Fishing · Brad Laabs Fishing Report - September 21, 2007

We are turning the corner on our weather and the transition to fall is
happening now. Water temps are at 60 degrees and dropping with the cool
nights. We have had a number of cold fronts move through the area this last
week and it has made the bite difficult. Walleyes have moved shallow now and the weed-line has changed with the start of the weed die off. Big minnows
are the main diet now. Northern pike are very active in the weeds. Muskie
action has been great on Big Detroit. Bass are after big plastics now. Check
the tops of the flats in the strong winds. Hot bass action on Long, Floyd
and Cotton. Smallmouth are starting to put the fall feedbag on now also.
Check Island and Cormorant for smallie action. Walleye tournaments will be held on White Earth the 15th and 16th and on Cormorant on the 21st & 22nd so plan accordingly. We are getting close to turnover so we will try to update when that takes place. It takes a couple of days for the bite to straighten out after turnover and then you will want to look to deep water and sharp break lines for the walleyes. We have lots of fronts and high winds this
time of year so pay attention to the weather and be safe.
