Lake Waubay Fishing Reports

[rattleL]

It has been ok lot of nice eyes, but they all need to go back. Fun to catch tho

Is this Reetz lake within close proximity of Webster? We are not looking to keep many fish, maybe just a few to eat, otherwise everything will be catch and release.

[jpallen]

Reetz is just south of Webster a few miles on Hwy.25. All walleyes under 28" must be released. Their is some real pigs in there, great trophy lake.

We just picked up an additional 6-8 inches of snow in Central Minnesota. Wondering if this area picked up snow as well.

It did and it is still snowing in that area. I have had to blow snow for the last three days and I'm getting about ready to do it again.

[vexilareye]

Would it be safe to assume that puts driving trucks on the lake out of the question?

[cold one sd]

The thing that I have heard is to have a good 4x4 and a couple of shovels or two 4x4s so one can pull the other one out if one gets stuck. I have also heard that if you lose momentum while driving or get off of a trail, you will get stuck pretty easily. I haven't been out there this winter and probably won't go for this reason. I'm getting to the point where there may be a bunch of ice fishing stuff for sale fairly soon.

Thats what I was worried about. I guess the sleds and atv with tracks will be coming with this year. Haha well I can understand that, especially with the amounts of snow we have received the last few years. If you are looking for someone to buy your gear let me know

[verg]

fishing is ok most places. I don't think there is a "hot" bite anywhere but you can probably find a few where ever you go but...snow is real bad. If you have the atvs with tracks or sleds-bring them. You will not be going too far with pickups. A guy I know was on bitter in a pack of 4 vehicles. Figured they got stuck twenty times. Too much snow and blown over areas.

Good luck

Heading out early Friday morning. Looking for any last reports or recommendations on fishing this weekend. Thanks.

[verg]

not too much to report..over weekend and Monday had a few more inches of snow and 30 mph wind. Very few tried to get out. I know one that tried and got stuck for over an hour. Going to be real hard getting around unless you have sleds. So, don't think there is a real accurate report as most probably gave it up till thaw.

[vexilareye]

Thanks for all the reports. Weather is looking pretty good for the weekend. I will post a report when I get back. Thanks again.

[SHANTY]

anyone fish waubay or bitter lately? are the walleyes post spawn yet? I have not fished these lakes for a couple of years and would love to make a trip up.

[rattleL]

fished waubay last weekend spawn is well over with. lots of males to be had at the moment just have to find them, bigger females are in kind of a funk, they will all turn on the bite hard here in a few weeks.

[rattleL]

ill be spending 10 days their in june one two long weekends. will be thier the 8-13th and then again the 16th-20th. Same trips everyyear for a reason.

[Avid Angler]

I hear the lake has been good this spring so far.

I am heading out that way for three days starting tomorrow.

What depths have the eyes been concentrated in and can anyone give me a direction of where to go on that lake. I have only fished it once in the summer.

If you don't want to say anything on this forum, you can email me at [email protected] or call me 320-510-3208.

Thanks!

Went up for the day Saturday with my 2 boys (10, 6) and another adult. Kept 11 fish (only had licenses for 3-person limit). Probably caught 25-30 walleyes.

Our best luck was on the break between South Waubay and North Waubay Lake. Lot of boat pressure on Saturday. Kanangos lot was full and many trailers parked on the gravel road.

[sdpikehntr]

Find some structure on the south end of the lake, form Kanagos landing look to the east southeast and find the point accross the water just south of the point in Breske bay there is a dug out that is underwaterabout 50 75 yrd from shore, and the north shore of Kanagos bay going east you will find an old road bed just before leaving the bay. Try those they usually produce a few quick fish when heading out or getting back in.

Othre than that they seem to be rather active. good Luck

Fished Waubay one day last weekend and it was tough. We heard sporadic reports from there all weekend. We ended up fishing some smaller lakes and did very well.

Good luck out there!

Fished Waubay Sunday morning. 4 of us in the boat, we pitched jigs w/ minnows for over an hour and caught nothing. Switched to bottom bouncers and spinners and sped up the boat and caught 13 walleyes in the next hour and a half. All were in 11 to 17 feet, with the deeper being better. Kept 10 between 14inches and 16inches for a fish fry.

[rattleL]

nice work curtistodd i know guys are doing well in 10 feet of water or less as well trolling cranks. Some fish are out deeper feeding on bugs and small worms while i think others are up shallow feeding on young of the year fry.

[sdpikehntr]

Don't get hung up on just Waubay, There are a few other lake around that are hitting bigger fish than waubay and just as fast if not faster. Try removing the blade from the bottom bouncer set up, and even hook color changes.

[rattleL]

sdpikehntr red was good for me hook color that is

[curtistodd]

Thanks for the advice guys. Definately not hung up on Waubay, im hung up on Lynn! I dont care to do 6 and 7 mile runs by boat! I just go with my girlfriends family and always vote Lynn, but yes, there are many, many good lakes out there. Its fun to fish them all.

[eyesrit]

Hey is anybody out there. Is there any fishing reports in the area? Thinking about driving to your area this weekend.
