Michael_Brown Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I have been getting reports from anglers fishing the festival over the last couple of days that the walleye bite is dynamite right now. The rainy start to the week slowed the action but the last couple of days have turned the fish on and I have heard of 50-70 fish days for several groups. Get your button, grab your rod and get out on Rice Lake. Sounds like everything is pointing to a great long weekend. If your in the area don't forget the family fishing day tomorrow May 21 from 10-4 at Golden Beach Resort. Family fun and smiles available to everyone.

adempsey Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Good to hear! It was pretty decent last year and was wondering what it would be like this season. Hopefully I can get out and catch some of the action! Cheers. I have been getting reports from anglers fishing the festival over the last couple of days that the walleye bite is dynamite right now.

targaboy175 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 hey michael, what kind of technique and lure u guys use for walley in the middle of the lake ?? i'm new to this thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_Brown Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) Try a 3/8 ounce black bucktail jig around deep weed edges in 8-12 feet of water. You will also catch fish on crankbaits cast along the edges as well but the jig is usually a more consistent bait. BJ Tackle in Bewdley has festival buttons, so if you catch a tagged prize fish you will win a great prize. Button purchase also enters you into the festival draws at the end of the event. Good Luck.

Hooked Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Great to hear! Now I hope the bite is still incredible between July 23rd and August 6th! No need to say where I'll be during that time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
