Different Methods, Same Results…

There has certainly been the need for flexibility this summer.  What’s the saying?…if at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.  Such is the case.  Both bait fishing and controlled depth fishing have been producing walleyes but it just depends on the day and the water that determines which method is used.  Bait fishing has remained constant and has produced walleyes in about 14’-20’ water.  Hammered gold spinners tipped with a leech or crawler is always a good bet to what they will bite on.  As far as the controlled depth fishing, the hard north wind has muddied the water, so most anglers have headed north.

The water has receded somewhat within the last few days but because it is still higher than normal we continue to use our centralized loading/unloading system for our charter boats.  Some of our boat slips are available for use at this time.  Call our front desk at 1-800-862-8602 to find out what’s available as they are on a reserved-basis only.  However, because of the fluctuating water, electricity is not available at this time.  Next week’s weather looks like summer as the highs are in the 80’s with mostly sunny skies.
