Be at Wright's camp June 2nd, and again last week of Sept. 'eye fishing should be great this year...just hope it doesn't get too warm, to drive the big pike out of the bays. Good luck to all....Jigmatt

I'm curious too how the bite has been. I leave for Gullrock in about a week. Any reports?

We were at Gull Rock from July 14 thru the 20th. Have been going every year for probably 25 years. We were dissapointed this year that week. Seemed like walleyes were small and had days where bite was slow. Still caught alot, ate alot,and brought back our limits of 17-18" fish. Just seems like something is going on with the lake. Last year was similar in our eyes. Our biggest walleye in group was only 22" and one person didnt get an over. Seemed like we always got at least a couple of 25-26 inchers

I want to think the warm/hot weather is causing a rough year. Last year they had the dam shut down and no water is flowing in river chain so that is what we said for an excuse on slower fishing.

Targetting deep water drop offs was key for our trip in June. We were pulling fish out of 30-40fow.

Good Luck

my neighbour told me he had some luck on the back side of burnt island so thats where i headed. within the first 15 minutes i had boated 4 walleye and released them , because i still had 2 dozen minnows and lots of time to fish, 20 minutes later, the sky was so dark you almost needed to turn your lights on and almost every boat was tearing to home. it was really dirty looking and i made it almost home before the first shot of lightning came. so there i was at the dock with 2 dozen minnows and a wife who wanted me to do chores. so much for the fishing in the morning.

around 2 pm i managed to get out again, the bad weather had passed and it was hot and sunny. so i went to marker island and spent 45 minutes there, got 1 little guy, so off i went to round island but there were 6 boats off the point of the island so i went to a little hump not far from round and picked up 4 for dinner and then i went to Iowa point and got another couple. so i decided i would troll over and mark the reef opposite that point on my gps, as i was going along marking the reef, another boat comes past and said to me " can you fish somewhere else, i'm using this area" I couldn't believe it, then the guy laughed. turns out it was a guy i know from red lake and he was just making sure i would notice him in his brand new 21 foot ranger 621 with the 300hp merc and the 2 giagantic humminbird depth finders. After i finished drooling over the boat, we had a nice chat and i left him my left over minnows since i'm going to be away for the next 5 days .

tonight they are calling for severe thunderstorms with winds to 90 km/hr , large hail and torrential rain with possible tornadoes. so i don't know what it will do to the fishing for the week.
