What A Line Up!

The last couple of weeks the walleye were mostly feeding shallow, more so than usual for this time of the year. Most of the larger Walleye have been caught in 9-15 feet. The smaller walleye are schooling in the same depth water as the larger walleye. Also, many fishermen are reporting stacked walleye in 18-20 feet as well as out in 27 feet but seem to be less aggressive. For the past couple of weeks we have had a 27 inch walleye for our big one caught for the week. This week our big three are 30, 29 ½ and 29 ¼, all released of course. We have also seen pictures of a Northern measuring 46 inches and one 44 inches. The Northern are definitely slowing down on top water baits and seem to be hitting more large buck tails and spinner baits. Black seems to be the main color.
I am attaching a picture of the most beautiful fish I have ever seen. This should answer a lot of people’s questions on whether or not there is muskie in gullrock. This is the second muskie I have seen in 5 years. Many fishermen will catch a northern that has no dots or stripes but have clear silver sides. 99% of the time this is a silver northern, not a muskie.

This week walleye liked:
Gold, Silver and Blue
This week Northern liked:
Black Buck Tails and Spinner baits.

Gullrock's on Fire

What a great fishing week. We have had some great walleye fishing. It seems like there are fish everywhere. We even had a 27 ½ inch walleye off the dock. Also reports of 40+ Northern every day. The weather has finally seemed to straighten out, though we have not gotten too hot yet. Most days are in the low to mid 70’s with a good chop on the water. Some of the hot spots this week are the big island in keg, the toe of the boot, and marker island. Sunken island has not been producing as well as it should for this time of year although there is still some fish on it. Most of the more aggressive fish are in 18-21 feet. People are catching some nicer fish just a little deeper, 24 feet. Northers are hitting top water pretty good now. Suick has been the best lure and also large spoons are working well. The bigger Northerns are all coming out of weeds close to deep water, clay banks have been a little slow, but still a few monsters have been caught like this 43, 23lber.
Jig color of choice is blue and chartreuse, with a minnow or leech.
Back trollers are using large gold spinners with minnows or crawlers.
We hope to see you soon to get a piece of this action.
