View Full Version : Minaki
My buddies and i will be heading up there in a few wks. What is working? Where do you get the big ones and at what depths? What are the hot cranks and colors in that area? Where do you get the best live bait?

Hey Snag,
If you haven't read my Minaki Report post, you should..Water still a bit high, but dropping..Saw a guy hitting some 9 and 10 pounders trolling Reef Runners under the RR bridge at North Star..That's where we stayed and got most of our bait from there as well..Also try Raspberry Island and around Harbour Island as well..Fish seemed to be scattered, so I might try a crawler rig if I were you..Good Luck and post us when you get back..

Snag,
Was on the Winnipeg a couple of days a week and a half ago and was using jigs and minnows and crawlers, didn't do any trolling (unfortunately!). Seemed the crawlwers were some better than minnows for us. We worked areas between Minaki and The Dalles that I'm familiar with. Underwater humps, long tapering points, etc. Since the water level is really high the current is strong in allot of places. Found the better 'eyes in the 22' to 30' depths. Long line trolling sounds to be the best bet in the 25' to 30' depths. Have a good trip!
