South Shore Report

[meadowcreek]

The walleye and pike are still very active. I'm hearing reports of crappies being caught. They seem to have started in the east, and the bite is slowly moving west. I have not found them yet. I went out 3.5 miles today. That is past the end of any roads out on the lake. I couldn't even see any fish houses out there. The action was fast and furious until dark. I could not keep up jigging and a tip up at the same time. I know that I missed a lot of opportunities to catch fish. I even had one walleye snap my tip up line, and I ended up catching him on the jig pole twenty feet away. He was 20 inches, and has a treble hook still in his belly. Watch out for him. Most of the fish were in the slot. I threw my first legal fish back thinking that if it is going this good, there has to be more. Not the case. I only had one more 16 incher come up the hole. The rest were between 14.5 and 22 inches. I was in 14.5 feet of water. The flasher looked like a Christmas tree after dark, but I couldn't get anything to commit.

JR has a twenty foot bridge now. The crack is still moving. We have at least 19 inches of ice. I took the Blazer out with the four wheeler trailer in tow. Ice cleats are very strongly suggested. One guy fell and hit his head last night. KO for at least 10.

  Thanks Greg for the report, good report.  I have read your reports on your site also.  Do you go out of JR's all the time.  Nice to see you on here...

I send all of my customers out of JR's, so I really want to know that side of the lake really well.  I migrate up and down the shore a little.  I Like JR's because there is little or no pressure to the west of his access.  You have 2 miles of shore with maybe 5-6 houses after you clear the little village Colby has set up to the west of his road.  On Red you get the best bite when you spread out and take the chance and break away from the Pod  .  It sounds like the Crappie are biting about 6.5 miles off the east shore,  Thats also only 6 miles off of JR's, and I don't have to drive the extra 25 minuets to Waskish.
