I like Fireline with a 30-50 lb seagar leader for pike, Just look for fraying and replace as needed. Buy a spool and make your own.

Badger Shark I like to fish the back side of 3 sisters also, it can be a good spot. That was a good Idea anchoring to land the wind was tough that day so i stayed down lake and fished one of my humps, would only stay anchored for 10 min and then a big gust would dislodge the anchor. i don't fish the...

Thanks , Thats why I like this lake, the slot is a great way to be able to catch larger fish that would be harvested in other lakes. these are the spawning stock that keeps the lake alive. I feel if you want to eat a few theres nothing better the a few 16-17" walleye, they taste much better tha...

I go every year 2nd week of Sept and the water is in the low 60's to high 50's and trolling is still a good choice, as the water cools trolling drops off and jigging will be better. It is a great time to fish and water temps should still be in the 50's look for deep water humps and shelfs going in t...

on crotch lake live bait works best , minnow first then worms for me. the key is to fish structure so a good fish finder is a must,But learn to use it with OUT the fish ID. It works better when you learn to read the fish arc's you will see them over and around the bottm structure. Trolling is really...

The left side of Col. Island out about 300 yrds has a few humps in the deep water that come up to 18' this is a good area to jig as well as 3 sisters and gull rock. the narrows can be good at times and is worth a try, these are all good walleye spots as well as any humps in deep water when the water...
