September Morson Reports

[Wild Thing]

Back on track with bigger fish.

Nice but quick trip for the weekend. Only fished Saturday, for a couple hours, and got a FAT 26" on crawler and spinner near a current area. Several keepers, too. I was too cheap to buy minnows so used up the summer crawlers! My sister visiting from Oregon got a 19.5, her first walleye ever on her first trip to LOTW! A lot of boats out Saturday in gorgeous weather. We went for a nice long boat ride to end summer. They were still fishing the reefs and catching some. Lots of wind Thursday before we got up and ample wind Friday, too rough to go far.

Did some duck scouting and got some stuff ready, back up Thursday night!

Made the trek Friday - Monday. Fished west Saturday around the Sunset channel area. Beautiful day. Fished points and humps and had some good luck. We used crawlers and jigs with good success. Biggest was 22" and lots of nice eaters. Around 15' was the depth we caught fish.

Sunday was near perfect Fall weather (but not even a breeze). Went up to the Elbow in Obabikon. Managed to find a few crappies. Lots of boats zipping around there already.

Do any of you go through the Obabikon channel on plane? Saw that for the first time - decent size boat too. I hug the rock on the west side of the channel and put-put through.

Monday, we fished traditional Fall spots with current and did ok. Some nice 18" fish and a couple really nice fish lost. Saw some nice flocks of Honkers on the east side of Burrows bay. Also some huge flocks of cormorants, too . . .

Back up in a few weeks.

Oops. (I'm not seeing an edit post option) Just realized I fished Sunday, not Saturday. Got goofed up because of the Monday holiday. Noted Shorelunch said Sunday was the perfect day up there, duh, Friday and Saturday were windy.

Heading up tomorrow, will report back if I fish any.

Up Thursday night to Sunday morning but never fished. Just hunted. Did very well. Tons of wind every day so I'm thinking fishing was tough, at least getting out. Lots of wind this year. Lots of rice, too!

Back up in 10 days.

Just got back from two weeks at our trailer. Did very well on walleyes East of Morson. Deep water (17-28')necked down current areas. Good fish between 17-18". 10 over 24". Bottom bouncers and spinners mostly. Minnows outfished crawlers. One 50" muskie on a jig. Two limits of crappies around the Bottleneck. Did OK on ducks, had hoped to do better. We did not see the usual amount of mallards and ringnecks. Lots of woodies and geese. Almost too much rice in places. Back in 10 days. Hope the divers are down.

We were up for last weekend and fished out North and East of Morson Friday and Saturday. Lots of wind was the game. Casted our arms off and only managed 1 muskie (46") and saw 2 others. No northerns casting at all. Spent about 2 hours jigging for walleyes, did pretty well, catching our 4 person limits of 14-22" fish along with one 25" pike and a 18" smallie.

We will be back up the second weekend in Oct. to ty our luck at some trolling for muskies. Hope for some better luck!
