Long Lake New auburn wi

Any quick repos from there?

A buddy of mine was absolutley hammering the walleye out there 1.5 weeks ago at night, he has moved onto LCO and Grindstone now and is catching 75 a night between 15-24″. I don’t know were on the lakes though. That’s the latest I can give you.

wow, those are impressive numbers. Do you know what his tactics were/are?

thanks

Throwing cranks mostly, the guy eats, sleeps and lives to fish. He is a machine and has been fishing these waters for years so he knows many of the prime locations well along with the proper tactics. He told me tonight he will bring leeches with the weather front for this weekend. I should really go with him one of these times but I have a job, a wife and a family and my fishing this time of year revloves around trips north of the border. So there you have it….

We are going to try live bait also. Friday appears to be real wet. Really hoping for some big CPR smallies and a few wallys to eat

SteveO:

Same latitude and I had 15 fish in two hours last night on lakes similar to what he is fishing and I was throwing cranks in from 10′ on winded rock shorelines/bars. I may have had better numbers except for the guy anchored at the end of my drift and who moved into my drift to reanchor, so I had to accommodate him. My fish were 4 over 18″ to 21″ and the rest were 14″ and above. I used no live bait last night. If I were not chasing smallies to the bewitching hour, I would be corking some sandgrass bars with some form of live bait. I am carrying both leeches and crawlers right now and seriously believe that minnows (as minnow cranks are working) would work still with water temps at 62*-64*. I just hate trying to keep minnows alive.

Smallies were still shallow, though last nights wind made it hard to see who was what. A couple blind casting, a couple of beds, largest 18″ fish that could have been female that had dropped eggs or just a toad male…
