I was thinking of going to Chaumont Bay fishing couple of days.... How is it getting on the bay ? Is there a lot of slush? Will I get the snowmobile & shantie stuck? Thanks guys.
Does anyone actually catch walleyes in the bay or is it like finding Bigfoot? I understand it is a quality over quantity game on the big water, but not a single person reported a walleye.....
Any idea on if a quad can make it from the main launch to Herrick? Heading up Friday
I do stop at the hardware store and usually they are good with the info, but last week the guy giving out bait was a little light with anything in particular. Just “could be anywhere”, hard to say what they are biting” and so on. All true of course. He did give a generous scoop of minnows though. First time I went in there the guy pulled out a map and marked a couple of spots on it and was very helpful. We did very well that day!
Yes we were there for the last 3 days. Very passable with no issues. A few snow drifts here and there 12 to 15 inches. The bite on Herrick was not there for us. A few sniffers was all . Good luck!!
I had the same experience as Otto. I still have the map he gave me the first time but kind of short on dialogue since then. You probably get tired of the same questions but I really appreciated it when I got it.
Awesome, thanks buddy. Hopefully we can find em
It has not changed ownership. Greg is always helpful if you ask him questions. Sometimes since he’s not out there he might just not know where the best spot is. Fishings been slow on the whole bay this year kind of hard to point people in a direction.
I am heading up there this weekend to do some perch fishing in my usual spot but if the bite isn’t happening I want to switch over to walleyes. What size leader do you guys use up there? I have 17# fluoro and wondering if that’s too heavy? The next size down is 12# but worried if I hook a lifetime fish it won’t hold up. Would love some experienced input, thanks.
