Minaki, what are your opinions !

Lots of fish and Lots of people!

I have fished west and north of Minaki for 10 years. I have never fished right in Minaki itself. We have had good fishing where we go for walleyes, some big northerns, and an occasional smallmouth. I would rather catch a cold than a northern but some of my brothers and friend like to fish for them. Minaki area itself did look crowded but I hear some good things about the fishing there. E-mail me @ SRAnderson@Midamerican.com for more info if you want it.

Good choice, lots of fish all summer long I have a cabin there
and last summer I found fishing to be very good!
I can't remember a day last summer that fishing was bad, three
hour limits were the norm for us. Early season was jigging in the river which produced lots of walleyes, the rest of the summer we mostly used bottom bouncers with a leech and shad raps on a down rigger in Big Sand lake. You should not have a hard time finding fish good luck. I'm going there to ice fish this weekend...

HEY, where is your cabin ? Is there a chance we know each other ?

Good Fishen

How do you go about getting a cabin on Bog Sand lake? 100 year lease? Win the lottery? Build your own? Snap a picure of the prime minister in a naughty act? Die and go to heaven?

Fished Minaki and Big Sand for 14 years straight in Mid June and it seemed every year got worse. Quit going there cause there was too many people and the fishing was slow. We knew the area well and the reefs very well and had many spots to chose from. Yet, there were days where we came back to camp fishless. It seemed that sometimes Big Sand would just go completely dead. Been going to other places in Ontario that have more action. But, i got to admit that when the fish are biting Minaki has some giant eyes.

thanks all

I've been fishing in minaki for about eight years now and I found the fishing at the time I started going there better than it is now. I have to admit there are still big fish in that lake and you do have lots of days of good fishing

I have to agree. I'm a guide at Paradise cove and there were some days where you would return back to the camp with no fish. There are just some days where it's like that. It always seems that Duane always catches fish when he goes out. He must have a good supply of TNT.
