Fishing Report

July 29, 2009

Most of the fishing action is currently on the north end of Cass Lake, with the best luck between 9:30PM and 12:30AM, trolling raps along the gravel bars.

I really recomment locating the fish on a graph first. The walleyes are constantly moving, not staying in one spot for more than two hours. Using leeches or crawlers in six to twelve feet will produce the best results.

Lake Winnie has been seeing an increase in perch and walleye activity and the muskie bite is starting. Northern are being caught using a sucker minnow and a bobber on the edge of a good weed line. For best results fish in nine feet of water about six and a half feet down.

Creek chubs and leeches have been working best on Pike Bay. Crawlers are also producing some bites. Perch are being caught on the east public landng along the edge of the weed lines.

Hope to see you out on the water!

Good fishing!

Cass Lake has been producing a good bite since the warm weather moved in and the mayfly hatch is over. Best results are when using a lindy rig in eight to ten feet of water tipped with a night crawler or leech. The evening bite has been strong, trolling slowly in eight to twelve feet of water, using a shallow running shad rap on the break lines.

Northern action is also improving using a sucker minnow and bobber. Sunfish have also been caught on Cass Lake using a chunk of night crawler or wax worms or small leeches. Sunfish and northen are also doing well on Lake Andrusia and many small area lakes are starting to produce some bass.

Anglers have been doing well on Pike Bay, catching walleyes in eight to twelve feet of water using leeches on a blue and white or chartreuse jig.

Hope to see you out on the water.

Good fishing!

Fishing on Cass Lake has been getting better since the water is warming up. Temp is about 64 degrees. Walleyes are biting on the north end in about 25 to 30 feet of water during the day. Shiners are still the main bait of choice, but the leeches and night crawlers are going strong also. The late evening bite on rapalas started about a week ago. There has been some nice walleye caught at night trolling on North Cedar Bar and the Narrows. There has also been a few muskies caught, but more follows then strikes. With the water temps warming up, that will change in a hurry. Northern pike have been more aggresive and many families are having a good time with a minnow and a bobber. Crappie fishing has slowed down.

On Lake Andrusia walleye have been biting in l8 feet of water. Shiners or fathead on a jig works well on this lake. Work the break lines and drop offs. There is also a nice hump to work between the two rivers that produce wallye all summer long. This is a nice little lake to fish. It not only holds a good number of walleye, but it is also known for it's northern pike. Take a sucker minnow and sit on the outside of the weed line or the edge of the cabbage.

Walleye fishing on Pike Bay has been good also. Fish are being caught on the center bar or working the edge of the cabbage line in 15 to 20 feet of water. Perch are being caught in 6 to 12 feet of water with a jig and a fathead minnow.

Remember to stay safe and have fun fishing. Please practice catch and release for the future.

Hope to see you on the water!

Good fishing!

Fishing is tremendous on Leech Lake right now. Leech is a great lake to head out on right now and it is providing a tremendour walleye bite. Remember that Leech does have a slot limit of 17-27 inches.

Cass Lake is also producing walleyes, especially on the north end. The bite is most productive in 12 feet of water using a jig and a shiner/fathead or leeches.

Ravens Point on Winnie has been phenomenal. The bite has been strong mainly in 12-14 feet of water.

Andrusia and Pike Bay have both been doing well and most area bays have been producing a steady crappie bite.

A consistent weather pattern will help bring about a stronger bite.

Hope to see you out on the water.

Good fishing!

Sorry it has taken so long to get a fishing report up and going. We are in the process of changing computers at Froggys and us "Red Necks" don't know too much about computers, so I hope you will all hang in there with us.

Fishing is picking up on Cass Lake, Big Wolf and Andrusia. Jig and a minnow seems to be working in about 20 feet on the north shore of Cass and also Pike Bay. Leeches and crawlers are just starting to go out the door. Water temperature is about 58 degrees. Hope it will start warming up soon. Seems like were all anxious for some warm weather!

Leech Lake has been doing awsome. There was a tournament last weekend and another one again this weekend.

Everyone seems to be glad to put on their snuggies and get out on the water, even though temps aren't the warmest, yet. Don't forget your bug spray!

See you on the water!

Good fishing,

Many fishermen were anxious to get their lines wet and their boats moving last Saturday for the 2009 fishing opener.

Most anglers did really well. The majority of the anglers found success in working the mouths of the rivers using a jig and shiner presentation. Ssome anglers saw success using a fathead and a jig on Lake Andrusia.

The weather was cool and damp with a high temp near 50 degrees and little wind. As far as openers go, it was a typical one weather wise. As long as you dressed for the elements it was a fun time and the fishing will only get better in the next few weeks.

Good fishing!
