Four Seasons Fishing Report May 29, 2017

Walleye fishing this Memorial Day Weekend was hard to gauge. There were no "sure" spots where you could count on catching fish. The fish that were caught were relating to the shoreline drops. It seemed like the better spots were the ones where the dropoff was closest to shore. 
The fish were scattered along these edges. It was a matter of catching a few each day. If you were here multiple days, you could amass enough for a limit. Jigs and shiner minnows were the main bait, but we did see some fish going on fatheads.
Northern fishing was a much more reliable bite. Jigging with shiners and fatheads on these same structures was the ticket. We were catching half a dozen northerns to every walleye. They were a lot of fun to catch. The size was running pretty decent, with many in the keeper size range. Hire Bryce to debone these fish and they are quite tasty at this time of the year.
Perch fishing is really picking up. We found a decent school of fish in 13-15' of water on Saturday. They were there again on Sunday but moved to the deeper side of 15'. Some nice perch are being found on the 12-15' flats, as well.
We have a good "action" bite going on right now. We sold our last scoop of shiners this weekend. We will not be getting any more. We froze our floundering shiners in a salt-borax mix and have them available for sale. I have used nothing but dead shiners this whole year and have had good success. We will see in the coming weeks what is going to happen. As the bugs start hatching on the midlake structures, the fish will move out there and leeches and crawlers will be the bait of choice.
We have some openings coming up through the month of June. Check out our Cabin Availability and give us a call. 218-665-2231
