FISHING REPORT Monday, June 30, 2008
Water level: Slightly High - Water Temp: ~ 71°
We have reopened after the flood! Boat Rentals, Launch Ramp and Shore Fishing are now available. Lakes are OPEN!! All restrictions have been lifted.
Bluegill are spawning. Look for them in the shallow channels - or our parking lot!!! Wax worms or redworms are the best bet. Just had a nice meal of gills caught this afternoon. Delicious!! Catfish are biting after the flood. Several nice ones have been caught in the channel areas recently along with some smaller ones as well. Nightcrawlers or chicken livers on the bottom were the key to success. Stripers are showing up in Petite Lake. Try trolling through the middle of the lake. Use small minnows or spikes on a mini-mite jig. Walleye are very active in channel areas with current - especially under the bridges. Large fathead minnows, leeches or nightcrawlers are working well. Many nice fish in the 14 - 18 inch range caught this week. Many taken under the Spring Lake channel bridge recently. If you can get near the lakes - the fishing is fabulous! Muskie and Northern Pike action is good. Some nice activity in the Spring Lake channels. 32 inch Northern caught off our dock by the bridge before the flood on a minnow. Large and Smallmouth Bass have been very active in the channel areas too. A beautiful 4 pound smallmouth caught under the Spring Lake channel bridge recently. It was photographed and immediately released. Crappies have moved to deeper channels and the lakes. Fish the sunny areas tight along wood seawalls and piers. Small fathead minnows, spikes or waxworms are your best bet.
Hope to see you soon.
