Our trip was pretty hit or miss. We had 3 boats, usually trying different areas and techniques. The “winning” boat caught 10+ 20-25″ walleyes. Mostly all caught in the Kempton Channel, south of Big Island. 10-14′ of water, either jigging or Lindy Rig. Pretty much just a hook and minnow was the trick.

Northerns and smallies were up around the rocky shores, shouldn’t be too hard to come up with some. Like Wayne said though, it can be a little slow on the US side.

Sean,

We are heading up Thursday and are staying at Big Island, right across from Blueberry Island. Did you try going in the Kempton Channel at all? Have you had any luck before heading more east? I’ve read that the area near Sand Bay Island can be pretty decent. It’s our first time on Rainy as well, so we are looking for some tips!
