Walleye off the dock – 5/15/2013

What a fun season so far!

Once the ice finally left the bay just AFTER opener, the fishing off the dock turned on nicely. Several limits of fish have been caught so far in the later evening hours. Jigging with a leech or a minnow has been working the best. Fish will be in the warmer waters for awhile – it was reported yesterday that the water temperature up on the north side of the lake was just 37 degrees…..brrr.

If you haven’t heard already, we are introducing a new launch this season – with some delays, she will be in the water this week. This large boat will hold at least 35 people, we are looking to rate it for more for larger party groups. Contact us for more information.

As the guide season starts, there will be more fishing reports to come.

Hi all and Happy New Year!

Fishing has been fairly decent so far this season – most of our houses are setup on deeper water but customers moving around report that they are catching in shallower water like 10′-13′. Seems walleye are favoring shiners but fatheads and larva work as well.

We recommend the Lindy Rattlin’ Flyer Spoons as well as Genz Bugs and Worms.

Ice on our end of the lake is a solid 14′ +, no known issues or cracks. 1/2 ton vehicles or less right now towing a smaller fish house are okay (18 foot or less).

Be safe!

We have between 7″-8″ of ice on Isle Bay. Some have reported more, but it’s only consistent with the 7-8″. There is an ice fishing tournament in Isle Bay this weekend, fishermen are catching some, but a lot of small ones in the mix. We are hoping to start bringing some houses out later this

(More)…

Ice Fishing Season

We have the St. Paul Ice Fishing Show coming up next weekend (November 30-December 1) at the River Centre in St. Paul…hope you all can make it. If you are thinking about booking with us and are on the fence, the show is a great way to meet the staff and see a sample of one of our ice houses. We will have our 8×16 Ice Castle there for your viewing.

For those of you that have stayed with us in the past, we have done some remodeling since you were here last. We will have a brand new office located in the same building but the front door will be street facing. We added another bathroom with a shower to accommodate the winter crowd. We are excited to show it off!

Happy Thanksgiving and we’ll see you soon!

We are in the beginning of November and are making some exciting plans for the new year! We have a TV show in the works which will hopefully pan out, we have a brand new 48′ Launch on order as well as a brand new 24′ Rental Pontoon. For ice fishing, we have 4 new ice houses on order which will be very similar to our 2011 models, complete with Stove, Oven and Bathroom. Book in soon, the St. Paul Ice Fishing Show is right around the corner!

June Fishing Report

Well folks, not much to say other than the bite has been phenomenal this month. We slowed down a bit a week or so ago, but the bite has remained consistent. With few exceptions, the guides and launch boats have been faring well. Lots of big fish this year though, keepers are hard to come by but they are out there.

Fishing Report – February 2nd

The last few days have been cloudy and the perch bite has tapered off some. When the sun comes out, the fish are still active and the bite is good. Fish deep mud, transitional areas.

The walleye bite, with the cloud cover, has been better. Fish the flats and deep gravel. There have been a fair number of limits and big fish being caught. After dark has been a good bite as well.

As far as lures go, the Lindy Frostee Spoon in Firetiger generated the best results. The Rattlin’ Flyer is a go-to and still is working great for perch. The Ice Worm worked on the perch as well, even though the cloud cover slowed down the bite, this lure worked for a few bites at least.

Thanks!

Fishing Report – January 13th

Overall, the bite has been pretty solid. The lake has “opened up” as far as where you can go. We have safe ice (finally), but you do need to pay attention and watch for cracks. We did have to bridge a crack this weekend. There are roads now to the gravel and the mud – fishing has improved since there are more spots that are accessible.

Perch bite has been good on the shoreline breaks, in the holes and in the soft mud areas.

There have been a few limits of walleye as well but mostly larger ones.

We are still recommending the Lindy Rattlin’ Flyer with larva which is very efficient on the perch. For walleye, use a little bigger hook and minnow heads and fish top edges of dep gravel…

Fishing Report – January 26, 2012

Last few days bite has been good – it warmed up some, mainly perch and some walleye. If you can move around and cover ground there are a lot of big schools of perch out there – any transition areas, any deep mud breaks, along shorelines where it goes to the basin along the edges. Walleye are out in deeper areas but not to deep, mostly they will bite at 14-22″ depth mainly at night – not much for a day bite at all.

We finally have lots of ice, we have a road to Hennepin and a goat trail to the Gravel.

We are using larva for perch using frostees and rattlin’ flyers as well as some of the new Lindy Tackle. Try downsizing to a smaller pan fish type lure using some of the new Lindy Tackle – Ice Worms, Fat Boy, Toad, use a couple of larva and beat the bottom a little bit, lift it up and watch it disappear.

Fishing Report – January 12, 2012

Finally! Another Fishing Report…..Mike has been getting limits of perch on his guide trips…in the last week, he cleaned almost 200 perch! The ice in the bay is 13-15″ and we are allowing half ton vehicles – pulling wheel houses is okay. We are going to be asking people stay in the bay this weekend but next week we will likely allow traffic outside the bay. Wheelers to the gravel are okay – the ice is anywhere from 10-12 inches. Since there is still open water on the north end of the lake, we want the cracks to heal before traffic gets out there, the wind can still shift things around out there. For more, please listen to today’s audio report.
