Forum: Walleye

Hey Yo, Sorry for the long absents guys but I have been way busy the last three weeks and haven't had much time for the putter. The Walleye action has been really horrible the last 3 weeks. The mid day bite is almost non exsistent on the entire lake. The only action has been just before dark...

Went out on Pepin Saturday (6/12). the bite was a little tough ended up with one keeper walleye and a white bass. i was pullin a #7 shad in 20' of water. the others i talked to on the lake had about the same luck.

Wednesday, the wife, kids and I took a break from hitting local lakes around the farm and made the drive over to Winni. We launched at by the dam and pretty much stuck to fishing between the dam and cut foot. We did a little pre work in the area, looking for cabbage in 9-11 feet of water,...

I was joined by my old man last Tues and Wed for some walleye fishing. We fished a small Grand Rapids area lake and worked a few of the sunken gravel humps. We hit the same 5-6 humps staying up to 30 minutes on each and would usually pick up 3-5 walleyes on each. If no bite within 10 minutes...

Headed up to a little lake near Alex., never been there so I had to do a little searching, like most walleye stocked lakes.....Go find the weeds....This was true on this lake as well. The bite window was kinda small.....We didn't fish any early morning so it was afternoon and evening. The bite...

Well the annual spring winni trip was a short one for me this year, But My boys school activities come first. I arrived Sunday at Williams Narrows at 11:30 in the morning, the weather was great so we hit the big lake. Things started out real slow on the North shore so we took a run to Mallard's...

Haywood, Bug & I hit the lake around 10:30 Sat. morning. Wind was a little NUTS in Vineland but tolerable. We went out and started drifting in 25' drifting into shallower water, nothing......All of a sudden we heard a thunder rumble and I told Haywwod.....I don't really like fishing when there is...

After being on the waiting list all of last year and never making the draw to fish, I finally get to fish the first event this year on Pool 3 starting Thursday as a co-angler. Top ten after Friday make it to Saturday. I hope I can draw the 2 pros that will make it there. I will report back after...

Had a pretty decent opener with my bros again this year. We found fish in deeper areas that we normally fish later in the year. Most of our fish were caught on leeches in 25 to 30 feet of water. I did get some fish on crawlers, but our best bite was on leeches. Most of our fish were in the...

Hey Yo, The weather was beautiful but the fishing was different. Has had been expected, there just weren't a lot of fish in the shallows on the first day of the Walleye season. All of our fish were caught in 24ft or deeper and we found them to be very scattered in many areas. The best...

spent about 5 hrs on the water with my dad sat morning on a small lake between Long Prairie and Osakis with no luck on any walleyes. This lake has always produced fish for us in the past. We ended up boating 2 LM Bass and 1 4 lb pike ( all caught by dad). We pulled jigs, lindy rigs, and some...

Anybody make it out to Buffalo for opener? Any reports to speak of?

Just incase anyone was wondering.

Hi The weekend we've all been waiting for! It looks like Mother Nature might throw us a bone in the weather department and offer some decent conditions for a change. The hazard markers have been placed and all the docks are in at the public accesses... we're set to go. There has been a lot of...

I'm not sure where I picked this up so not sure who deserves the credit. A week ago we fished the IGL Walleye Opener and did alot of trolling at night. I had been thinking about trying some of the different commercial lighting systems that are sold specifically for planer boards. We had always just...

So where does everyone think the fish will be come opener on the lake you are going to try? Don't need to name the lake but do you think you will start shallow, sand, rock, gravel, mud, bars, breaks, flats, minnows, leeches, artificals, ect... Every body of water is different but it would be neat...

Hey Yo, Just a couple of week to go for the Minnesota Walleye opener. This is one of the few times I envy those people in Wisconsin.:rolleyes: The ice has been gone for a long time here on Lake Vermilion and the DNR Walleye hatchery has already completed it's egg take opperations. Things...

:eek::eek: Caught on Rainy last week. MagicStik

Hey Yo, The Pike river has opened up all the way into Pike bay. The DNR is getting things ready over at the hatchery and should have the nets up in a few days. If you haven't had a chance to see what goes on over there you should check it out. Bring your kids and spend an hour or so watching...

YouTube- 60 walleye in a minute and a half !

So...did anyone book their 2010 BWCA trips yet? I have a 5 day trip planned for early June. We are heading up to through the Moose Lake EP to Knife Lake to chase Lakers again. The second trip will be in early August...heading in through Hog Creek and base camping on Perent Lake. This will be a...

Won't be long now!! What are your plans for this years opener? I know Pete and I and whoever else will be on the upper Mississippi once again.

Hey Yo, With open water just a few weeks away I can't help thinking about all the great fishing that is coming our way. This could be the best Smallmouth action we have ever seen on vermilion. Monster year classes from 02' and 04 are now in that 14 to 17 inch range and the numbers of fish...

Drove over 494 bridge today and saw the first barges of the year coming up the river... Looks like it opened up a couple weeks early. On the way back over the bridge in the afternoon saw about 6 boats out fishing the wingdams south of pigs eye... Open water is almost here!
