Gun long has been known as a consistent crappie producer, and it’s no secret that the majority of people fishing it do so for crappies, especially during the ice-fishing season.
While some bigger walleyes are being caught on deep, main-lake structure in some areas, weedy spots seem to be holding better numbers of fish.
With that deeper bite, bottom bouncers and crawlers are working best with a slow-death rig or a spinner, trolling points and saddles.
Summer fishing is in full swing, and the fish are biting. Here’s what’s happening at metro area lakes.
The fishing is hot for pretty much every species, with walleyes being caught most anyway you like.
The cupboard isn’t completely bare on the walleye front these days, but there’s no question that this Cass County lake is now more recognized for its panfish- and bass-fishing opportunities.
Panfish and bass continue to provide consistent action along the weedlines in most locations.
My best advice to any Mississippi River bound bass angler? Treat it like a flowage, and you’re sure to score well.
Dog days of summer? Fish not biting? Wrong. Even walleyes being found these days. Here’s where and how to fish ’em.
