Northwest Angle Area Fishing Report- August 5

           In Canadian waters, last week’s warming trend has put the trophy walleyes back on the bite on the reefs in the Little Traverse.  The area around Massacre I has been a good place to start looking for the big guys.  Expect to catch numbers of solid keepers as well.  Many of the reefs up north have been serving up numbers of fish, but plan to sort through some little guys to get your keepers.  In Minnesota waters, the areas of Lunatic I., Little Oak I., Crowduck I., and Oak I. have been productive.

            Muskie fishing has been active with the warmer weather, with the evening continuing to be one of the better times of the day to fish.  The big pike have been showing up offshore in areas where walleyes are being caught.  Smallmouth bass have been active on the shorelines, although few anglers are targeting them now. Anglers looking for perch have been doing well on jumbos, and the lake trout report has been good, with most fish being caught over 80 feet of water.

Northwest Angle Area Fishing Report- July 29

            In Canadian waters, the rock reef walleye bite has changed somewhat 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.  Along with the walleyes, there have been some nice crappies and perch showing up in our daily catch.

            Muskie fishing has improved lately, but the overall action is still inconsistent.  The water temp remained in the 70s for the whole week, so expect action to improve if this trend continues.

            In Minnesota waters, Oak Pt., and Little Oak I. have been producing walleye; covering ground with spinner rigs to contact active fish on structure has been working well.
