Leech Lake, Longville, Deer River, Grand Rapids Area Fishing Report- Wheezy Outd

[Wheezy Outdoors]

The sweltering heat, high humidity values, and intermittent thunderstorms have certainly provided some challenges for anglers but even as we enter the dogdays of summer the fish are still on the chow!
As we all know there is never any shortage of action when one sets out to target Bass. Smallmouth Bass can be found along the deep weed lines, rocks, and sunken humps. Try using a Drop-Shot Rig tipped with a Leech. Largemouth on the other hand can be found working the weeds inside and outside the lines using Tubes, Spinner Baits, and Carolina Rigs. In the early morning, try working docks, shoreline structure and swimming platforms next to sharp drop-offs.
Of course, usually by this time of year we have shifted our focus to chasing Large Slab Crappies. The weed beds are holding large numbers of both Crappies and Sunfish. Pay especially close attention to the cabbage along deeper drop-offs. Slip-Bobbers using live bait or plastics, Small Swim Baits, Spinners, Beetle Spins are all working well, these buggers have been hungry!!
The Walleye bite is also one that has yet to relinquish to the torrid, humid conditions. A lot of techniques have still been producing good numbers of fish. Anything from pulling Spinners in the weeds, Lindy Rigs, Slip-Bobbers, jigs tipped with Leeches, Crawlers or Chubs… Cranks, Shiver Minnows and the list goes on!! It really is Dealer’s Choice it seems, trolling Cranks on the mid-lake flats has been best toward the evening hours until after dark, Spinners have been enticing them during the mid-day, as well as jigging raps for the walleye found out over the deep structure.
-Cheers!

How has the topwater bite been?

How has the topwater bite been?

Always one of our favorites and we'll argue one of the most exciting methods! Contrary to popular belief, as it is a more common technique spring-early summer or even in the fall time, it still has been extremely productive! As we are also avid fly fisherman we are fond of poppers or mice patterns. But you can have much luck using a variety of top-water baits, like buzzbaits, grasshoppers or frogs, skimming on top of the lily pads and out from the pencil reeds! Early Dawn and Dusk hours have been best, while the sun is not high. Find the active fish, and then it's game-time!
