Fishing Report

May 30, 2011

It was a great weekend for fishing! Cass has been doing awesome, along with Big Wolf, Andrusia, Leech and Winnie. Everyone has been getting the old walleye. Crappie are also doing well. That 7 to 9 feet of water, up along the weed beds seem to be working the best, with a jig and minnow.

Hope everyone had a great Memorial weekend. I am off to Bismarck, ND for a couple of weeks, so the rest of the family will be manning the store. After this job is done, we will be working in the Albany area, so that won't be too bad a drive on the weekends.

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

May 23, 2011

Sounds like the walleye have slowed down some today. We had rain last night, so it might take a day or two for them to settle in for their feeding habits again. A jig and a minnow still seem to be the bait of choice, although there are some crawlers and leeches being used. I am hearing of some crappie biting also. All in all there are really no complaints about the fishing for the last week. Sounds like the weather will be nice for the next few days.

We wish you all a safe and happy Memorial weekend. Stop in and say hi when your in our area.

See you on the water.

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

May 18, 2011

Walleye are biting. Cass, Wolf and Andrusia are still shallow, that 7 to 9 feet with a jig and a minnow. They have been getting walleye on Pike Bay also, but deeper. Between thaty 18 to 25 foot range.

Water is warming up and shiners are starting to come in to the traps. We have had a great week weather wise, sunny and warm.

See you out on the water.

Good Fishing!

Fishing Report

May 14, 2011

The opener started out wet and cold, but the sun did shine this afternoon. We are hearing reports of walleye in 7 to 9 feet of water, with a jig and a minnow. Sounds like Cass, Andrusia, as well as Big Wolf, produced some fish. Shiners were a premium this weekend because of the cool water temps and just were real slow to trap. For every 20 to 30 gallons we hoped to get, we ended up with 10. The rainbow minnow did seem to do well though, this weekend. I'm sure with the warm weather coming next week and the sunshine, we will be getting all kinds of shiner minnows. Would have been nice to have the opener a week later. I guess that's kind of the rule of thumb for opening weekend though.

Hope you had a safe and successful opening weekend!

See you out on the water. Good fishing!

Day before the big fishing opener

May 13, 2011

Sounds like the opener will be cloudy, cool and rainy. Water temps have gone down the last couple of days to about 43 degrees this morning. We are getting some shiners in, but very slowly. I am sure that with the warmer weather and sunshine that they are predicting for next week, we will have all kinds of shiners. You just can't fool with "Mother Nature". We do have rainbows and all kinds of fathead minnows. The store will be open all night tonight. We usually close for a couple of hours between 2AM and 5AM. Have a safe trip up north and a great opening weekend.

Someone stopped by the store yesterday and said they had heard on KSAX (not sure if it was radio or TV) that they were following our blog and were wondering where Froggy's Sports was. Hope you will check out our web page. We are located just south of Cass Lake on Highway 371. Our family run store has a little bit of everything. Bait, tackle, snacks, hot sauces, clothing and even some really awesome horseradish pickles. Stop by and check us out!

Have a great opener!

Hope to see you out on the water!

Good fishing.

Fishing Opener

May 9. , 2011

Fishing opener is just around the corner. We are busy getting tanks filled and putting inventory out on the shelves. We will be getting our minnows in on Thursday. Water temps are in the mid 50's. Question is, how are the shiners going to trap? We should know more by Thursday.

We will be open all night Friday night until 1AM Saturday morning and then reopen the store at 5AM. Just give us a call if you are running late Friday night and need us to stay open.

Sounds like the weather is suppose to improve and be sunny this weekend. We wish you all a safe and good opener.
