Cucumbers?

[Pig_sticka]

i have read numberous reports on walleyes being caught on cucumbers? am i reading it right? why in the world would anyone even try cucumbers. maybe it has been reported here already but it is just bewildering.

[Crawlerman]

Most fish will take corn; According to the In-Fisherman the best bait for Grass Carp (a species not yet common in Minnesota-- rare occurences in the Mississippi river chain of catches have been reported) is using a cherry tomato. So why not? Fish gotta have their veggies too... yup. The green shape prally looks something like a frog, small perch or sunny to them underwater. Who knows.

Speed trolling with Cucumbers in the summer works real good. When they hit they won't let go. Sorry I had to! I personally have never heard of using cucumbers for bait.

I can see the "Cuce Jig" on the store shelves already

Cukes work really well on Iowegian walleyes (AKA-Bullheads)!

[IceNutt]

Out here in Colorado it's a "bread & butter" kinda bait. Ice On!

Oooook

I think its time for you to come in out of the cold, or maybe you need to go ice fishing really, really bad.

All work, no fishing, make pig go nuts.

When the water gets below 65, I keep my cucumber in the boat.

[Guest]

I heard he was speed trollin with a Baby Dill pickle?
Could have been mistaken for a Little Gerkin.

[Guest]

It may be short, but it sure is skinny.......

[bigpike]

cant hit the bottom of a tuna can but can scrape the heck out of the sides

[Guest]

Seriously now, cucumbers do work. Jig a minnow with your active rod, rub a little cucumber on your dead stick rod...Fish On!!

[Surface Tension]

Ok all kidding aside. Ive heard you can drill a hole in them and use them as a rod holder.

[fiskyknut]

They might make a good bobber.

Fall season is beautiful on Lake of the Woods. Fishermen have seen many 26-28” walleye caught. Downriggers are going to depths of 29 feet. The south shore reports fishing good whether downrigging in the lake, river fishing or fishing the mud flats. Bait fishermen are using jigs and shiners in the bays and river. Small jigs, chartreuse, orange and gold in color seem to be the best. Shorelines near Zippel Bay are producing fish in 12-16 feet of water using spinners with minnows. Northerns are in the bay and small mouth bass are being found on the Zippel reef. Crank bait fishing is successful 5 miles north of Zippel Bay in 34 feet of water.
The Northwest Angle and Islands report good walleye fishing in 10-12 feet of water with good sizes. It has been reported that 3 anglers released 60 walleyes this weekend using """""chunks of cucumber"""" on lead head jigs. Minnows and crawlers and vertical jigging with fluorescent green or gold jigs produced good catches around the islands.

Be sure to remember Lake of the Woods this fall at the 13th Annual Oktoberfest. The dates this year are Friday through Sunday, September 27th - 29th. This festival features a huge tent with a large wood dance floor and plenty of old time and country music. There will be something for all ages with food and a craft show throughout the weekend.

[Guest]

Oh yes, I remember hearing this report back in September. What it forgot to mention is that they were carving the cucumber chunks into Minnow Shapes. I heard the Spicy Dill in the shape of a Lake Shiner was the hottest

Pig, don't get to excited. We are just having some fun!!

[JoJo]

Well, with the price of Shiners these days, you might be on to something. LOL

Cucs are going 2 for 88 cents at the local CUB foods.
