It won’t be long!

The ice is coming along nicely, we are very happy with the early, cold start to the year. We currently have 6-10 inches of ice around the island, a little less and a little further out. We have a couple of inches of snow that is also blanketing the ice. We do not have an official start date yet but we anticipate within the next 10-12 days. It takes a little longer around here than the south end to get things sealed up due to current. We are excited to start but safety first!

The season starts soon! Do you have your reservations in yet?

Now for winter…

This last week was the end of the summer season for Sportsman’s Oak Island.  The walleye, crappie and muskie bite did not disappoint anglers as there was a good bite to be had.  Reports also indicated nice-size fish with good color as well.  The fish were not that picky as they were found to be biting on either the West or the East side of Falcon Island, as well as the South side of Oak Island.

Our island outpost, Sportsman’s Oak Island Lodge is now closed until December, but our reservation desk is open year round. Make your winter reservations now online or by calling 800-772-8411!

October 19th…

…is the last day of fishing from Sportsman’s OakIsland.  They will re-open mid December. The office is open year round to answer any questions and take reservations.  Gold jigs with frozen shiners have been producing limits of walleyes.  The most effective areas have been around Little Oak and Oak in the 18’-24’ depths.  You may even be able to catch some perch, crappie or bass as well.  The muskie bite is active around the shore lines and the rocks and they have started to follow the walleyes as well.  Fall temperatures look to be in the mid 40’s to low 50’s for the highs, with lows in the mid-30’s. The wind varies anywhere from 9-18mph.

To the Island…

Hammered gold jigs tipped with minnows or crawler harnesses with leeches is producing the best chances of the walleye bite. The areas of 18’-25’ around Little Oak still are producing the best chances for fish to be caught.  Be on the lookout for other species of fish as you may even be able to catch some perch, crappie or bass as well.  The muskie bite is active around the shore lines or in the weed beds. Fall is in the air next week with temperatures in the mid-40’s to low 50’s with chances of rain and high winds.

Around the Island we go…

The muskie bite is producing in the late evenings around the shore lines or in the weed beds. Smaller lures with a slower presentation are the best choice for getting them to bite but if you like a faster option, the cowgirls are the way to go.  The walleyes continue to hit on hammered gold jigs tipped with minnows or crawler harnesses with leeches in 25’-30’ water around GardenIsland or Little Oak.   The weather looks to be about the same as the south end with partly sunny to partly cloudy skies, highs in the high-60’s to low 70’s with just a slight chance of rain and wind throughout the week.

What kind of fish can we find this week?

Choosy walleye is what we’ve been finding.  Slow and steady seems to be winning out when fishing for walleye. Hammered gold jigs with minnows or crawler harnesses with leeches in 25’-30’ water around GardenIsland or Little Oak seem to be producing the bite. Either anchoring or drifting have been producing results too.  The muskie bite is still somewhat finicky but doing better in the late evenings around the shore lines or in the weed beds especially when the moon is bright.  Smaller lures with a slower presentation seem to be having the best luck but if you like a faster option, the cowgirls seem to be the lure of choice.  There’s also been reports of the start of some crappie action and also the northerns and perch have been around as well.

The weather looks to be about the same as the south end with partly sunny to partly cloudy skies, highs in the high-60’s to low 70’s with just a slight chance of rain throughout the week.
