Crappie anglers are doing really well when making long drifts in the
deep water depths of Chetek chain of lakes. Crappie angler's
drifting and vertical jigging their favorite crappie killers or jigs as
they are referred to now days. Tipping your jig with a waxie or minnow
will help entice more bites.
Bluegill anglers are also finding some rather good fishing on these hot
weather days, while drifting with a hook and bobber set up in 10-14 ft.
of water. Set your bobber so your hook is a foot to a foot and a
half from the bottom. Waxies, earthworms or pieces of night crawler
dangled from your hook should do the trick in triggering some dandy size
bluegills into biting and they will hit it and swallow it right away.
So always be ready to set the hook quickly
.
Bass fishermen are finding some good action while fishing with scum
frogs an rats along the surface on these hot days while working the bays
and back waters, where duck weed is in abundance. Again here,
always be alert and ready for a strike at anytime, the big ones will only
give you one chance.
Northern pike fishermen have been catching a good number of pike when
fishing the shallow flats in the mid morning hours and early afternoon
hours of the day. Chartreuse spinner baits and fire tiger colored
rapalas and husky jerk baits seem to work well in triggering the pike to
hit. Daredevils and Johnson silver minnows fished with a trailer
dangling from the hook, can also trigger some very strong strikes. Never
let your guard down when fishing pike. They will hit your bait near or far
from the boat. They are known to hit so close to the boat you would
swear they were right underneath you an they will scare the { } out
of you.
Walleyes are being caught in the early morning and early evening
hours of the day when fishing under water gravel rock bars and rock
bar points. Live bait rigs seem to be the way to catch them, some
anglers are fishing them with a taught line and others are using
bobber set ups of their choice. Night crawlers on a harness or a leech
worked with a Lindy rig set up will help you get your bait down into the
deeper depths
.
Good luck to all anglers and always keep your rod tip up. AND
PLEASE, DON'T LITTER .
