Anybody catching fish at the hook?

Last two weeks have really been slow, for me anyway. Fishing from 20 to 45 ft in a lot of different spots. Mostly catching bass & a few cats. Minnow & lindy rigs. Some cranking w/ leadcore.

Nothing cranking?

12 hours total fishing over two days. the 2 walleye caught were on leadcore in 30 ft.

Last time I was up there, about 2 weeks ago, we caught a few in 30-40 right away in the morning. In the afternoon they slid out and were much deeper. The majority were 50+, up to 70.

I brought mine home to do the same. However, I would like to get out another time or two before the weather gets too bad. I've been wanting to try Reule for a while so I out there yesterday. Everyone on the sign that is involved in that boat ramp should be ashamed of themselves. I wasn't even going to attempt to use that "boat ramp"

wait till the water temps go below 50 --- boom then is when you wish you had the boat out.

Nope
Decided to try it this spring with a 5 amp and see if it pops it, then fiddle with it.

I am smart like that, put off today what I can do next spring.

Any word on water temps? Trying to figure out when to head up for one last trip. Thinking a month or so.

Sounds like fish are participating from better depths. Planning a trip the next weather and no work window I get. Where is the best spot for bait in the New Town area?

Cenex station.

Cenex station.

I'm not sure the Cenex in New town has bait anymore. The Van Hook travel center east of New town usually has bait otherwise the United quality gas station/lumberyard/grocery store/dairy queen north of town carries it (though they are hit or miss with minnows sometimes)

Did well this weekend in beautiful weather. 25-35 feet on jigs. Looks like the weather change may end the fall fishing.

 

[dukgnfsn]

Traxion just curious if you remember what the water temp was while you were there.

 

[Weekender]

It was 56-57 by deep water on Saturday.
