Fishing & Hunting Report

The Woods Watch: 7/9/2020 With roughly 5 to 6 weeks left of antler growth, in typical fashion, bachelor groups of bucks are being spotted on a regular basis. Fawns continue to venture out with the does more and more. Now is a great time to keep putting minerals out to help improve antler growth as well…

Walleye fishing has remained very consistent, finding fish as shallow as 5′, and as deep as 32′. Pulling spinners with crawlers and covering water up shallow during the morning and afternoon, then pushing out deep during the day and finding fish off structure out in the mud with either jigs and frozen shiners or pulling…

The fawns have dropped, and will start to venture off with the doe’s more and more each day. Bucks are right around the midway point of the antler growth period. With bucks needing the nutrition for antler growth, and doe’s needing it for feeding fawns as well as themselves, now is the time to get minerals and…

It was another great weekend for fishing! The fish throughout the day were somewhat scattered, so staying active and moving around different reefs and depths to stay on active fish seemed to produce the best results. Technique didn’t seem to make a huge difference, catching them jigging, pulling spinners, and slip bobbers, however all the…

Fishing has remained great throughout the lake. Fish have been in a variety of depths, finding them as shallow as 8 feet on top of structure, and as deep as 35′ out in the mud, so it is a great time of year to catch fish any way you prefer, weather it’s jigging, pulling spinners,…

It has been a very good spring for both numbers of fish and quality. Most people are still jigging with frozen shiners, but some are starting to pull spinners with crawlers. Most people fishing the west side of the lake are finding walleyes in the 8-15 foot range, whereas the East side of the lake…

Sunday was a productive day for Austin, finding fish schooled up off of mid-lake structure. Slowly driving around, looking for fish with electronics, and then anchoring up and vertically jigging was by far the most productive strategy. Most of the fish were in 26 feet of water. Gold and blue jigs, with frozen shiners, were…

Our owner, Nick, was lucky enough to get out on the lake with his family this weekend. Their best fishing was in 13 feet of water near Elm Point. All of the fish were caught on jigs and minnows. Live chubs seemed to produce better than frozen shiners. They had better luck moving around, rather…

Two of our mangers, Austin and Brent, got out after work for a couple hours and were able to bring a limit of fish home, and also got a bonus 30″. Anchored up and vertically jigging, with frozen shiners in 25 feet off of a rock reef, was the most productive technique. Using electronics to…

Fishing was good at the NorthWest Angle. Green or Orange jigs with shiners worked best in 16 to 18 feet of water. Water temp is still mid 30’s-40’s in most places, so expect fish to move shallower as the water warms.
