fishing reports Lake Superior-Douglas County Fishing Reports

[Steve Foss]

Back when I lived in Souptown, I hit up Minnesuing quite a few times. There is a night ice bite. It is not consistent and it is VERY shallow. So shallow your chest wouldn't get wet if the ice gave way and you could stay standing on the bottom.

Same deal on Amnicon.

Interesting....

Fished ULSC on Friday caught some perch, and some pike (fun catching pike on jig sticks...

Fished Nebaggie on Saturday, caught a couple little perch, and 2 small pike again.

Fished the harbor on Sunday, and marked lots of fish, but only caught ruffe.

Pretty slow weeknd of fishing! Looking forward to next weekend already

Fished ULSC Friday night with limited success, only picking off a few..

Ssaturday hit another local lake (I won't say exactly whcih one, because some dude already opened his yapper and told the world. This particular spot I fshed last year and hardly ever had company, this year...it was a zoo out there on Saturday (tickd me off), o well now ill have to find a new honey hole. At least I am pretty sure I out fished the other 15 people out there.

Sunday-went back and caught a few more----

Looking forward to another great weekend of fishing next weekend....

I feel your pain. I have been fishing a spot on ******y for years, and never had much company. . I would sneak over and pull a few Crappies when nobody was close. I recognized a truck on the spot last Tuesday. I went over and asked how he was doing. He said he had 22 Crappies in an hour. I asked him how he found the spot. He said a friend ( ****y) told him they were biting there. By Friday there were 6 shacks on the spot. Saturday and Sunday there were a lot more. Monday there were 9 vehicles . Yesterday there was only 1 shack, so the slaughter must be over. That sweet spot is done.

[Jarrid Houston]

SUCKS ROYALLY!! G'd Luck. We must now venture and find new spots.....

[outdoor ran]

Thats why I stopped giving reports on internet. Pretty tough to keep a honey hole to yourself these days.

Jarrid, are the inland local lakes still in good shape to drive on? Hoping to get out panfishin.

[Jarrid Houston]

Inland lakes are the best I have seem them in a long time...Can travel just about anywhere...Its the access areas that may be tricky, but your trail blazer should not have any problems. Give me a call if you want some company pan fishin, we could bring my clam (2 seater)...later buddy...

[Jarrid Houston]

Well tried the Luck out on some new (to me) bodies of water. Traveled down past the Minong Flowage and played Person, Crystal, and Bond, as well as some other favorites. Could not find a consistant bite anywhere, but did put a solid effort and tried. Weather did no favors. High-lite of the weekend: About a 30 somthing inch pike biting on my transducer in 30' FOW. Never seen that happen before, but did manage to hook him and play a little but it got off...Looking forward to next weekend.!.!

[outdoor ran]

I didn't make it out. Finally got a hockey free weekend and was to sick to get out. Hopefully this weekend for some pannies and then I'm putting the ice gear away.

Jar Jar, I think theres some cohos calling our names. Won't be long, Trolling!

[JAR JAR]

[JAR JAR]

Crappies are biting on Namakagon. Lots of Crappies and very nice size. Lake is getting lots of pressure, but Crappies seem to be in 20 -25 ft. all over the Lake. I am giving Nebagamon a break. I know a few people who are still pounding that same spot near Boy Scout. Fishing has been spotty there, but they dont look for new spots. I am thinking that spot is about done.

[JAR JAR]

Lots of trucks headed to honeymoon pt on Sunday on nebagemon , I,m finding them in 35- 40 fow there.

Just an FYI , a certain bar on the south end of a certain lake near the lake I was just talking about, is having another contest on that certain lake again this weekend.

Saturday to be exact.

Just emailed the dnr guys again!!!! They dont seem to move fast on this issue... It would help if some more people started on them too!

Scott Toshner is the gentlemen you would want to discuss your concerns to.

[outdoor ran]

I think I'm done ice fishing. Going to put the gear away. Going to take the boys shed hunting and looper fishing instead this weekend if the weathers good.

[Jarrid Houston]

Good luck Ran Man, I heard they are doing good at the mouth of the French for Kamloops. Still have not tried that kind of fishing but really want to give it a try sometime...

[Jarrid Houston]

Fished down in Polk County on Balsam lake on Saturday, caught some nice blue gillz for a good meal to be cooked later.

Sunday-Did Nebaggie the first part of the day. Miserable conditions, and only caught 1 crappie. Moved to Minnie later in the afternoon, and again only caught one crappie. although I marcked fish, I could not get them to bite...Im guessing the weather had a lot to do with it. As far as driving goes..SLUSHY-Nabaggie was okay but the access was getting beat up pretty hard. Minnie was real bad with numerous slush pockets that could easily get a vehicle stuck...Thats it for driving for me this year.

[cabin]

Fished Nebaggy yesterday from 1:30- 6:00. Caught 13 Crappies and 1 big Gill. Fished in 33 ft. of water to the East of Honeymoon Point.Crappies were coming through at 25-28 ft. Fished the same spot from 8:00-11:30 today and caught 1 small Crappie. Crappies caught yesterday on white/pink Marmooska with Glow Nuggie plastic.

[Jarrid Houston]

Finally a great weekend of catching.....

Fished down by Gordon Wascott area (?) Had a rough time getting fish to bite, but marked em all day. Then at about 6:30 explosion of business. Caught countless fish for about an hour (crappies). Let em all go! It was fun though....

Did nebaggie Sunday, and again had a tough time getting them to bite. when we got out there it was just 2 guys and my friend Austin and I. Then around 1 or so the calvary came out. We picked up and decided to explore, and boy I am glad we did. We found a nice area where fish were consistantly being graphed. Stillgraphed more then we could catch, but at about 5 or so, they decided to turn on again. Some real nice ones too....

Cant wait until next weekend again.....but Ill probably try and get out after work once or twice....

[Jarrid Houston]

forgot to mention that i caught pike this weekend in 37 fow. "crazy" I think it was a female getting her fill of crappis before her spawn coming up...

[Jarrid Houston]

Saturday-Went out to a lake by iron-river and straight up pounded fish. They were jumping out of the hole. I caught crappies on plain hooks they were so hungry. Also caught some big bull blue gillz to boot. By far the best day of ice fishing for this guy all season..Finally caught a limit. It was so nice getting to a nice body of water and having the lake all to ourselvs. . . I wonder how many people hit nebaggie? Cant wait til next weekend, might try the Brule for the first time this year.! Might be done with the ice fishin stuff.......nah never mind. Still lots of nice ice, but caution should be taken!

[Jarrid Houston]

Well first weekend of no fishing for this guy. Was super busy with other stuff going on. Word is, ice is deteriating at a fast rate, and ice out should be just around the corner. Brule is heating up, but there is a lot of traffic down there. Plan on getting the ice gear cleaned and stored away. You should see the slime on my jacket/shack/gear. Slower ice fishing season than last year, but ended on a high note...

Plan on getting the boat cleaned up and running this week or next. Bring on the lakes!!!!

[Jarrid Houston]

2nd Weekend without fishing-Think I am going through withdrawels. At least the lady at home is happy that I am spending some time with her. We had a suprise birthday party for her at Rapids on Friday. It was very fun...Well time to get the boat ready, and re-string, and re-organize the tackle box. Should be on the open water sometime this week, although the weather looks bad. Looking forward to it though!!!
