Minaki report?

Any recent reports from Minaki? Looks cold and wet.

Well the weather has been up and down as of late get about 2-3 days of sun and warm weather then a couple of cool days with rain. Hopefully this will not be the trend for the whole summer.

a friend of mine has a place on harbor island, they were up last week to open things up for the summer....fished about 7 hours total over 3 days...caught about 50 to 60 walleyes, kept a few to eat each day....fishing was good despite the unsettled weather and high water....

Was just south of Minaki on the Winnipeg system from May 19th through the 24th. Water is up at least four feet from previous levels. A whole new set of rock problems as last years islands are this years skeg hazards. Weather was generally misearble with rain all days except one, that day it snowed.

Despite the weather, fishing was quite good with lots of 16-19" eyes and a couple of 36" northerns. Had a huge perch bite gong while drifting for eyes all week. I went to a lighter jig in deep water and got 40 bonus 12" perch besides the eyes. The perch fillets are only slightly smaller than the 17" walleye fillets I brought home. Good luck!

Thanks for the info guys. What was the pattern? Are the fish on the reefs, or out in the open on big sand? How deep? What were productive spots? Wild edge, whisky, eagles nest? Minnows, leaches? Sorry for the million questions. Getting anxious. Little more than two weeks and I cant wait!!! God I miss it up there.

Slugchucker, sorry, just reread your post, and saw you were south of Minaki. Big North or further south?
