season!

Fishing report 3/14/13

Fishing has improved some. The small sauger are still plentiful but the walleye are now biting also. Many slot fish are being caught. This doesn't help the bucket, but sure is fun!
Electronics are a helpful tool. Try gold or glow pink to start, but be willing to change it up if those are not working.
Some portable fishermen are finding the northern bite in the shallows. Large perch are also being caught.
The end of ice will be here soon. Come visit us before you need to be pulling the boat along!


Jake caught this nice slot fish over the weekend!

Updated fishing report

Fishing action has increased.
Fishing off Cyrus road has been good in 27-30 feet of water. The early and late bite are also good in shallower water. Chartreuse glow has been a color of choice along with red or pink. Light weight presentation is still an attractant. Many small sauger, but the walleye are now starting to mix in more. The perch and tullibee are also biting in greater numbers.
Fishing on Starren Shoals reef has been good also. Many people are finding slot fish and some great keeper sizes. Around 30 feet of water is a good depth. Gold with a live chub on the deadstick seems to be doing well.
Northern are coming into the shallows for those wanting to try some tip-up fishing. Best of luck and happy fishing!

Fishing Report Update

Overall fishing has remained spotty. The small sauger bite has incresed as we as tillubee and perch. However, the walleye are still elusive. Electronics are still the key to finsing the suspended fish. Evening bite has been producing some of the keepers. Glow pink and chartreuse have been colors of choice with gold following close behind.

Fishing Report

We are still catching many small sauger. The keeper bite is still spotty. Keep using electronics to increase your chance of catching the suspended fish. Glow red and gold are showing the most action.
The bite on the reefs is better. There is more walleye action as well as big perch and some tillibee. Happy fishing everyone!

Fishing report 2/15/2013

The bite has increased over the last couple days! 29-33 feet of water is doing good during the day and shallower for an evening bite. The small sauger are plentiful with keeper size a little more elusive. Glow red is producing the most. Electronics are still a good idea for the suspended fish. Happy Fishing!

fishing report 2/12/13

Cyrus Road - Fshing is still spotty. 30 feet of water seems to be our best depth right now. Electronics are still helping to catch the suspended walleye. Small sauger are still the number one item being pulled through the ice. Red and pink glow with a rattle has had the most action, but gold is also doing well.
Starren Shoals - Fishing on the reef has been productive. Many are catching a variety of fish including perch and tullibee. 28 feet of water has been good. A live fathead on a pink glow jig is working well, but gold is doing good too.
Hope to see you soon, happy fishing!

Reef and south end fishing report

Fishing off Cyrus road has been spotty. People are catching fish, but there are a lot of little guys to weed through before you get the keepers. Jigging with light weight presentation is doing the best. As always, use your electronics to find the suspended fish.
Fishing on Starren Schoals was good yesterday in about 27'-30' of water. Sauger, perch and walleye are all being caught. Copper with glow red or pink seemed to bring in the most fish.
Groups are enjoying the variety of fishing the south some and then getting to go north to the reef. Call now to get your ride north booked as space is very limited!
Happy Fishing!

Reef and fishing report

The fishing has remained slow but steady. Electronics are still a great help. Sauger are being caught more frequently than walleye. However, when you get a walleye it is of nice size. Keep an active minnow on the deadstick. Back that up with a glow rattle or stop sign on your jigging line. Change your presentation if the suspended fish are not biting.
We have pulled two houses up to the reef and two more will go tomorrow. This allows a very limited number to get in on a great fishing opportunity. Call us today to reserve your spot in one of these houses!
Happy Fishing!

Fishing report 1/30/13

Fishing in 28-31 feet of water. The bite has picked up and numbers of fish caught are increasing. Walleye are suspending and electronics are helping to get them hooked up. A glowing and  light weight presentation has been producing the most. The deadstick still seems to be doing very well. We are getting a greater number of tullibee caught, so have fun with them.
We are planning to pull some houses up to the reefs soon. There is currently a large pressure ridge to deal with, so we need to work on that. Once we have houses moved we will offer reef fishing for $110 per person per day. This includes transportation to and from the reefs. These houses are on a first come first serve basis, so give us a call to book your reef house!
Happy Fishing!

1/24/13 fishing report

The bite has increased slightly with the pressure stabilizing. Fish are still suspending so electronics are highly recommended. Use a small glow jig with bait to attract them in. However, they seem to be biting on the live bait deadstick. Bouncing the bottom a few times then bringing it up a 2-3 feet is also getting some follow and bite action.
We have our Pine Island road plowed out to about 24 feet of water. Off the main road is a wheel house row at 9 miles and another at 12 miles past the crossing, 32 and 35 feet of water respectively.
Stay warm stay safe, and happy fishing!
