Lac Seul in May?

[Jim W]

Hitting NE Lac Seul last week in May...anyone ever venture there this time of year? Anyword on ice conditions?

How about favorite plastics and colors for the great Lac Seul walldog?

Thanks for any talk at all!

Hey Jim, we go a week after you... and our best luck has been using green or chartruese jig heads and our magic potion has been Red Shad Saltwater Gulp..... Don't ask why, it just works.

Good luck and let us know how you did!

Jim- We head up to Lac Seul the same time of year and have been for nearly 10 years now. The walleye fishing is great but the northerns can be a bit slow compared to later in June and July.

[Jim W]

Thanks guys. I'll have to grab some gulp and give it a go.

Find any pattern to the walleye that seems consistent year to year?

Are they typically still shallow?

Can't wait, been working too much!

Still shallow. Anywhere from 4 ft to 12 is usually best.

[Jim W]

Anyone else recommend any hot plastics of choice (and colour) for Lac Seul. Really don't want to haul a ton of bait this time!

Thanks again

Gulp worked awesome for me last year. I used several colors and paired it to match my jig. I used pink, chart. yellow, and orange. Orange worked really well for me. My dad also did well with white. I used the gulp in combo with salted shinners. But also did well with it by itself. I was up there in late July though and will be there at the same time this year.

Heading up on the 26th. Any last minute reports or ideas applicable for early season on Lac Seul?

Thanks

Keep the rods bendin'!!

I've run the Lindy Thumpers the last 2 trips to Lake Alone, with great success, they have much better action than the Berkly gulp product. but they aint cheap...

Good Luck

[Jim W]

Thanks! Hmmmm...if I get some time I'll pick some up.

Jim- A couple items you can't go with out. 3 inch white Mr. Twister tails, plenty of Orange and Pink jigs and Walleye or Silver colored spoons for the northerns!

I am also heading up the end of the week! Can't wait. Let us know how you did when you return and I will do the same.

Thanks for all the ideas guys. Heading up June 13 and will report back.

Stay safe!

Jim W. Your probably already there. We just got back on Monday and the fishing was fabulous. Went up by Bear narrows for 3 days. Weather was cool and rainy but the fish didn't mind. White and Chartruse jigs worked the best for us. Water is really down so watch for rocks. Good luck hope you post when you get back.

Yes water IS waaay down.

Our first day the fishing was incredible then a major T-storm blew through and winds blew from the East the rest of our time. We still caught, but not like the first day.

My magic was the pink jig tipped with pink gulp. Seemed the larger fish liked it over minnows. However, the salted minnow shined more often than not.
