Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend. Saturday was a little cool in the morning and nice in the afternoon. Saturday was a tough day to fish after a front, but we still caught some fish. We caught five eater walleye and a few small ones and four 18-24" fish. Not bad but we fished steady for five hours.

Sunday things got better with warm steady weather. Sunday was an absolutely perfect day with lots of sun and temp. in the mid 7 0's. We had family company who we took to Black Bay for a cook-out and crappie/bluegill fishing. The fishing was good. The bluegill bite was very good in places. Crappie are starting to disperse a bit but we still caught several nice ones and some small ones, mostly close to shore. Resort guests caught some good walleye out in front the resort. Bill caught and released a 26" in the evening just off the docks.

Spring Fishing

We do not recommend swimming in early May, but these girls said its not too bad!?

Fishing is off to a good start. We had a number of nice walleye in the 24-26 inch range for the opening weekend. We also had a number of nice "eaters" and a 42" northern.

Fishing was tough with wind and snow but the guys who spent time on the water produced.




Second week has produced more eaters and less large walleye.

The crappie are just turning on as the water temps rise. Will has done very well with some large ones (pictured) on a few separate outings. These are not the same fish. We also had a group come in yesterday with a very nice catch of crappie.

We have only caught a few bluegill. The water temp. needs to come up a bit before they get active.
