As the small shallow lakes freeze I’m leaning towards the big lakes in the Boat Ice under 5” is not a good idea. If your in a Boat concentrate on early ice locations and presentations. Just don’t tell the fish you are in a Boat. Lol. Fish the weed lines for walleyes and suspended panfish. […]

Wow, winter is here…almost Fall fishing is at its finest on the Park Rapids Lakes Area.  Walleyes can be found shallow at night by trolling crankbaits in 6-10 ft. of water. A flashy Pearl #7 Berkley Flicker Minnow is a very productive walleye catching bait.   Focus on shallow feeding shelves just outside in-flowing rivers/creeks […]

Florescent Orange or Green have been the top colors. Rainbow chubs, small suckers, or red tails have all been boating fish. Look for fish along the bottom of breaks that […]

I do know that when I’m catching crappies bigger than a bucket I’m in 30 ft. of water fishing a 1/8 oz. jig tipped with a Berkley Gulp white 2” grub.  And occasionally, […]
