Sept. 1 Jean and myself went out and did a little jigging , a little spinner pulling , and down rigged to catch the last walleye . Lately you have to go when you can due to the strong winds . But die hard fisher people have gone everyday this last week . We fished 3 hours and limited out . Also got to watch a boat next to us catch and release another 30" walleye . The walleyes are starting to show up in the river as well as along Pine Island . FALL IS GETTING NEARER
August 25 After 3 days of very windy weather things are getting back to normal . The walleyes are still out about 6 miles . The reef fishing has been hot as well as the down rigging . There seems to be a lot of slot fish coming in . And jig fishing has still been producing good catches . The sturgeon are starting to run in the river again . And being caught out in the lake by walleye anglers .
August 19 Nice weather and good fishing . We are starting to see walleyes coming back to shallow water . But for the best fishing the last couple day the reefs are the place to go . Also rigging out between Long Point and Garden Island in 35' has been hot. BUT you can still catch plenty of fish [big ones included ] out 6 miles in 32' jigging or pulling spinners .
August 11 HOT and humid is what we have right now . But the fish don't seem to mind . The trips I have had have been very good ones with lots of quality walleyes . Along with guest fishing on there own catching limits of nice fish is not a problem . This week saw me hit the magical 50 yrs. of age. Doesn't seem any different to me. Just getting ready for the early goose season and bear hunting . Where does summer go ?
August 7 The walleye action has not changed . With limits coming in from 7-10 miles out . This week spinners seemed the best . Pulled behind 1.5-2 oz. weights and tipped with leeches or night crawler . The reefs up north are producing as well. Down riggers are also bringing in a lot of fish . Look for the fish to return to the shallows in the next few weeks as the shiners return to Pine Island area .
JULY 31 The fishing continues to be very good . The only draw back is they left the shallow water for deeper . Walleyes can be found from 28'- 35' with 33' to 35' being the most productive . Norther pike are still active in the bay and creek as well as the river .
