Choices - Gores Landing or BoQ (Shore Fishing)

[codegreen]

So, were heading out this Sat for some shore fishing but we can't decide if we should hit Gores Landing pier on Rice Lake or head to BoQ and find someplace to shore fish there (sucks not having a boat )

 

In the last few weeks we've tried Balsam Lake near Kirkfield but have had no luck with walleye from the shore...getting kind of frustrated but thems be the breaks right?

 

If anyone has any insight as to picking Gores Landing or BoQ might be better shore fishing for walleye it would be greatly appreciated, or any areas for actual shore fishing on the BoQ for that matter, feel free to send me a PM.

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't know of any specific shore spots at either of those places, but to better your odds you should be going out at dusk and fish into the night. Don't give up...fishing with a lighted float and a minnow at night increases your chances as the walleye wont be anywhere near the shoreline during the day...they will come to the shallows to feed after dark though. Good luck!

wait for colder weather for shore walleye fishing and use a suspending lure and work it slowing at night time. if you fish at Gores landing, your best bet is when the north wind is blowing. Most of the walleye you will catch will be over the zone 17 slot limit in the fall, so if you are planning to keep the fish, go to BOQ based on the same method.
