Yellow girl bay

[eyemaster]

Anybody been fishing in yellow Girl? Hows the bite? I am going to be there in about 3 weeks

I would also like to know, but more towards the cliff and bath island area. I will be up there in 2 weeks. Eyemaster, I will post up my results since you will be going up after me. I have a few spots up my sleeve that have been good in the past that are more towards cliff island and the surrounding area.

I'm going to try and get there Sunday. Cliff Island in particular. I'll let you know how it goes. From all first hand reports I've been getting, not to my surpise, have been excellent.

[Redline]

Hemlock, thanks any reports would be great. My first go to spot is in the Deadbroke area right off of Cliff.....you probably know what I'm talking about. If you hit that spot, let me know. I don't wanna steal any of your spots, but if you don't want info out in the public you can email me at [email protected].

where is Cliff Island from Yellow Girl?

[Redline]

Cliff Island is the huge island on the bottom of this map. It is west of Yellow Girl.

[eyemaster]

Great, thanks for the information. I have a hot spots map, but there are 4 maps for this area, and it is the one that I have misplaced.

[Redline]

Hemlock, did you get out to Cliff?

[Hemlock]

No, got about half way out...beat ourselves up just getting the 14 miles south of Kenora on Saturday morning. Wind was hard out of the NE. Where we did fish was some humps and saddles off or between islands. The fish were most concentrated on these spots, from what we tried. In 3 hours fishing, two of us boated 25 and kept 4. Other guy wasn't hungry, all fish were 14-19 inchers.

Sorry I lied about where I was going, but I was just happy to get out, feel that bite, and set it!

[eyemaster]

how deep did you find them? What were you using? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

[Hemlock]

Jig and a minnow, and color didn't matter, as usual.

We found our best depth to be 27' but they were as deep as 35 and found a couple in 19'.

Tried bottom bouncing and a spinner when things slowed down for a bit and that only produced one fish.

Walleyes were spitting up small leaches as we brought them in. Didn't have leeches, but minnows worked fine.

[eyemaster]

what kind of minnows? fatheads? Shinrs? What about crawlers this time of year?

[Hemlock]

Shiners, and I'm guessing crawlers would get some fish, but not as effective as crawlers a few weeks ago.
