Gull lake (near Northbrook) 2nd week in September

[tomO]

looks like we will be up there September 7th or 8th for a week. I was wondering what lures may be best to try. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Walleye and Bass will be what we are fishing for.

Where are you staying? I've fished there a fair bit. Good walleye lake, but I never target bass. Theres also pike in there. 

I mainly troll for walleyes. Mostly in the evening into the night. We do well with taildancers, husky jerks, and scatter raps. Basically anything that runs 12-15ft, and trolling over deep water.  Jigging is good too. Lots of structure, shoals, and islands, so I find trolling more effective for locating fish, then jig those areas.  I mainly fish the east end. 

 

Good luck, you will love it up there. Beauty country!

We usually stay at Hyatts Glennhaven on the shallow end of the lake. We have never been up there this time of the year. Do you jig a lead head with a twister tail?

I've never been down that way. We are at the very far east end in coxvale. I prefer to troll. I don't jig much,and when I do its because trolling isn't working, and I use a jig and minnow.  I don't know that end of th alke at all.

It's  shallow mostly and alot of weeds. We fish all over the lake,normally in June.

We get most of our walleyes now suspended over deep water, so jigging doesn't work too well. I was up the first weekend of august for one day, and we got 3 beauty walleye trolling the evening into night with a husky Jerk scatter rap #10. They work well. The deep husky jerks, and tail dancers are also good choices.  Might be different at your end of the lake, as is shallow, but our end is deep, so they suspend in the thermocline.
