We spent last week on Spider lake up next to Winnie, might have been the trip from heck, but even with three days straight of wind/rain/cold weather we managed to hook a 40″ Musky off a yellow and green bright lure, she hit trolling in about 15 fow with the lure down about 7-10 foot.
Also finally found pound plus crappies in about 9-12 fow next to a narrows, they were’nt there during the day but as evening moved in, they started to hit.
Couldn’t buy a walleye, only place we didn’t try much was sunken islands and I’m wondering if they weren’t suspended around them with the miserable weather.
Used mostly jigs and tube baits for crappies and fat bodied bright lures like a DT16 and such for northerns and muskies.
Tried worm harness’s and leeches for the walleye’s also with no luck.
We did mostly trolling as it was easier hiding under the top, not quite so windy and wet.
Both of us had come down with whatever crud is going around now so we ended the trip two days early…and the sun came out…figures..:)
Nice lake, I’d definetly fish there again.
