DL Report 3/12-3/15

Guys and Gals....

Here's my report from DL, hope this helps since the info you will get from the bait shops and Casino will be very sparse at best. Between two ppl we caught 20 northerns, 3 perch, 3 small walleyes which went back in the lake, and 14 crappies (12-14 inches)

Weather was very windy and slight fronts were passing thru, not sure if this led to our fish catching experience or not. It seems that there are alot of fresh water shrimp and fish may be feeding on natural bait versus what we dropped down in the hole (and believe me we have alot of stuff). Most of the fish we caught were on a plain minnow and a hook, keep it simple. Also because of the fresh water shrimp I would try a ratso or shrimpo tipped with a waxie. Northerns we used tip ups, 1 caught jigging. Sounds like all winter long the perch have been non-existent or sporadic.

Nothing biting at Creel Bay or the Casino, 6 mile Bay is where you will have the most action. At this point it appears you can get around with a 4x4 truck.

If you are searching for the big perch, and have to travel a long distance with the price of gas I might consider something else

Was out in DL with 5 friends Thursday the 13th thru Saterday the 15th, Thursday got a few fish tryed alot of locations, slow day. Friday trying alot more locations, no fish. Friday night found a spot all by myself in Mission bay, proceeded to catch 20 walleyes myself, 6 fish 3-5lbs, with alot of 15-18 inch mixed in. Was a great bite. Headed back over there Saterday morning set up before light and as the sun peaked over the horiazon the fish were hungry caught another 20 fish myself, and my buddys caught alot also, left the lake with our 30 fish limit between the 6 of us! What a great day. Stayed over at Westbay resort and loved the cabins and the nice people who run the resort.
