The Week of Wind…

Postponements, cancellations and relocations were the result. After a spring and summer of few weather problems Mother Nature reminded us of her power.

Forced to inland waters on Tuesday we were happy to catch 16 smallies in 5 hours. The north wind was very chilly.

The return to the big lake earned mixed results as three out of seven spots held fish. The five best ranged from 3.90 to 4.87.

Hopefully, next week will allow us on our prime spots…

Note #1 Three good fish not pictured were quickly released because of bleeding—not deep-hooked or from deep water. Likely the virus.

Note #2 We will begin “meat” fishing in October.
(All artificial baits targeting perch, walleye, etc)
Still available dates. … See MoreSee Less

Smallmouth aplenty the past couple days on the big lake…

Good anglers finessed well over 30 smallies on Wednesday and the “unknown angler” had a great day in new areas on Thursday.

I know the calendar shows it is August but my smallmouth are indicating September. And I’m fine with this. … See MoreSee Less

Usually the fall fishing starts after Labor Day.

A week ago we saw glimpses of the “September”
pattern but my last two exploration outings tell me we are in it—totally.

Bigger fish, lots of movement and “barfed” baitfish of all sizes.

5.80 was the biggest with four others around 5 lbs. I’m looking forward to this week’s trips. … See MoreSee Less

A busy week of visiting the big lake and an inland lake.
Fun people enjoyed some good times and endured some slow times. However, several trophies and near-trophies were caught.
A couple fives, several fours, and a covey of threes kept us going.
Lots of fish and lots of pics.

(Thursday was an exceptional day with 22 smallies caught on a half day outing. The September pattern is on.) … See MoreSee Less

New friends battle some wind to catch several smallmouth from three to five pounds.

Three different methods are working but a couple have become consistent this past week. A few days of southwest winds seem to have organized the baitfish.

What we normally do in September is starting to work—a bit prematurely.

Fun stuff continues … See MoreSee Less

A busy week with trips everyday. We’ve worked hard with similar results until Thursday.

Very good smallmouth have come on board daily but our numbers were lacking. Thursday might be a turning point as our total numbers doubled and several fish over 4.5 lbs were caught.

Good fishermen all week…

Thanks to Quiet Cove Baits for the quick delivery of our much needed jigs!
