The weather has been windy and wild
over the last week at the Angle, but the fishing has remained excellent! In Canadian waters, the rock reef
walleye bite has changed over the week, the fish have been scattered on the rockpiles
in the Little Traverse area, so moving often from reef to reef has been the
best game plan for those larger fish.
Fishing farther north on deep reefs or working point areas has been a
better plan for numbers and action.
The cooler weather has given us a little preview of fall fishing, with
some nice crappies and perch showing up in our walleye catch.
Muskie
fishing has been good, but they seem to be actively feeding for only short
periods during the unsettled weather.
PM hours have been the best, especially the evening, when the water is
at its warmest temps. Pike have
been affected in a similar way by the weather; trolling crankbaits has been
productive for the bigger ones.
In
Minnesota waters, Lunatic I, Fourblocks, and Little Oak I. have been producing
walleye; covering ground with spinner rigs to contact active fish on structure
has been working best.
