Fresh Buzz Bite Report

Let’s start with the Fresh Buzz Bite Report from Captain Jared Houston. He shares some valuable insights on panfishing and trolling techniques. Using small jigs and drop TGs, Captain Jared Houston recommends targeting coho, lake trout, and brown trout in Duluth and the North Shore. He also mentions that stream fishing is going well, with anglers swinging flies and catching fish. Additionally, he mentions that walleye fishing is picking up and advises anglers to have tight lines and a great day on the water.

Leech Lake Opener Tips

Next, we have Jeff Anderson sharing his tips for the Leech Lake opener. He suggests focusing on shallow water walleye and paying attention to wind direction and water temperature. Jeff’s two main presentations for the opener are a small jig with a spot tail shiner or rainbow chub and a clam drop TG with a twist tail plastic. He explains that the eighth ounce jig allows for longer casts and a snappy retrieve, while the clam drop TG is ideal for aggressive thick weeds. Jeff also mentions that this year there will be more weeds due to an early ice-out and rising water temperatures.

Lake Vermilion Opener Strategies

Moving on to Lake Vermilion, Billy Rosner shares his strategies for the opener. He plans to start fishing in shallow water, around 8 to 12 feet, and if he doesn’t find anything, he will move out to the first break, around 15 to 20 feet. Billy recommends using a VMC Moon Eye Jig with a three-inch rainbow minnow and also suggests throwing some plastics in shallow water. For deeper water, he suggests pulling Lindy Rigs with live bait, using bigger minnows like creek chubs or sucker minnows to target larger walleye. Billy also mentions the deep water bite in the 25 to 35 foot range, where 13 to 15 inch males tend to stack up.

Sturgeon Bay Walleye Fishing Tips

Dale Stroshine takes us to Sturgeon Bay and shares his tips for walleye fishing. He recommends heading to the mouth of the Fox River for some great walleye fishing. The best depths to target are between 5 and 15 feet of water. Trolling with flicker shads and flicker minnows is a highly effective technique in this area. If you’re fishing in the Sturgeon Bay area, Dale suggests staying in the 8 to 12 foot range for trolling. Jigging is another great technique, especially during the day when there’s a chop on the water. Any jig with plastic or hair, as well as lipless baits, can work well for jigging walleye in Sturgeon Bay.
