Two adults, Two kids under Five Years old, Two Hours & Twenty-one Walleyes!
It is pretty easy to find fish and leave with a limit when fishing at Sportsman's this year. Gregg and his young family went out and had a great time Sunday afternoon pulling in walleyes, check out the pictures below.
Annual Emerald Shiner Run
The time is soon coming that the emerald shiners will be running the river and so will the walleyes. Just in the past few days we have started to see seagulls out in the river feeding which is one indication that there are some shiners roaming around. Another indication is some local netters have started to see a few in their nets too. It seems to be just the very beginning but stay tuned in the next few weeks the rush will be on! Get your arms pumped up your going to need them.
The who, what, when and where
We are starting to see the fishing start to move in closer to the south shore this past week. Long Point and Zippel Bay have been popular spots bait fishing with gold spinners or jigs tipped with a minnow or trolling with shades of any color in thirty to thirty-five feet of water.
Lake Sturgeon
Few reports of some nice size sturgeon have been heard lately too. The best approach to find these monsters is to anchor in the Rainy River or Four Mile Bay. These fish are great to smoke the meat or just catch and release they can be a fighter. Don't forget you can keep one until Sept 30!
Early Goose Season is now thru September 22
The geese are flying. Talked to a guy that says he has seen several birds fly over his house the past few days in the early morning. If you're looking for a hunt, give Eric from Quack Addicts Hunting a call 218-202-0030 and Sportsman's Lodge for your lodging and meal accommodations at 800-862-8602.
Sharp tailed Grouse
The grouse have been drumming and locals have been talking. The chatter has been that they have been seeing more than average. Should be a good year!

Fall Transition
We are starting to see the walleyes move into the rock and mud into twenty-six to twenty-eight feet of water as we start to transition into fall. Reports of some nice twenty-five to twenty-eight inch walleyes have been talked about lately too. A limit of walleyes is not hard to come by nor has it all summer. Jigging with a minnow is all you need to find a nice school of walleyes around Oak Island this fall.
Slab Crappies
Due to the cooler than normal temperatures the crappie bite is starting earlier than normal this year. Reports of a few have just started to bite; cooler temperatures in the upcoming two weeks will really get them hungry. Come on up and experience a Grand Slam! Walleyes,
Crappies & Ducks!
Give us a call today 800-772-8411.
