Minnewaska Bait and Tackle

Fishing this past week was good. The big problem was the wind. Walleyes can be had trolling shallow running cranks in 5-8 ft. of water. Have not heard much activity for walleyes using jigs and minnows. Lot of norherns being caught while fishing walleyes. These fish are small, so sort through them. Bass are in same area also. Sunfish have been hard to locate recently. Have fun and enjoy last holiday of the summer!

Water temps cooled this past week and fishing improved. Look for norherns shallow (5-7 ft). Troll with shallow running cranks. You will also pick up some bass and walleyes, especially at sunset and after. Sunnies still hard to locate, but once found, they are hitting. Our fall walleye patterns should be starting as days are now getting shorter. Good luck and have fun!

Short and sweet- this week was tough. Sunfish still in 12-14 ft, but they are moving around so much. Northerns can be had trolling spoons on deep weedline, about 14 ft. Bass are shallow at sunrise and go deeper as sun rises. Walleyes are still scarce.

Report is same as last week. Still no area lake reports.

Sunnies are still best bet on Waska. Get in about 14 ft. of water and use worms or small leeches with jigs. These fish are moving around, so you will have to locate them each day.
Starting to hear reports of walleyes being caught at dark and after dark. Use shallow running cranks in 4-8 ft. of water. This is early in fall for this pattern, but it is worth a try.
Bass and northerns are still active on Waska. No reports from area lakes.

Check last week!s report, it is the same. Weather remains good and fish are being caught.

Still pretty much the same. Bass, northerns, and sunnies still good on Waska. More reports of walleyes being caught after dark on Waska and Reno. Use shallow running cranks in 4-6 feet of water on Waska. Weather remains good, so have fun!

Easy report this week. The weather is hot and the fish report is same as last week. Have fun and watch for updates.

Thanks again for all our customers coming to our picnic. A good time was had by all!
Bass, northerns, and sunfish are still hitting on Waska. Have not heard much from area lakes this past week. Walleyes late at night on Reno and Waska. Good luck and have a good week fishing.
