Summer  is officially here in the BLA, temps on all our lakes are heating up and the fishing continues to be very good for all species! Walleyes are still mostly in their early summer locations – 12-22 feet, slip bobbers and leeches or Lindy rigs with leeches or chubs are turning the eyes – Pelican – Whitefish – and Gull are all good choices! NORTHERNS and Bass are very active biting on plastics, night crawlers and spinner baits along the edge of the deeper cabbage beds – Hubert – North long – and Gull have all been good! Panfishing remains strong, they have dropped a little deeper now that the spawn is done but the 8-12 foot weed edges with a small jig tipped with either a crappie minnow or wax worm – Roy – Upper Gull- and North Long have all been good! Now is a great time to book a guided fishing trip for the fisherman or fisherwomen in your life! Call S and W Bait at 218-829-7010 to book your trip now!!

What a great fishing opener weekend!! The weather was fantastic and for the most part the fish cooperated too. Walleyes were found on the shallow flats and break lines in 6-16 ft of water, fishing with  a shiner and leeches – Gull lake – Pelican – North long were all producers!! Northern were often mixed in with the walleyes as well and more than a few were caught!
The Panfish continue to be very active, with the warming waters many have now moved into there spawning locations at about 2-6 ft of water – fishing with a small jig under a bobber with either a crappie minnow or wax worm – Hubert – North Long – Whitefish are all a good choice with the shallow bays being where the good action is!
