Is the new ramp private or state run?
Thanks

Did OK this weekend, caught alot of fish but most were short. keepers from behind the islands when the wind was blowing out of the south on sat. sun, it rained and wind died.Pretty much stayed on or around the islands and points on the east side of the lake. My old north chip showed me fishing on dry land.BB spinners gold,silver, perch colored in 8 to 16 fow.

Bitter has been producing good fish, although it has slowed down. I would forget the BB and through cranks over the weeds or jigs/mimics through the weeds. That's where I've found the bigger fish to be.

I would like to start fishing the glacial lakes. I fished Roy once (didn't boat a fish) and fished Waubay twice (did fantastic on Perch and Crappie) these trips took place about 8 years ago. I would gladly trade a river trip for a lake trip with any interested people.

I thought this would work, but we were catching fish on the spinner rigs just outside the weeds and no one wanted to switch things up. I'm definitely going to try this the next time out. Glad to see there is another Mimic Minnow fan out there. They work.

We did the same but with smiley blades and slow death rigs... I hate getting weeded up all the friggin time...but necessary at times.

Anyone been on Reetz other than ice fishing?

Wonder if weed weasels and action tails would work in and among the weed beds...
