~ GRAND RAPIDS AREA FISHING REPORT ~ LIVE Fishing Reports from the HLO Crew via Twitter Tweets by @HangLooseOD ( August 9, 2023 ) Lake Winnibigoshish, Cass Lake, and Mille Lacs are providing anglers with the most consistent walleye action right now. Many area lakes like Pokegama and Trout are kicking out some big walleyes as of late. Walleyes are relating to shoreline weeds, rock piles, and the shallower mid lake structures on most bodies of water. Spinners with bottom bouncers tipped with a night crawler and pulled 1.0-1.2 mph is the best walleye presentation right now. If the fish are stuck in the heavy weeds, switch the sinker on your spinner rig to an 1/8 or 1/16 ounce and pull them over the top of the weeds. For the more finicky fish or in the evening hours, a leech under a bobber has been working very well too. Don't forget about rigging minnows this time of the year either. Big minnows pulled slow along the weed lines or on deeper structures is a great big fish program. Panfish are hanging in the weeds or on the deep cabbage edges and are super active in the evening hours. A small jig and twister tail should entice the crappies. Bluegills have wanted live bait under a bobber. If you are looking for a guided open water fishing trip in 2023 please call us today at 218-259-5447 or 218-256-0916.
