Finally! Walleye fishing picks up
By Terry “Ace” Sjoberg HTF Columnist
Hello everybody,
The Walleye fishing has been much improved over the last week or two. I had the opportunity to spend more time on them this week and it has paid off for me. We were able to catch them on a couple of presentations and in a number of locations.
Lindy rigs tipped with crawlers and leeches and even a few minnows were effective for us. I was also able to catch a number of fish trolling crank baits along the breaks and out in open water, around some large main lake structures. Most of this action has come in Big Bay on the east end; I have not been on the west side in a number of days.
The muskie action has been very good for me for a few weeks now and with the full moon on its way I expect that to continue.
Water temps are in the mid 70s and the forecast is for warm midday temps and sun for the weekend. Topwaters have been stone killers for me and I see no reason for that to change anytime soon. Bucktails and gliders have also been very effective in moving fish. The deep weed edge, rocks and boulders, mid-lake reefs and island points and boulder flats in the main lake have all been very active.
The smallmouth bass action has also picked up as of late. The topwater action has been very good early and late in the day. Most of my fish have been coming on soft plastics like tubes and senco style baits. They are also hitting on cranks and spinnerbaits when the time is right. Rocks, docks, points, inshore rockpiles, island saddle areas and large main lake rock structures have all been very active for me the last week or so.
Have a great week everybody and please remember to put some back.
