Northwest Angle Area Fishing Report- September 19

            In Canadian waters, the walleyes are moving into fall patterns; dropoffs outside shallow bays, deep points, and current flow areas have all been productive.  Plan to go through a lot of bait.  There has been some nice catches of jumbo perch this week on mud areas, and the crappies have become more active with the colder weather. 

            Big pike and muskie have been showing up near the schools of walleye, and hitting on jigs and chasing fish being brought in.  Breaking out the trolling gear and making passes near schooled walleye, crappie and perch is a good alternative to casting right now.

Northwest Angle Area Fishing Report- September 11

           In Canadian waters, the recent hot weather had the walleyes using reefs in most sections of the lake; following this weekend’s cool down, the fish moved off structure in most areas. Fishing point areas or running out to reefs in the deeper water around Skeet I have been the most productive patterns in the last few days. In Minnesota waters, the Little Oak I. and Crowduck I. areas have been producing walleye.

Muskie fishermen are still seeing good numbers of follows and landing big fish.  Following the cooling weather, some of the biggest smallies in the lake have been showing up on rock points in 15 to 25 feet of water.  Crappie fishing has slowed down with the hotter weather, but should be improving soon, but the jumbo perch have been biting well in the last week.

Northwest Angle Area Fishing Report- September 4

           On the walleye scene in Canada, look for numbers of fish in the Skeet Island area; make sure to play fish you plan to release slowly when they are coming out of the deeper water up there.  In Minnesota waters, look around the Little Oak and Garden Island areas to find your walleye.

            Muskie anglers are reporting some good action and big fish lately. Shallow running cranks and bucktails have been working, and turning some big pike as well.  Smallmouth bass anglers have been catching some impressive sized bass while throwing spinnerbaits around reed beds and what’s left of the summer cabbage.  Crappie and perch are still being caught in good numbers by anglers willing to spend the time looking for them.
