~ GRAND RAPIDS AREA FISHING REPORT ~ LIVE Fishing Reports from the HLO Crew via Twitter Tweets by @HangLooseOD ( August 6, 2018 ) Grand Rapids, MN Weather Forecast As we welcome in August let us focus on another good month of fishing. Last year August provided us with awesome walleye fishing. Will it be as good this year as it was last year? It's tough to make predictions because walleyes are inconsistent in every way. One thing we can say is the first few days of August have been thumbs up. This month can be some of the best fishing of the year. We still have plenty of guide trip openings available throughout the summer and a large staff to accommodate large group outings. Spinner rigs tipped with half a night crawler and pulled 1.0 mph has really provided good action this week and will hold for a lot of the summer now. Crawlers on slow death presentations have put some fish in the net. Leeches on slip bobbers and crankbaits in the evening hours have caught some really nice walleyes as of late too. If you are having trouble catching walleyes right now, here is a little tip: Increase your speed (1.0-1.5mph) and fish fast. Don't stay in one spot too long and utilize those electronics to find walleyes. The northern pike bite is pretty darn good right now too along the weeds and out on the deep rock bars. Got to love you some pike fights. We have been pulling big minnows on lindy rigs and having a blast. The crappie bite has also been solid in the weeds.
