Slip bobber fishing on Lac Seul

[bigtimeelectric]

BTMBNCR, yes that did work very well all week. My sister has a tough time feeling that subtle bite on the jig so the bobber is a perfect situation for them as my brother in law can handle catching fish on the jig well. She was using a bare hook with a couple split shots and a half a crawler, real "old school".

And as far as my honey holes in big mac I don't think there is any secrets there as I see alot of "community" fishing spots there, You got my group intrigued with your long runs down to the main basin. I am sure we will see more of that part of the lake the next trip we make which will hopefully be next year.

\\Every year we are tempted to try different lakes in canada, but after months of discussion we always end up back at Little Beaver Lodge, it is a tough habit to break. Although I was able to pry a big fish spot out of Doug this year and he promised me 1 more if I come back next year....... I need to start going up once a month in the summer and just leave theboat sit there.... now theres a thought I am going to consider......... Good luck everybody keep the LS posts going

We always stop on a quiet point and anchor for lunch and fish slip bobbers. Many times it is hard to get sandwiches made and consumed when the bite is on. Many laughs and memories watching bobbers

Only experience I have with slip bobbers on Lac Seul is off the dock...one of our traditions is to go down to the dock after dinner with lawn chairs, cocktails (since we don't drink while out in the boat) and slip bobber rigs...always catch some walleyes, this year the biggest one off the dock was 24-1/2"!

What do you guys prefer to use on the end?


I heard some guys prefer to use a light jig 1/16-1/8 oz so the minnow looks real as it sits under the float.

I was just teasing about giving up your honeyholes.Lucy and I are trying to decide if we are going to stay for 3 weeks or a month.The last 2 weeks of July and the first 2 weeks of August,her suggestion.
Next time come down to the main lake and I'll show you a couple of big fish spots.The long boat ride was worth it.
How far do you keep the bait up off the bottom,usually,with a slip bobber setup?
I'm eating Blueberries we picked in Canada by Lac Seul as I type this.Yum!!!!!Bill

size 4 or 6 red hook with a split shot for weight and a minnow hooked through the middle of the back has proven best for us...

Don't be afraid to try a leech, either. Just hook it through the sucker (tail) - they wiggle pretty good hooked that way.

I second that. Just be sure to check it every once in a while to make sure that the opposite end doesn't accidentally get hooked and you have a little leach roll on your line.
