06/19/2021 06:12PM So your only portage is at Prairie Portage? When camped and out fishing, how close do you have to stay to the motor routes? I am eager to hear all about you trip when you are back... planning ahead. |

06/18/2021 08:12AM Hatch could be ending. I saw no mayflies on Wood Lake yesterday. Also no walleyes. Leaving Fall Lake Tuesday, so will miss your trip start. Coulda helped you load at landing and across first portage |

06/18/2021 12:01AM I read where bobber #3 said the mayflies started on Shagawa bout a week ago. Last year about this time had an epic day with smallmouth in a shallow bay during the hatch on Basswood |

06/17/2021 11:34PM How do you think the full moon on the 24th will effect fishing? My belief is, it would be a good time for some shallow crank baits around the reefs. Would love to hit up past dark , but probably not the best thing in my situation.. But definitely sitting in boat on shore with lighted slip bobbers. |

06/17/2021 09:00PM Buddy just canceled on me. Gotta have a hernia surgery on July 8. Boo hoo... I get a knee replacement on July 7th. I'm still going. Gonna be harder, but slow and easy. Probably not gonna stay as long. Hopefully can grab a handicap campsite. Lol. Several questions... 1. How's the fishing on the Prairie side of Basswood? Lol... that's a no brainer. 2. I've been to many sites I would love to snag. Going to try a few Blutofish has reviewed in Frog bay. Shooting for Lincoln or Washington islands. 3. Gonna use my Yeti with locks. 4. Big question... Can I grab a couple bundles of wood in town, put them in my boat and go into Basswood? I know. I know. I'm gonna use a cane and not gonna scrounge for firewood. I know there might be a ban on by then. 5. I know I'm capable and I gotta go. Been looking forward to this too long. Thoughts? Just can't give up an overnight motor Basswood permit without a fight. |
