Fishing Report

February 28, 2010

Well, we're at another close of walleye, northern fishing. Where has the time gone! This winter fishing was mostly hit and miss on all area lakes. You had to be mobile and pick through what you got.

Now with some warmer and longer days, the perch bite has picked up. Hopefully we'll still have a couple weeks of good fishing still left for this season. Weather was great this weekend and guys coming into the store have been picking up fish.

Hope you will get a chance to get out and do some ice fishing yet before the winter season comes to a final end. Take care.

Hope to see you out on the ice.

Fishing Report

Well the big Fishing Challenge tournament was a success out on Cass Lake. Mike Isaacson was the big winner of $2,000 cash for his 1 lb walleye. There were about 600 people out for the tournament. It was really a great day and lots of fun had by all. The Chamber gave out over $10,000 in cash and prizes. Next year should be even bigger and better.

With the wind we had the last couple of days, I have been busy plowing the major roads out on Pike Bay, Allen's Bay and Big Wolf, where I have my fish house rentals. Getting around is good and we have plenty of ice.

They are picking up some nice walleye mornings and evenings, just before dark. Perch are there too. Pick through for those bigger ones. Weather has been great. I was out on Pike Bay today and there were guys sitting out on their buckets, enjoying the nice sunshine.

Hope to see you out on the lake!

Fishing Report

February 9. 2010

Fishing has continued to be about the same for the last couple of weeks. They are still getting walleye just before dark and picking through on the perch. I talked to Four Seasons Resort on Winnie yesterday and they said about the same thing. They are getting some walleye at the mouth of the river. Fishing is okay, but not as good as we would like to see it. Hopefully that is yet to come!

Don't forget the big Winter Challenge Fishing Contest out on Cass Lake this coming weekend, the 13th of February. Tickets can be purchased at Froggy's for $30.00 and they will be $35.00 out on the ice the day of the contest. They have $10,000 worth of cash prizes this year and at least 50 prizes worth at least $100.00 each; lots of augers, vexlars, fish houses and much more. This year again, they will be drawing to decide what place each prize goes in, at the Legion in Cass Lake on Friday night. The fire department will also be having their fish fry that evening. The Chamber will also have a couple of raffles going too. It will be a good time for all. Hope to see you there.

We will be plowing off the area the next couple of days. We will be going out from Sailstar Marina and also the Information Center. There will be guys shuttling out people with their gear and portables.

Prizes will be announced out on the lake, after the contest ends. The Palace Casino will also be giving out some prizes after the end of the contest. Contest goes from noon to 3PM. You will be able to get out on the lake after 10AM to get set up.

See you out on the lake!

Fishing Report

February 1, 2010

Fishing has picked up the last few days. I am hoping the trend will continue. Northern seem to be moving more on Big Wolf. There are some perch being caught out on Pike Bay and some walleye, with a morning and evening bite in about 15 to 25 feet of water, on Cass and Pike Bay. They are fishing perch in about 9 feet of water.

The big Fishing Challenge tournament will be out on Cass Lake on February 13th. Don't forget to get your tickets and mark your calendar for that day. It is always a good time and lots of good prizes.

My son, Ben went out Sunday afternoon and picked up his first walleye and some really nice perch out on Pike Bay. Thumbs up to you, Ben!

Weather has been decent, so I hope you will get a chance to get out on the ice and enjoy some time fishing.

See you out on the lake!
