Kabetogama-Namakan Fishing Report 

A little good news for anglers this week, the bite is picking up some. Between the mayfly hatch and the onset of 80 degree weather, fishing this past week was slow, to say the least.

Anglers reported no problem seeing fish on their locators, usually in the 25’-35’ range, but getting them to bite became a major issue.

Some pike and bass were easily picked up on weed line and rocky shorelines, but this doesn’t satisfy the walleye anglers appetite.

Thursday and Friday of this last week, started hearing anglers report some success using slip sinker rigs with leeches or crawlers.

Small spinners on your rig helped entice some action while some reported using a plain snell with red hook. Either way, either bait your chances of catching some eyes are looking better.

Your best odds for catching some walleyes will be reef edges, windblown rip rap shorelines near deep water and creek or other inlets or outlets found in many bays.

I would favor both sides of the Sugarbush Channel, Nashota Point, Cuculus, Blind Ash Bay, Mud and Daily Bay tributaries and Lost Bay.

The aforementioned have great structure or tributaries that hold bait fish.

Jig and minnow diehards you may have success by navigation marker 38, off Headlight Island and off the Martin Islands.

Looks like a good chance of rain many days this next week, two points to consider, storms with lightning and thunder tends to drive fish deeper, hinting you may resort to jig and minnow or jig and leech.

An abundance of rain - increase inflow and outflow currents, which is a hangout for baitfish where game fish will come for feed.

Come on Up and Check it Out,
