THE NORTHERN FISHING THIS YEAR SO FAR HAS BEEN THE BEST WE’VE SEEN IN OUR 13YEARS. THE OWEN/SESSEMEN GROUP CAUGHT DOZENS OF FISH OVER 30″ WITH MANY PUSHING 40″. WHAT THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE IS THE WEIGHT OF THE FISH. THEY ARE HUGE ACROSS THE BACK AND BIG BELLIES. YESTERDAY I GUIDED JOHN KRUKAR AFTER DINNER AND WE CAUGHT 2 40″ NORTHERN AT THE SAME TIME. HUGE FISH! JOHN ALSO GOT THE HEAVIEST 33″ THAT IVE EVER SEEN. THE CRAZY THING IS ALL WERE CAUGHT ON AN 1/8 oz JIG AND LEECH with 6# LINE. TROUT HAVE BEEN MIGRATING TOWARDS THEIR SUMMER AREAS AND THE USUAL SLOTS AND POINTS ARE PRODUCING. STILL GETTING THEM WAY HIGH TOO AS WE’RE TROLLING RAPALAS AND OTHER CRANKS. SOME BIG WALLEYE HAVE BEEN CAUGHT ON THE MAIN LAKE BETWEEN 25″- 29″ BUT NOT MANY. PORTAGE LAKES HAVENT BEEN USED MUCH SINCE THE FISHING HAS BEEN SO GOOD ON THE MAIN LAKE. SOME GUYS ARE GOING TO BEAR TRAP TODAY SO WE’LL SEE. OVERALL THE WATER LEVEL IS PERFECT AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN PRETTY GOOD. BUGS ARENT TOO BAD BUT THATS STILL COMING IM AFRAID. TICKS ARE OUT, IF YOU GO TO A PORTAGE THERE IS ZERO CHANCE U WONT HAVE SOME ON U. I BRING IT UP CUZ A GUY WENT IN THE OTHER DAY AND ABOUT LOST HIS MIND THAT HE HAD A COUPLE ON HIM. IF YOU FIND ONE ON YOU KILL IT AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE, HARDLY A BIG DEAL.
I WISH I HAD TIME TO GO NORTHERN FISHING
