7-12-13 Fishing Report

The south end of the lake hasn't changed much.Fishing in 30-33 feet of water is still getting results. Drifting with a crawler and harness has been decent or jigging a frozen shiner.
Many are starting to pull downriggers with improved success.
On the north end the rock piles are still producing. West of Little Oak is showing success also. Drifting with crawlers and spinners seems to be getting the best results.
Have a great weekend and happy fishing!

Fishing Report 7-5-13

The warm calm weather has been great for yard work but not for fishing. Things have slowed a bit, but there are still plenty of fish being caught.
Morris gap and lighthouse gap are still active in the morning and evening hours. Shallow water during, around 18-22 feet, during these hours are getting results. Use a jig and frozen shiner for the action.
33-34 feet of water between the Canada line and snowmobile trail has been good during the day. Again, jig with a frozen shiner works, or try crawlers and drifting.
The islands are producing around the drop off area in 30-32 feet of water. Jig and minnow has been the best up there also.
Some people are starting to down-rig with a success. This will become an increasing trend over the next week or two.
Stay safe and happy fishing!

Fishing Report 6-27-13

Morris Gap and Graceton Beach areas have been the good the last few days. Fish are biting in the 20-30 feet range. Drift with a crawler or jig with a frozen shiner.

Garden Island is still producing fish too. Drifting a spinner seems to be the best answer up there.

Still many slot fish are being netted. Most people are limiting out as well.

Enjoy another great weekend on the big water, and happy fishing!

Fishing Report 6/25/13

Fishing on the south end of the lake has slowed down a little, but is still decent. Action is increasing on a spinner and crawler while drifting. Early morning and late evening bites are still the best. 20-24 feet of water early, with 12-20 feet for the evening bite.

Fishing the islands has stayed consistent. Many slot size fish along with a good mix of keepers are being caught. Jigging frozen minnows, or drifting the edge of the drop with leeches or crawlers.

Be careful when in either Morris Gap or Lighthouse Gap. There are a lot of logs stuck just under water because of the extensive rains.

The weather looks great over the next few days. Highs in the 80's and light winds. Come enjoy some fabulous fishing and great family fun!

Fishing Report 6-18-13

Fishing on the south end is still good. 6-20 feet of water off Pine Island. Drifting with a spinner and night crawler has been the best producer. The fish are biting lightly, so stay aware for the small nibble.
Fishing off the west bar of Garden Island or west side of Little Oak Island are also great areas to try. Drifting with a crawler is working up there as well.
Best of luck and happy fishing!

Fishing report 6-14-13

Sounds like a broken record, but fishing has remained consistent. Morning and evening bite on the south end in 10-12 feet of water has increased. Pink and gold are still best with a frozen shiner or leech.
Mid-day has been best across at Garden or Knight islands. Fishing off the drop of the rock bed seems to be producing. 22-26 feet of water with gold jig and shiner.
There are still many slot fish and trophies being caught, so have patience.Enjoy your time on the lake and happy fishing!

Fishing report 6-12-13

Fishing is decent. The morning and evening bite have definitely been the best. Pink, orange or gold are colors to start with. The fish seem to be a little deeper, around 22-28 feet of water. A frozen shiner on a jig works good, or trolling with a spinner has improved too.
Fishing off Garden, Knight or Bridges islands and the reefs have been really good also. Find the edge of the reef and jig with a leech or shiner in 20 feet of water.
This weekend looks like great summer weather (finally). Low winds and highs in the 70s. Join us on the deck for a cold beverage after your day on the lake! Happy fishing.

Fishing Report 6/5/13

Fishing is still very active. The walleye are taking a midday nap from 12-2 but the rest of the day hours have been good.
Anchoring with gold or pink jigs and a frozen shiner or leech is working. Some are also trolling with spinners and having success.
Fish are being marked in 10-28 feet of water. Today 20 seems to be a good depth. However yesterday 16 was great. Move around if you are not finding the fish. Don't be afraid to leave the pack and try somewhere no one else is at.
Starren Shoals is also producing a good number of walleye. The edge of the drop around 20 feet of water is working good for that area.
An average high of 68º over the next 5 days and a low wind makes for great fishing conditions.
Best of luck and happy fishing!

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

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!
