Long Lake Fishing Reports - New Auburn

[snoozebutton]

That was the answer I was hoping for. Unless I stumble onto a boat rental shop I'll be fishing from shore, but at least I know I've got chance at a Walleye or Two.

thanks for your help Newbie

Any recent reports on eyes either on cranks or live bait rigs in the last week?

Sorry I have not been out but I am hearing they are getting a few trolling cranks still but no real info to tell you other than that.

Anyone been out on the ice this year? Long Lake Bait and Tackle said there was 4-6" of ice. I was expecting a little more by this time. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks for the update Hd Wtr Hillbilly. How is the ice fishing going your way?

[Hd Wtr Hillbilly]

The fishing has been pretty slow, just like everyone else. I was hoping it would pick up with the warm weather but I actually did worse this last weekend than I did when it was so cold a few weeks ago.

I have been moving the shack quite a bit and still havent had a lot of luck, enough fish to keep me interested but not near enough to say that the fishing is good....

Muskie season is closed, stick to pike and walleye.

[seng]

oh it is, ok then wats the best for pike bait?

[seng]

and for walleye too?

[snoozebutton]

Other than minnows, I don't know what to tell you. Don't be afraid to go too small for walleyes, I caught 2 small ones last week fishing for crappies. A friend of mine was catching walleyes out there a couple of years ago late at night around a hump. He wouldn't tell me where but I know they didn't go out until around 7:00 at night and stayed til around midnight. He did say they were fishing in about 30 FOW.
