The last three days have been hot and windy.
I have fished in these
conditions with mixed results.
The
forecast for Friday is much the same. I have
found the walleyes to be more shallow than
the last couple weeks when we were
contending with the mayfly hatch. We have a
new hatch of baitfish and so the minnow bite
is back on also.
Checking
the inside edge of cabbage weeds as well as
the deep water edge has paid off for my
boat. Rip jigging is back into play when
fishing these inside weed edges. I have also
done a couple of Crappie trips and had
success rip jigging 1/16oz jigs with 2"
twister tails or 1/8oz jigs with 3" tails in
11-13 ft weed lines.
Bass
are active on both Long Lakes, Floyd,
Cotton, and Big Detroit. Walleyes are hit
and miss on area lakes due to weather
patterns, but Big Detroit is heating up. I
had crappie success on Pickerel, Sallie and
Big Toad. For the Muskie guys and gals, you
already know that Big DL is a must do deal
right now.
