South shore report

[outdoor ran]

I was able to make it out on the big lake out of loons foot yesterday for half aday. Had a pretty decent day with 13 fish landed and lost 6 others. 12 salmon (kings and cohos) and one nice brown. Bright stick baits and spoons set high on dr. All the fish were spittin up smelt.

I talked to some guys who limited out on walleyes out on the big lake a couple of days earlier in the week. I didn't fish that spot. Maybe try it this weekend for the eyes.

Nice report Ran!! I wish the weekends would allow me to get out but it seems that the wind never cooperates

If you don't mind how deep were you? or how far out?

Quick report before I head to bed. South shore contines to be good when you can make it out there. Trolled for 3 hours this afternoon and went 6 for 8 with 4 salmon, a laker and a 24" walleye. The wind and rain has kinda of turned up the mud lines and temp breaks so the fish seem to be scattered out on the top. Good luck fishing this weekend.

What a difference a year makes. Last year was just a stuggle to find fish on the south shore. This year the surface temps are cool for this time of year and the fishing is on fire. Fished for five hours this morning and landed 16 fish. 1 steelhead, 1 whitefish, 4 salmon and the rest were lake trout. Still slammin top water baits. Hot colors for us have been purple and gold/orange. good luck.

What a morning eh Ran! Got out at 6:30am this morning, solo, daughter decided not to join me. I ended up catching up with a couple other boats I was to meet up with and worked a pattern with them outside the entry.

I myself in the Ballz Draggin with 3 lines in the water limited with 3 coho and 2 lakers.

The Screwball landed 14 mixed fish.

The Balls Deep landed 17 mixed fish, 1 whitefish.

We were all back on the dock by noon.

Got out for a few hours, nice calm day. Started in 25 FOW off the Iron and worked to 140.

Dark colors while foggy, purple, black, and skunk were producers. After the fog burned off, out we went to 120.

Picked up a laker on monkeypuke 35 feet down. Otherwise pretty well died off.

All for all 7 for 13

3 steelies

2 coho

2 lakers

Seemed to be the same on Sunday. Had first line in by 7:45 first fish by 7:50. We went 3 for 5 with 2- lakers and a nice walleye. Purple & black bombers seemed to be the hot item. When the fog burned off it pretty much died off to nothing. Hope to get back out this weekend.

Its seemed to of slowed down a little but the bite is still good. Surface temps are still down and the water color is good. Walleyes are starting to show up a little bit more. Were also starting to get more fish on the downriggers.
