In our group it seemed like orange and Chartresue, White and blue and white worked jigs were the best. we got some at 7' but mostly around 12-15 feet on or near structure. Others probably have better more current info.

Got back from our trip to Lac Seul at Mahkoons last Wednesday.

Had a great trip - great weather and good fishing. Biggest fish of the trip was 27 1/2" long, 6 1/2 lbs caught by me - caught on the first day there on a white lead head with a Gulp 5" Leech.

We never really had many problems catching our eater fish, and did well at Vaughn Lake in shallow water - 4 - 10' of water most of the time, just inside to just outside of the weedline.

We had the best luck on a Orange Lead Head and Salted minnows - when they were hitting Gulp worked well, when they were a bit passive the Gulp didn't perform as well. I would say the longest spell we had without a bite was 1/2 hour - but the group that was right behind us was picking up fish, so who knows what the deal was.

The water level was definitely up - giving us access to some areas that we haven't had in the past. Watch for floating logs - it wasn't terrible, but they were out there more than previous years.

I'll post some pictures when I get them.

Anyone been up to Chamberlain Narrows lately? We head up this Friday and can't wait to go fishing for some eyes. Just looking for some stories(if you don't mind), what worked best and where and when? Did anyone troll cranks recently?

Must have had some great guides on your trip. They must have really knew what they were doing. smile

I was there fourth of July week. fished mostly for big northerns and Muskie. The walleye fishing is always good. check the cabbage beds with a jig and minnow or gulp. the walleys went nuts in the weeds. if you are staying at Ojibway fish wallyes right in the narrows. If you find them on the fish finder you can catch all you want. For some reason late August the big pike hit the weed beds. If you run a rad dog or spinner thrugh them or over the top you might gt some big ones. Good luck

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
