Had a customer do "okay" in the Mudro area about 10 days ago but then he caught this really nice walleye!

Anyone else having good luck for 'eyes right now? Seems like I either get a report of great walleye fishing or they can't get hardly a nibble. :-)

Wow. That is a fish to be proud of.

Nice one! Thanks for sharing.

Any measurements on that pig? My group was forced to stay on Gun in May after a 2pm start trying to get to Friday Bay. Did quite well from shore on Gun.

Nice fish! I'm putting in this Saturday for the Gun Lake area. Hope the fishing is good for us too.

Fall Lake had been good to me this week . Floating jig tipped with a leech. Either slow trolling or drifting in 10 to 12 feet of water. Seems you have to be fairly close to deep water . Heading into BWCA in a couple days.

Have not found out yet how big that walleye was, waiting for an email reply. Not sure if they actually did too much measuring though because it went back in the lake soon after.

Boot lake holds some rather large walleye also. I have done well on Fourtown all the way to Moosecamp lake.

Went to these lakes last summer in August, had the most productive fishing in the barrel of gun lake fishing for smallies and some walleye but did not see a pike in the 4 days we were there except for one that took my rapala xrap (of course). If you are willing to make the trek up to bear trap lake to the northwest of these I would HIGHLY recommend it. There is only one real campsite up there so you have the whole lake to yourself. One of the guys on our trip caught a 37 inch pike on the first day. There is a HONEY HOLE of walleye on the northwest corner of beartrap. Cast out your deep diving cranks and walleye runners and expect a fish nearly every cast. We caught so many we were throwing back 17-19 inchers because they were "too small." The bass fishing there wasn't great but the walleye was phenomenol even in august.

Would also recommend pike fishing on thunder, nothing huge but went over one evening and caught about 20 all on a white booyah spinner bait

I just got back from a 4 night trip from Gun. It was not very successful, We tried bobber fishing(crawlers and leeches), working the hard breaks with jigs, and trolling. we ended up with three eyes couple dozen bass and one pike. I don't know what I did wrong or if it was the unsteady weather. What should I do next time?

Probably nothing wrong. This time of the year lakes like Gun without any midlake structure (sunken islands etc) and clear water can be tough to fish since they are usually quite deep. I have done best in late Aug on lakes that are slightly more stained, have abundant mid lake structure and with wind as your friend fishing the side the wind blows into of said structure. Think bigger bodies of water also that time of year.
