We had good fishing there when we brought the kids along. It was also a great area for other reasons... which kept the kids entertained. |

If you can get a campsite with western exposure and a 5-10 foot hole off of rocks, you guys should clean up (I say western because of the predominant wind, but play the weather). If not, just look for any wind blown point with rocks and deep water near by. Brule has a notorious evening bite; it is like clock work. Start out fishing deeper in the evening, but the fish will move into the shallows as the light fades. Do it backwards in the AM; that bite can be just as good... but doesn't seem to be as consistent. The current breaks between islands are also good spots to set up shop in the evening. I usually use slip bobbers and a bright colored 1/8th oz. jig with a leech. However, if the fish are being finicky, try a red hook with a small split shot. During the day, those same fish will be in 15-25 FOW. Try to find some humps and anchor up between them... or again, deeper water between islands. You can still use slip bobbers or jig them; just depends on the kids' comfort level. You can also troll shad raps, walleye divers, or reef runners in the afternoon. Come from deep water into the points; that's a good way to find bigger fish. Be careful though; it's easy to get too shallow and find some boulders. Hope that helps, good luck! |
