Hot Summer Fishing
The weather is hot and so is the fishing!  Bait fishing using hammered gold or orange spinners tipped with a crawler or 3/8 oz. gold jigs tipped with a minnow has been the best approach.  Some anglers are also finding success pulling shad raps as well. Eighteen to twenty-two feet and twenty-eight to thirty-two feet outside of Pine Island, Little Oak Island and Garden Island are producing some nice fish. A nice variety of 14”-18” and 25”-30” walleyes have been found this week.

Island Fish Fry
Fishing continues to be very good and there is nothing better than enjoying authentic island fish fry midday during a day of fishing. Ask about booking a shore lunch when you book your next trip.  Our guides prepare the fish and all of the fixings while you take in the beautiful scenery of the area. This is definately an experience you won’t want to miss.

Fall is around the corner

We are roughly 8 weeks out from the legendary “Emerald Shiner Run” which normally occurs in late September and early October on the Rainy River and Four Mile Bay. This event normally brings in thousands of walleyes to the Rainy River as they chase the shiners upstream.  Get your reservations in now and take advantage of lodging as low as $40 per person lodging.

Life is better when I am fishing!
Isn’t that the truth! Nothing is better in my mind than a holding a rod on a beautiful day. Right now the weather is great and the bite is pretty darn good too. We still have openings for soft water fishing now through late October. Give us a call. Lodging, all-inclusive fishing packages, camping, boat slips and boat rentals are available.

The bite……
The best walleye action has been in 10’-18’ and 29’-36’. We are starting to use a little bit of controlled depth fishing but the best bite has been jigging using spinners tipped with a minnow or crawler this week. Some of the best fishing has been just outside of Graceton Beach, Zippel Bay and Garden Island.

Water is heating up, Weather is Beautiful & the Fishing is Excellent!
Northern areas of Big Traverse around Knight and Garden Island and southern areas of Little Traverse have been hot this week. Gold or pink jigs or spinners tipped with a leech, crawler or minnow have been working well. Bring a few bait options with you. The may flies hatched this week and have really pumped the walleye catch rate up. Water temperature is currently 74 degrees. Anglers are having the most success bait fishing but it won’t be long and controlled depth fishing will start.

Hot Walleye Action!

It has been a great week of fishing here on Lake of the Woods. Fishing the sandbars with hammered gold and chartreuse spinners tipped with a minnow or a leech has been working excellent.  Shallow and deep depths have both been working well 11’-16’ and 26’-32’.  Water temperature has been between 65-68 degrees this week.  Lots and lots of slot fish have been caught and released along with plenty for a limit to take home or fry up for a fish fry.  The week started off with some showers but the rest of the week looks beautiful. Time for some summer fun!

Lots of sun this week!
After a few wild storms this past weekend the weather is shaping up. It looks like we will be enjoying plenty of sun!

The best walleye bite has been up on the edges of the reefs in 22’-27’ of water in the northern areas of Big Traverse and areas outside Pine Island and Zippel Bay in 23’-27’ jigging gold or pink spinners tipped with a leech or minnow.  Crawlers should start hitting soon as well. June is known for excellent month for bait fishing walleyes on the south shore.  The weather is going to heat up this week, so look for the walleyes to move deep.  A little wind will help. A light walleye chop is always helpful in a successful day. The water temperature is warming up. We have warmed up 5 degrees this week, currently sitting at 64 degrees
