A fellow that always fished with our gang swore one evening he was out by him self off chimney island one evening and hooked a musky as long as the old metal boats they used to rent at bayview cabins. He never landed it but swore it was true. That was in the 60s Hey Gerrit ask them at Hyyatts about the guy that lost his pole in the narrows in 30 ft. Of water in 1993 and snagged it jigging in 2000.That was me.?

We fished the lake from the early 60s till 2006,in all that time I've heard of a few caught. I caught a small one as did a buddy. Used to catch decent pike 6lb or so on a regular basis,and bass 3-4 lbs. In the 60s the pike were bigger double digits on some. We always stayed at Bayview and in the later years Hiyats. I really like that lake and know it well.would love to go back but the fishing really went down hill in the mid to late 90s. The walleye was decent but nothing over 5 or 6 lbs for us. Lots of eaters, we always went in June and found most our walleye in the weeds in 10 to 12 ft. Of water.

Thankyou all for your reply's, I'll certainly report if indeed we go there.

Hello I was just curious if anyone has fished this lake and if you liked it.

I remember seeing long legged rabbits near northbrook on Gull Lake in the early 70s. Jack rabbits I guess, they still around?

Dad started taking us up to Gul in the early sixties big pike walleye and bass till the late 90,s then it seemed to go bad. Oh yes jumbo perch and big bull bluegills. I think we will try it again early or mid June. Thx for the info.

Hello all, does anyone have any info on the fishing here. Was up in 2006 and the catching was less than poor. Thanks in advance.

I hope things go well for Jen and all of you for that matter.

Ron if I did that I'd probably cut some thing off I need. Bernie I did check for spark and saw none but with the short plug wire and pulling the cord by myself I'm not sure I kept it grounded I'll get my wife to help me next time unless there's a trick to doin it alone. Ironically this describes my luv life also.

I've have a stihl 029 chainsaw that starts right up when you 1st use it but after lets say a half hour of cutting and I turn it off to refuel it wont start back up unless it sits for a long while. I cleaned the air filter,changed the plug and even sprayed starting fluid in the carb and nothing. I gave up on it last night but this morning on the 3rd pull took right off and ran good till I refueled and then the same thing. Any one have an idea what the problem could be. thx

How bout a half ounce lead jig hung up 20 yards out that suddenly dislodges, flies out of the water like a bullet and hits you square between the eyes. That brought me to my knees. Right quick!

I picked up the motor today and it turns out he had to replace the stator and the coil.I.m ready to fish now just $300.00 poorer. Thx to everyone who replied.

I have no complaints about my motor, bought it new in 94 and other than a few carb rebuilds and a loose nut or two it's been a good one.

Electrical was my 1st thought also I'll take it in on monday and I'll let you guys know what they find.

Sinker I put stabil in the gas every time I fill up and I never run the motor out of gas at the end of the season, don't know if thats bad or good but never had any problems before.

Ok I checked the fuel filter it was spotless a little bit of fine stuff in the sediment bowl couldn't see any fuel leaking from any of the lines. Fuel filter was replaced 2 years ago Cliff and I tried the bulb trick Drifter but to no avail,but when it dies it just quits ,doesn't spit and sputter.I poured a couple of gallons of gas out of the tank into a bucket and put some in glass jar to check for water but saw none I assume the water would seperate and be on the bottom. I'm not sure how to tear into a carb so off to the shop I guess.Also the bulb will get hard at times then soften up. thx again all.

The gas is fresh and I got a new tank and hose last fall. The bulb on the hose never did get hard last fall but ran fine.This is my second outing ran well the 1st time, I'll check the fuel lines and such tomorrow . thx

I have a 94 mercury on my boat, I took it out this morning and ran it up the river and about 20 minutes in it died, started right back up and ran about 5 seconds and died again repeated this a couple more times and let it set. About 45 minutes or so later started it up on the second pull ran about a minute and died again repeat for the next 4 hours till I got back to the boat ramp on my trolling motor. Good news is we caught a few nice Walleye and sauger. Any one have a clue to what may be the problem? thx in advance.

Haven't seen him on here for a good while. Just wondering if every thing was ok and big cliff also.

Only issue I have is when I click on a thread and when I go back to general discussion it always goes to the top of the page instead of back to where I clicked on the post and OFC page is slow comming up on my screen.

I jigged 3 inch gulp minnows off and on last year and never got a hit. Even when i was catching fish on real minnows I would put one on, no luck.

K thx. you guys, think I'll stick to real worms.

Any one ever try them with a worm harness? Thx.

I don't know how to post any pics or vids but did any of you ever listen to Alice Cooper? I did as a kid and under my wheels,dead babies and the ballad of dwight fry also I'm 18 and many more I can't think of at the moment.

good luck !
