The ice fishing gear has been put away. The big water and inland lake gear is being prepped. Not too far away from days back on the boat bringing smiles to faces! Im hoping to be running trips starting in April and then a fun and long season theough October. If you want to catch it we can go fish for it!

The inland lakes are really heating up with catches as the water temperatures are finally dripping. Live bait had been best with some bites on artificial lures as well. The perch and walleye are starting to group up in shallower waters between 35-20 FOW. Some perch up to 13” and walleye so far have been 15-19” with a few larger. Each week is getting better with the cooler water and fish starting to really want minnows to pack on weight for the winter. Other live bait working well is large crawlers and artificial jigs. Trolling crank baits, large body baits and crawler harnesses in the evening has been good. Live bait doing most of the work under slip bobbers and vertical jigging in the mornings.

The Coho and King bite still going strong in East Bay
