I have been guiding quite a bit this week this is what I have found.
Muskie are hitting smaller baits in the Eagle River area. Use a small
Mepps, minnow bait, or even a small surface bait. Look for the warmest
water on a lake. That's typically shallow, dark bottom bays, with the wind
blowing into them. Fish two to ten feet of water, in and around emerging
green weeds.
Lots of smaller walleye are being caught in the Eagle River area. Fish two
to six feet of water, in and around fresh green weeds, and cabbage. Use a
jig and an XL fathead. Best action times are afternoon and evening
hours, but the walleye will also hit all day.
Northern in the Eagle River area are hitting anything that's thrown at them,
from live bait to a Husky Jerk - -and most everything else in between. Fish
two to six feet of water in and around new weeds.
Bass anglers are "kicking butt" in the Eagle River area (catch-and-release
only, with barbless hooks required). Spinning gear and small spinner baits
are all that's needed to tie into some fantastic fish, going to 22 inches.
Fish 2 to 6 feet of water around brush and downed logs/timber.
Crappies are putting on a very good bite in the Eagle River area- - and
there are some nice slabs- - 12 to 14 inches - - being caught in good
numbers. Fish 1 to 6 feet of water. Use a small minnow on a jig, or toss a
Road Runner. Plenty of action, and don't worry about suspending fish. Just
toss your bait into and around the green weeds.
Some nice jumbo perch are hitting in the Eagle River area. Fish in the new
weeds right off the bottom in 2 to 6 feet of water, using a fathead (the
perch are right there with the walleyes, and crappies).
Haven't heard much about bluegills in the Eagle River area, except for the
young kid who nailed a 12.5 incher using a crawler.
Good luck to all.
