LAST WEEKEND OF THE SEASON
I am sitting here waiting to see how much snow, rain and storm we get. The forecasts say we are right on the edge between rain and snow and that most of the snow will stay north of us. I wish I had more faith in their predictions. What comes, comes and we will deal with it.
Sunday is the close of the walleye season and we will have all of our houses of by Sunday afternoon. Our access will close for the winter season on Sunday afternoon, as well. If you want to continue fishing for perch, we would encourage you to visit resorts who are staying open. Generally these are resorts who have bars and restaurants which stay open year round.
Fishing last weekend was a lot of the same as the prior weekends. We did see the beginning of a shallow walleye bite on the rocks in 15-18’. There were still a lot of smaller ones, but we also saw some slot fish. Perch continue to bite along the mud/gravel break line in around 27’ and also deeper in the mud in 30-33’. Still a lot of smaller ones but some jumbos mixed in.
Remember the perch contest at Hunters Point this Saturday. Historically perch from our resort have done well in that contest. We have a few rental houses open this weekend, including a Premier Ice Cabin so give us a call. Most are deeper in good perch country, but we have a couple shallower on the rocks, as well.
If you would like more information, or would like to reserve one of our rental houses, please give us a call at 320-684-2233.
