Who's heading to Yellow Lake??

[anchor man]

Just curious if anyone's heading to Yellow Lake this weekend. We've been going there for the last 6+ yrs with mixed results. We do a lot of anchoring and casting jig/minnows and slip bobbers. We usually try several depths and locations but usually have some luck in the 8-12ft range. I'd like to try even shallower this year. We spend time by the river (like most do) and a few other shorelines. Some years we do decent and some, not so good.

Anyone else having any patterns or ideas for some luck on Yellow?

Thanks

If you can find some of the cribs they can produce, I also like to troll the sandy shoreline from IKE south

How'd you do at yellow, anchorman? I heard yellow was ok for opener. I'll be up there in a week...can't wait! Looking for some eyes at night...maybe get some panfish. Have not fished the lake too much...caught a few walleyes casting raps at night a couple times. This cold, rainy weather can hit the bricks though! Good luck.

Yellow Report:

Went to Yellow Sunday afternoon with my 10 and 6 yr old. Consensus from talking with other anglers was the walleyes weren't biting.

We did get a few crappies and sunnies as well as northerns. Tried the usual walleye spots and methods -- no walleye hits just a couple of northerns.

Crappies were well scattered. Must still be too cold!

unclejake, I had a slow opener, only landed a couple perch and a few pike. Hope you have better luck when you're there..

Still slow at Yellow. My brothers and I managed only a few walleyes and a couple northern. Caught a few panfish. Need some warm weather to get things going I think. We caught the walleyes trolling in front of where the river runs out (NW corner)...on the weed line in between 8 to 15 fow (drops quickly)...on leeches.
