[skdds]

HI Guys,

 

Likely heading up to Pointe au Baril next week..walleye and pike. Anybody fished there at this time of year? Any suggestions tackle wise. I've been there before, but in June, and had success with crawler harnesses, no pike though...

 

Thanks skdds

Had some success with pike up there hitting Rapala husky jerks...a lot of guests commented on catching with these. Water temperature was the key factor in terms of where to fish and how fast to retrieve. If it's under 70F then head for the shallow bays and look for weeds. If it's over 70F then stay in water between 6 and 10 feet deep. For pickeral, did ok with jigs and twister tails...cast them out in the river and let them sink to bottom before reeling them in slowly. May not be a pro tip, but it worked for me. Good luck.

That will all depend on were he is gonna fish if he goes on Georgian Bay that is zone 14 and open all year.

If he goes into the smaller lakes around there he is in zone 15, Were it opens on the 3rd sat of may

Hey skdds I am not trying to hijack your post, but I will be up there next weekend, with the early spring/warm temps not sure where to fish, let us know how you do, and water temps please. Good luck, and leave some pike and walleye for me;)
