Weather Patterns

The crazy weather???? Seems we can not get anything going for more than two days in a row with the weather. Sunny one day and within a day, rain and wind.
The "bright" side of it all is that the fishing has been good right through these weather patterns!!!!
Many reports of the fishing being the best ever. Walleyes, northerns, bass, trout, muskies and even crappies
seem to be on the bite.
If you need any info., just e-mail or call.

All Is Good In The Fishing World

Best fish of the season so far is Sara Minerich's 32" walleye!!!!!! The Minerich's stopped by our store yesterday on their way to their cabin to pick up a few minnows. Jim, Sara's husband took Sara to his
"secret hotspot" this a.m. and WOW, a 32" walleye. Jim, the professional he is had forgot to bring the landing net. So, with the skilled hands of a surgeon he hand bombed the lunker into the boat for a few quik pics before the monster was released back into the depths. Jim and Sara, what a team.
The best musky I have been told about (and seen a picture of) was a 60-1/2" caught on Crow (kakagi) lake.
She was a beast to say the least.
44" is the best northern so far and how about an 18-1/4" crappie!!!
I am still getting good reports of lots of jumbo perch too.

WHAT, MORE UNSETTLED WEATHER MOVING IN

Well, it was good while it lasted. We did have three days of good weather, but it sounds like it is going to get a little unstable for  the next few days.
The fishing has been very good right from the walleye opener. I really do not expect that to change either.
Lots of very good catches of walleye, northerns and bass.
The walleyes are still in some of the channels, but have started to move to the reefs. Jigs tipped with minnows is the "guides choice".
The northerns are anywhere you can find weeds. X-Raps, Mepps and Reed Runner spinnerbaits seem to be best.
The Smallies have moved to the banks in most of the lakes and any finessee tactic will work.
The crappies have been hit-and-miss.

The Future Looks Bright

Our weather has been very windy and wet, but the long range forecast looks much better.
Even with the crappy weather, the fishing has been good for most. I am still hearing of lots of walleye,
northern pike and good perch being caught. The trout are dropping off into the deeper waters, but are
still biting good.
The bass are trying to move up on the banks. I think the next few days in a row of nice weather will let them pull right in. Our crappie should get things done now too. The ones caught this week were 50/50.

We lost Mel Olson (of Mel's Marine) this week to a short battle with cancer. It is a big loss to his family, all who knew him and our community. His funeral will be on friday at the United Church at 1:00 p.m..
We will be closed during the service in respect for him.
