Sportsman’s Lodge South Shore Fishing Report
1/15/2014 Afternoon bite has been best lately. We saw a dip in the fishing success over last weekend but now that the weather has evened out, the bite is getting better by the day. The best fishing has been in 24-30 feet of water. Lots of suspended fish are being found and tend to be the slot and larger sized walleyes. Bring or rent a vexilar to have the most success at catching these walleyes. Mid-season is upon us and that usually means more saugers. We are seeing a nice amount along with slot walleyes. Check out all of the big fish on our Facebook page. The best tackle has been pink stop signs and glow jigs. Some anglers are swearing by the minnow head and others the full minnow.Ice Conditions: Currently we have 28-30 inches of ice in the areas we fish and travel. Trail Conditions: The lake and land trails continue to be groomed 1-2 times a week. Get out and enjoy the trails today! For more information about specific trails click here. Fish House Rentals available until March 31! The weather stays cooler in the northland and remember, the state law allows us to have our houses on the lake until March 31.
