Black Bay Outpost

[IA DAN]

Thats funny Mike because that was the first thing my son said when he got back to the cabin.Every year we go up there we try to find a new place to fish just in case the old spots aren't working.Next year we were talking about taking a day trip to Bray Lake and fishing some of the islands along the way,as long as the wind isn't to bad.I noticed you fished that area and was wondering if you thought it would be worth our time to go down there from Black Bay.Thanks for the advice you've given me these past few years its helped me become a better walleye fisherman( I'm still learning).

Ia Dan,

Lets dont start any rumors about Sasquatch living around Black Bay. After all we have only seen him twice and it could have been a man in a costume.

I first fished Bray about 8 years ago and it was the first week of June. We caught fish but it wasnt any better than any other part of the Lake. My last trip this year into Bray was great. We caught a lot of big fish but all were in 30'/35' of water and I think the fishing was part of a late summer deep pattern and we hit it just right. I personally would not make that run from Black Bay again. Lots of unknown water and it could be a great trip to mess up a motor on. Have you explored the water east of Black Bay towards the north east arm of the lake? Lots of great water there and that area of the lake has a strong reputation for good fishing. Heck Dan the whole lake is full of fish if you just fish the wind and stay on a strong pattern.

How did your group do this year?

Mike I agree with you, I don't know if there is a bad area on Lac Seul.We have had better yrs. up there than this yr.,but it was a funny yr for the weather.In one day I had shirt on,shirt off,shirt on with rain gear,then rain gear with jacket,all of this in last week of July don't figure.We usually fish Aldous,Rocky Point,around Fish Gut and some of the islands in that area.We went to Wolf Narrows but not to much luck there this yr.We havent really ventured any farther than Manitoba Point as far as going North East,are we missing something.We always figured there would be more boat pressure up that way.Are you talking around Mckenzie Bay or further East.My sons bringing a group of guys up next yr and staying at the main lodge the same week we will be there.Were planning on coming over and fishing with them for a day or two so any ideas where to start fishing in that area(Big Island,Ghost Narrows,Poplar Narrows).We dont usually fish that far east,we have been going to McDonalds Light and working our way back to Black Bay.Our biggest walleye this yr. was 26.5 and Northern was 37in.,but plenty of unders to eat.One thing about Lac Seul is that my worst day of fishing up there is going to still be better than my best day back home.Dont forget to root those Hawkeyes on.

Yea Mike Kansas this is Tina, Because of all your help I am now the Lil Walleye Slayer, but still have a lot to learn. Out of our group of 7 this year I had the biggest Walleye and the biggest Northern this year.

I want to thank you and IA Dan for all the helpful information about Black Bay Outpost. You both have been very helpful. Oh yea and I would love to see SASQUATCH too. Last year I videotaped a moose eating lillies on Sunlight Lake and this year I videotaped a bear that swam across Altimeter Creek in front of our boat. Maybe one of these years I will get to videotape SASQUATCH.

Thanks Guys,
