PikeEatPike: "We fished that area for years, gave up on it because it just got to busy. But if I were to go and bring live bait, leeches. Easy to keep alive and the fish eat them. Have used Berkley Gulp too. Use hand tied Little Joe style spinners with and 1/8 oz. bullet weight in front, troll the shallows near rocky shores. Small boulders and rock shores seem to be the best. Fishing was was good on the east south east side of Agnes.I know where you are! |

The Boulder River leading into Boulder Bay/LLC is always good in the spring, walleye, smallies, and some nice crappie if you can find them. The mouth area is productive, as is the shore coming out of the river into Boulder Bay on the East side. Goes from sand to pebble to rock. Always a nice northern or two in there too. Good Luck |

1. 1/8 - 3/16 oz round jig with a 3" white PowerGrub on it. It will literally catch everything (big and small) and is cheap enough that if you lose a few to some snags or pike you won't cry. Can be vertical jigged for walleyes or thrown at the shore and retreived for smallmouth and pike. I usually buy the Cabelas 25 pack of unpainted barbed collar jig heads. I'm considering switching to the VMC ones due to the nicer hooks, but will wait until I run out of the current inventory. Jig Heads 3" White Power Bait Power Grub 2. Mepps Dressed Agila - I've done really well with these in early June for both Smallmouth and Pike in shallower bays. Size 5 which I believe is around 1/2 oz. I usually throw them with a 12" 30lb titanum leader. Mepps Agila 12" Titanium Leader 3. A Black and Gold Rapala Husky Jerk or jointed minnow is always a great option for trolling rock piles and ledges. 4. I like topwater spooks and ploppers in the morning and evening for smallmouth. 5. Red eye spoons are also great for covering water. Good luck! |

TIP: Get an early start, Agnes can get very windy and difficult to traverse! |

I've had good smallmouth bass fishing on Oyster. The Oyster river can be canoed early in the spring if you are prepared to pull over beaver dams. |
