WEEK 12 WRAP-UP!

Good afternoon Rocky Shore Lodge week 12 blog.  Another beautiful week at RSL minus the last day of the week.  LOL.  It rained all day Thursday albeit a light rain it was constant.  Didn’t stop the P2 crew from going out and limiting out on walleyes the first half hour needing ten more to finish up.

The Original Rich award was delivered to Steve for almost sinking the blue boat, and letting it get away from him as he was dropping it in the water.  No damage except for pride.  He put himself on report, so we didn’t have to.  Boat Plugs work better when they are inserted into the hole in the boat.

Walleye bite saw crawlers, leeches, and minnows working.  Walleyes were short striking a lot of bait this week.  Brian from P2 told me he would have had a lot more fish if they would just stop short striking.  It was common amongst some of our better anglers, that’s for sure.  The usual August walleye spots were typical, and cloud cover really brought on the bite.  If the clouds went away guys would watch the walleyes sink into deeper water and get tight lipped.  Always interesting to listen to the guys with electronics spin their tales of the one that almost bit and yadda yadda yadda.  Mike from P2 did well on jigging raps but also admitted to losing quite a few because the strike was never expected.

Not too many muskies this week as there just wasn’t much musky fishing going on.  If I get a few pictures I will edit the blog for everyone.

Some nice perch and bass were brought in again.      

Week 12 MFT results:

Brendan from C-4 captured the micro fish prize with a 6-Inch Smallmouth bass.

Bo from C-1 boated and released a slot 32-Inch Pike to claim the prize.

Mitchell from P2 boated and released a 24-Inch Walleye to claim the Walleye prize!

All very nice fish! Great day for a tournament!

Well folks I’m trying to keep this brief and on Saturday.  As I get more photos I will update the blog like I mentioned earlier!

Don’t forget to send pictures!

Tight Lines everyone!

WEEK 11 WRAP-UP!

Good afternoon Rocky Shore Lodge week 11 blog.  With bear season taking up a lot of time I realize this blog is later than normal.  Super busy week with a lot of private boats!   I’m still not sure how we accommodated them all, but we shoehorned 12 private boats on the docks.

The hottest week of the year without a doubt, and the sun was blazing most of the week.  It’s cooled back down now to near normal temps thank goodness.  I know I shouldn’t complain about the 80 plus temps knowing everyone up that week was escaping the 90’s and some 100’s but were not acclimated up here to those temps.

Charlie and the Penthouse 2 crew finished a very nice spacious and new shore lunch site on Little Hatfield Island.  Their contribution to the lake and as he said those prior shore lunch spots didn’t build themselves and someone took the time to build them.  Last year they rehabbed the shore lunch spot near Cedar Island also.   

Walleyes were biting better in the morning and evening as the big ball in the sky was bright.  Frank and his two friends I’ll call them J n J since I still can’t remember their names caught over 600 walleyes for the week.  Although the bite slowed down during the day patience paid off and anglers were rewarded.  Water temps approached 75.  We had some beautiful 29’s again this week.

Muskies were boated often this week as there were several boats targeting them and they were all watching the lunar tables to ensure they were casting during peak periods. 

Perch and bass were caught in the heat of the summer and lots were taken across the border for family fish fries!

If you are interested at all in a one day flyout we do offer them through Clarks. Perry and the P1 gang went out and boated and released over 150 walleyes on Monday.

Week 11 Monster Fish Tournament results:

Good morning everyone and photos have been received so let's get to it!

Aiden from C-5 pulled in a 4.75-Inch Small mouth bass which I believe might be the smallest micro of the year.
