Late Summer fishing on LOW

[lakeofthewoodsmn]

Some breeze this past week has been the perfect partner for fishing!  Trophies coming in big numbers along with the eaters  Drifting with spinners and crawler harnesses or frozen shiners has been hot, in addition to trolling crank baits.  Blue/chrome, pink or black for cranks working well.  Try hammered gold spinners in 30-35 feet of water over humps and structure. Most fishing over deep mud.  Jigging with a frozen shiner 29-33 feet just off the Canadian Border but between the snowmobile trail North of Pine working well.

On the Rainy River, sturgeon still going strong out in front of Frontier Landing.  Shady deep waters as the evening hours approach is just right to catch that dinosaur.  Smallmouth bass and walleyes going well when targeted.

Up on the NW Angle, fish are on the move back to structure. Crappies and Perch are biting just off the drop-offs of reefs, walleye staying deeper on edges. Try Oak, Lunatic, 4 Blocks, and Little Oak Islands. Muskies are active.  Best bite still best in the evening over weed and rock beds.  For more info on fishing, lodging and charters, www.LakeoftheWoodsMN.com.
