Still Trolling!

The surface water temp continues to hover around 70 degrees. Many fish between 15” – 17” have been caught along with some big trophy walleyes! Pro
Tip of the week – secure your footing before netting a fish!
Sportsman’s Oak Island Lodge
Fall is around the Corner
The air is starting to cool down especially in the mornings and evenings. The best walleye bite has been in a combination of shallow depths, 16’-21’ areas and deeper 25’-30’ in the mud and around reefs. Orange and gold spinners or jigs have been working well using crawlers or minnows. The guides have been finding lots of nice fish. Water temp has cooled off to the lower 70’s.
Muskies have been biting in the bays using top water baits. Good luck fishing!
