Hemlock Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Amazing fishery. No live bait, can't target walleyes, not mapped. Be careful, but have a chance at trophy bass, pike and walleye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromMO Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 My wife and I fished Shoal the last two weeks of September from 2005-2009. We'd still be going except that Shoal Lake Lodge (the only one on the lake) decided they didn't want to stay open when we wanted to go. We only fished for pike, the lake is great for good numbers of nice sized fish. I'd definitely recommend a GPS with a Navionics chip, even though alot of the lake isn't depth-charted the Navionics map does show the major hazards (and some are out in the middle of nowhere). If the wind is up you'll be stuck in the Northern, more sheltered part of the lake unless you have quite a boat, and we always did our best fishing the rocky points and shorelines around the big, open southern part of the lake. For pike best lures for us were spoons in 5-of-diamonds, silver or gold, super shad raps, swim baits and deep husky jerks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemlock Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 There are other options for resorts very close to Shoal Lake. Ash Rapids Lodge is 10 minutes away, by boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
