Sak Get out there this weekend!

[scrotcaster]

They are starting to move shallower, the bite was tougher last weekend though. Easy to find them, hard to make them eat.

I struggled on the east end,, both for salmon and walleye on sunday

Time to hit the smaller lakes ---- last night i took all my bass stuff out of my boat ----- time to hit da walleyes!!! This is the official weekend of hungry

 

[Shockwave]

Heading west to get the kid his youth doe and hopefully find a cow elk for the wife. I'm hoping to get both this weekend so we can get back on the boat for some good fall fishing.

FWIW, all the rain has slowed the fishing on one of my favorite smaller lakes. I suspect the falling water temperature has a part in this, but there's a spot where we've been pounding the eyes all summer in 8'ish ft of water, but 3 of us went out on Tuesday and struggled to put 9 keepers in the livewell. In the span of just a few days water temps fell from 77 degrees down to 66.

Once the weather straightens out, I expect the fishing to be back to excellent.

Get yourself a six pack of these and that should be all you need. LAZY IKE, not flat fish or wargglers or Yakima Baits. In the 70-80-90’s we rarely fished deeper than 12 foot(with a 90 merc) n caught da s**t out of them

Last two days the weather has been gorgeous and the bites still going strong. We had our 15 by 10 this morning in deeper water.

You're right on. My uncle was catching lots of walleyes up at Sak well before the big bite of the 80's. These were the only lures they used.

I've done really well on the Lindy Riverrocker.

Another beautiful day to be on sak!
Big fish was caught deep or else it'd have been released.

Planning to try to catch some salmon trolling tomorrow morning, no riggers so well be trying shallow. Never done this before. Plan to put in at govt bay. Any suggestions on what to use or where to start out would be appreciated. Ive heard they like jointed rapalas? I was gonna start out in 15 to 20ft of water. Do I need to get the cranks near the bottom, or will they come up and chase?

I would put out as many rods as you can with some running shallow, and some running deep. You will most likely see a fair number of salmon swirling around and hitting bugs(?) on the surface.

I bought some boards recently so Ill put shallow runners on the boards and then run 2 deeper divers behind the boat I think, hopefully the wind stays light through the morning.

How deep? East end or west? Hoping to sneak out this weekend or middle of next week.

Fun three hours this morning mid lake. No wind made it just gorgeous out on the big lake and the eyes were snappin!

I gotta get a couple of those and see if they have similar results. I do know that the “Ike” had a unique rolling action along with a tight vibration to it that the flatfish never had.

Peace
PS: i have had great fishing on the west end from 10/6 - 10/11.

 

[sweeney]

What do you consider the west end river section or van hook?

 

[walleyeman_1875]

Who was out yesterday fishing those wind blown points and shorelines.

I saw you leaving NCM on Friday, I was hoping it wasn't winterized but I guess you just confirmed!
