Dick Beardsley Fishing Report

 

The hot weather continues and surface water temps. are now approaching 80 degrees. Walleye fishing has actually picked up this past week a little. Detroit Lake has a bite going for walleyes in the weeds and the shallow water rocks. Windy days are the best. Franklin Lake has been kicking out some walleyes for folks pulling crankbaits. Big Cormorant, Island, Shell, Ice Cracking, and Elbow are also kicking out a few fish on Lindy Rigs and crawlers. The bigger panfish are out in the deepwater weedlines and the bass fishing remains good with bigger fish on the sharp breaks hitting jigs and tubes or plastic worms.
The muskie bite is starting to pickup a bit on Big Detroit and Pelican. Please remember to practice selective harvesting, by doing so we will continue to have great fishing for years to come! Have a great day on the water!
