Fishing Report

March 25, 2009

Well, we've had lots of rain and even snow today. Not too many guys going out on the lakes and those that are, seem to be going out with 4 wheelers. With all the rain we've had, you really have to watch where your at, just in case water has opened up a hole on the lake. There are some crappies and nice perch being caught, but again, be careful.

We had a nice meal of crappies the other night, thanks to Allen Bonk from Hackensack! They were caught on that "No Name Lake!". Those crappy fishermen are all pretty tight lipped. Thanks Allen!

Use caution out on the ice and Good Fishing!

Fishing Report

March 19, 2009

With the warm weather, the snow has really been melting and there has been lots of water on the ice. The last couple of days it's been cooler, but sounds like it will be warmer again on Saturday. There is still plenty of ice. Fishing should be good yet for a week or two. It all depends on Mother Nature!

With the warmer weather, guys have been hitting the smaller lakes looking for crappie. They are still picking up perch on Cass and Pike Bay. Hope you will get a chance to get out and give it a try. When it's warm enough you can stand out on the ice and fish, that's always a good time.

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

We got dumped on yesterday. Another good old Minnesota snow fall. I would say we have about 12 inches in the Cass Lake, Bemidji area. Everybody is busy today plowing and shoveling out. Sun is shining, so that does help some. I guess it is suppose to get cold tonight, but start warming up on Friday and be really nice for the weekend.

Perch have been biting good on Pike Bay and Cass Lake through the weekend. It has been quiet around the area the last couple of days, with the snow. Sounds like they have been getting some nice perch on Leech, around Shingobee Island and some crappie bite by Little Hardwoods.

See you on the lake!

Perch are biting in about 10 to 12 feet of water on Cass Lake and Pike Bay. Guys are working on the smaller lakes for panfish. This warmer weather has brought the fish up a little shallower.

See you on the lake.

Good fishing!

Sounds like warmer weather is on the way! Sun is shining today and sounds like temps will be in the 20's and 30's for the rest of the week. That should bring the perch and crappies into shallower water. Ice is good and you can drive anywhere on the area lakes.

Hope to see you out on the lake!

Good fishing,

Fishing Report

Well we got about 3 inches of snow today and now it sounds like it is going to be cold the next couple of days. Sounds like the southern part of the state really got dumped on.

We really need some warm weather and I think that would help stabilize the fishing. We get a warm day or two and then another cold spell. The bigger perch were coming up in about 10 feet of water, but now with the snow and cold again, things have been slow today.

Well, it can only get better, right? We have plenty of ice and seems like getting around on the lakes isn't a problem, so that's a good thing.

Hang in there, with some warmer weather, perch and crappy should both start to turn on.

See you out on the lake.

Good fishing!

Fishing Report

Cass Lake and Pike Bay are still producing some perch and walleye. You have to be mobile and pick through the perch and the walleye are biting light and seem to be hitting in a 45 minute slot just before dark. I'd work that 12 to 18 feet of water and see what it produces.

Eel pout is going on out on Leech Lake this weekend. It's fun just to drive through and check out all the different fish houses out on the lake. A good time is had by all!

Haven't heard too much on the crappie bite, but the crappie fishermen are pretty closed mouthed and I guess you can't blame them for that. It is suppose to warm up next week, so I would think that the perch and panfish bite should start to pick up.

Hope to see you out on the lake.
