NW LacSuel

[RB]

Going up to NW Lac Suel on the 9th, staying at Goose Bay. We went up last year same week. Weather was nasty, caught plenty to eat but not many big one's. Some northerns while chasing 'eyes. Read alot of the earlier posts and the info will be very helpful. Anyone know of any spots for big northerns or know of any other walleye hotspots. One of they guys that is going up this year loves to fish pike. One week to go! Can't wait. Any info would be appreciated.

For the BIGGER northerns, your best bet is down the lake.
Some decent sized one's can be had west of Shanty Narrows. To consistantly catch the bigger one's head towards:
Manatoba Point> both sides expecially the west bank.
Stoney Point>
Windigo Point> south side
McKenzie Bay> reefs close to cabbage beds
Poplar Narrows> north bank (big island side)
Hungry Narrows> east bank
Find Cabbage beds that are adjacent to deeper water (20-60'). Big northerns like that situation cause they can move up into the cabbage or close to it and feed. If not much happening in or around the cabbage move out deeper to locate the bigger fish.
June can be good but have caught my biggest fish in Sept. June/July usually produce fish up to 40".
Personally, the northern fishing isn't what it used to be on LS. Seems like the last 3-4 years the population of bigger northerns have declined. My guess that is why they imposed a slot size 2 years ago. Hopefully that will help the northern fishing like it did for the walleye fishing. The Big one is still in there
GOOD FISHING!
Post a fishing report when ya get back!

When you locate the walleyes. Try pulling some cranks over the same area. This tactic produces better size fish.
