The fishing (catching) has been good. It took a while for things to get cooking, but things are looking up. The walleyes, bass and pike are being found in the weeds. We are also finding some walleyes and pike on the mid-lake structure. My wife, dad and I fished in the annual Camp Confidence fishing classic on Saturday and it was a great day. Shelley caught the lunker walleye of the tournament, a 26 inch 5lb 5 ouncer. Most of the anglers new it right when it was landed, she let out quite the squeal (so did I). We also caught a 25 inch pike and a small bass so we weighed as a mixed bag and placed 3rd overall. If you are looking for a guided trip, this might be the time to do so. The weather report is calling for some warm air, this will really get the fish going. Mille Lacs has been going pretty good on the flats and we also had a good smallmouth trip the other day. Leech Lake is still producing quite well and I think we will be taking the Cornhusker crew up there later this week. If you are interested in a guided trip, please call Shelley at 218-839-5598 and tell her you found the number right here at Brainerd.com.
Take care,

We are finally getting some much needed rain here in the lakes area. Plus a day to catch up on the honey do list. We have been primarily chasing walleyes thus far and the results have been decent enough to keep on chasing them. I wouldn't say it is on fire here but Gull Lake has produced a few nice catches. We have also had some outstanding days on Leech and Mille Lacs. The live bait bite has been our go to set up and the baits have varied. This time of the year you need to go prepared. I always like to start the day with the boat well stocked with a few minnows such as redtail chubs or shiners. Plus during the month of June I like to bring a few leeches and nightcrawlers. So far we have done best with a Roach rig or a stand up fire-ball jig. Most of our best luck has been in the shallower water like 8-14 feet but I have talked to guys that have had good luck out to about 30 feet. Many anglers are still chasing a few crappies and bluegills. From what I have heard it is a little spotty, but with some searching you can have a really good day. There are still quite a few panfish hanging out in the shallows. I like the Northland Fire-fly jigs under a bobber. Pike action has been a bit quiet yet but should get much better as the water warms up. And the bass fishing has been outstanding everywhere. Now that the kids are out of school for the summer don't forget to bring them to the lake. It is something that they will never forget.
