With great weather, and more to come, our guests have been enjoying nets full of fish.  The Walleye anglers have been bringing them in from just in front of the resort.  Located on Pine Point of Leech Lake, you don’t have to burn a lot of fuel getting to the fishing hot spots.  Other spots close by producing Walleye are the Grand Vu Flats, north and south of Goose Island and the west side of Trader’s Bay.  Boats are mostly drifting in about 11 feet of water while angling with a jig and minnow.  Fatheads have been working although we are now seeing more rainbows and red tails.  Fish have been plentiful and about half of them in the slot limit, 18″ to 26″.  A bag limit of four, one able to be over 26″.

Jumbo Perch have been 9″ to a couple of 13 inchers in our customer’s live wells.  Mostly found in the Walker Narrows and Sucker Bay, fish for the Perch during the day and catch a couple of Walleye on the way home.

Don’t forget we are open year round with excellent ice fishing.  Heated ice houses (non sleepers) are out in early January in the Grand Vu Flats close to Goose Island.  Roads are plowed for easy access and we will even go out to the ice houses and warm them up and auger the holes for you each morning.  Nothing better that having free fish cleaning in the winter.

This week we have had large groups fishing for a variety of species.  Fishing pressure on the lake has relaxed with fewer boats on the water.  Enjoy the clear crisp late summer weather and the solitude of the up north.  We are centrally located on Pine Point of Leech Lake, making it easy to get around the large lake with out burning a lot of gas.  Looking forward to your visit - Steve Krogen, owner.

• Walleye - Over two dozen keepers in one day coming in from Agency Bay.  Our guests only had to throw back a few that were in the slot limit (18″ to 26″, four bag limit one allowed over 26″).  If you want to go for the trophy walleye to catch and release the Meadows and Hardwoods is the place to be.  Guests are fishing with jigs and fatheads in about 10 to 15 feet of water.
• Jumbo Perch - if you have been waiting all year to come up and hit the jumbo perch now is the time.  This week we have groups bringing in their daily limit (20 in possession) and keeping only the 10 inch plus size perch.
• Northern Pike - Guests are finding northern in the shallows of the Walker Narrows and Sucker Bay brining in 25 - 29 inch, 4.5 to 7 ponders.  That’s a fun fight landing large northern in the boat.
• Muskie - Guests are starting to get ready for the tournament September 4 - 7 on Leech Lake.  We still have a couple cabins open.  Sucker and Portage Bays have produced a couple of 50″ for our seasonal guests, although mostly follows have been seen.  Still waiting for it to break wide open.

Walleye   This past week the walleye bite has still been strong, evenings have been consistantly great.  Most of the fish being brought in are caught on leeches and a jig anchored in about 11 feet of water right off Pine Point.  I’ve also seen quite a few caught on shad raps.

Northern I’ve cleaned quite a few northern the last couple days most 4-5 Lbs.  We carry chubs in the bait shop for those big northern.

We have had guests all week and they have been catching ‘em out on the water.  Fishing Pine Point, staying close to the resort in stronger winds in about 8′ of water.  The latest bait presentation, a Lindy Rig with a leech or shiner while drifting on the west side of Goose Island, Big Hardwoods and Pine Point has been producing the walleyes. 

About 50% are keepers, and the guests are getting their bag limit, 4 walleye a day.  Good eating! 

Check out our June Specials on our specials post.

Adventure North Resort is located on Pine Point of Leech Lake, Walker Minnesota.  The traditional spring and fall walleye fishing hot spot, Pine Point offers plenty of structure for the Walleyes.  Guests have been fishing in about 8′ to 9′ of water, drifting with a jig and a Shiner.  May of the fish caught have been trophy size off Pine Point, great for thrilling catch and release.  For the smaller fish, up to 18″ our guests have been fishing north of Goose Island, the Hardwoods and Star Points.  All within a short boat ride away.
