The old Hi-Haven resort... My parents actually used to own that place many years ago. I forget what it's called now, something with an eagle.

[DonBo]

That's the place right between me and Ike Walton's right? Jeez, we're neighbors! We'll have to hook up this summer.

[CrappieKilla]

Yeah I believe so... I didn't make it up as much as I wanted to last summmer, but I'm going to try a lot harder this year.

[scoutWBL]

I'm looking to get out on Yellow in the next few weeks. My father has a place on the east side off of Jeffries Rd. I've had some fun with the crappies in the spring but have not fished on the ice out there. I'll report back when I make it out there!

[superiorfishguy]

good luck

[DonBo]

A buddy caught some nice crappies near Jeffries last week. All well after dark. Hope this helps. Good luck!

[scoutWBL]

thanks, I'm torn between Iowa or Wisconsin next weekend... Look for my report either way.

[snoozebutton]

Was out on a small lake yesterday and got a dozen pretty decent crappies but the ice is deteriorating fast. Right now I'd say it's day to day for getting out there. A friend stopped by Clam yesterday and they were getting to the ice with boats.

[vman59]

lets see , boats..hmmm. Yep done that before.

[snoozebutton]

Well, if you're willing to go that route, you should be able to catch fish. Before the landing got real bad (last Wednesday and Thursday), a friend of mine was doing really good out there. I sold my john boat 4 years ago and kind of sorry I did now.

[vman59]

no I won't go that route, not as daring as I use to be.

[DonBo]

no I won't go that route, not as daring as I use to be.

I'm with ya. We'll have open water soon enough. Time to start thinking about turkey season.

[CrappieKilla]

We'll have open water soon enough.

Open water very soon! I'll prob be out there in the boat this coming weekend doin some crappie fishin!

[Jarrid Houston]

Where's anyone going, and what are you using? I will probably drift live bait on the minong flowage.

[DonBo]

I'll be on Yellow. Fishing walleye with live bait, drifting, backtrolling, bobber fishing, jigging, whatever works. Maybe trolling the shallows with Rappalas will be the ticket. Don't go in with only one game plan.

Unless the crappies are biting, then all bets are off.

[superiorfishguy]

let me know how you do on Minog flowage if you would--I was going to try that also--til I seen how windy it was!!!

[Jarrid Houston]

Just caught a few eyes, slow and yes windy windy!!

[superiorfishguy]

great--I never fished that lake yet and was going to give it a try til I seen how bad that wind was blowing--well maybe I give it a try in a few weeks--thanks

[geonicg]

I'm going to be spending a week at Gilmore lake this August and just looking for some tips on fishing the lake. Any information would be great. Thanks!

[mrmanners]

Fished Devils lake this weekend with some success. Nice Sunfish on crawlers in 4-6 feet of water. Trolled #9 shads for Walleyes and picked up lots of Large mouths in 18-22 feet. When the Sun was out the Blue/White color was the target, while cloudy it was brown/white. Caught a few Pike on floating raps and minnows in the 12-16 feet.

[DonBo]

Nice to hear a good report come from Devils. Is the water level finally coming back up?

[Lutefisk82]

Yellow has been great for me, 15 fow lindy rig w/ a leech for 15"-20"eyes.

Anybody been to Big Mckenzie? Heading there in a couple of weeks, what's been biting?

[DonBo]

Agreed. Yellow has been a great lake during July the past few years. Can't wait to get back there this Friday.

[mrmanners]

This was my first year fishing the lake but the water level seemed fine accept at the landing as you have to back out a ways and need solid four wheel drive to get out. I will be back up the last weekend in July with another report.

[Snowman22]

Any one catching on yellow???
