Little Bay de Noc Fishing Reports

Well, your first mistake was talking to Kevin !!! I wouldn't trust anyone who drinks Hamms beer And eats Burbot on a regular basis!!! LOL!!!

For walleyes the best bet IMO is your Rap style lures in size 5,7,9. Glow tigers are prefered in green,red,perch. Others work too, but the glow lures seem to have an advantage during low light.
Sweedish pimples are my go to for attracting fish. Pimp and a 2 inch minnow and raps naked or tipped with a minnow head are pretty standard walleye fare on the bay. Kevin and Ken have lures they make that I love too. Rattle spoons work also tipped with minnows.

Actions used go from no movement at all to grip it and rip it. Once your marking fish, you'll have to try different methods to see what they want that day. Tip-ups with suckers from 2 ft to 8 ft off bottom is also standard fare. Sucker size depends on what your after. Kevin can help with that.

Electronics.........Vex, Marcum and such or cameras are a must.

Travel on the lake is great right now , but can change as far as snow depth. Trucks, wheelers, sleds, air boats, side bys, argos......all work.

Good portable shack and heaters are a must, unless your renting shacks.

Oh............lots of beer and Kesslers too!!!

Talk to Ol' Kevin (aka) Burbot Breath, and he'll giva ya more details. If ya really want to know where and how to fish up here, you'll have to talk to his wife Theresa!!!

Hope this helps some!!!

Slammer!!!

Well fyi even though Slammer is a moldy cheese lovin bass ackwards Mr.Rodgers lovin Packer Puke, his info has merit.  He may have no taste in football teams but these boys wont steer ya wrong fishing the bay.. Good people who like to be as helpful as possible so u enjoy your stay and come back to Gods country.. We all jest on the site but it all in good fun.. May I only add u can go big on raps and suckers and have good success... Tight lines.  

P.S.  the Pukers are already complaining bout the cold game this Sunday.. I say suck it up buttercup or put a roof on like a real team has.  Lol

Ahhhh. You got tough skin Slammer.  You have to with wind like it is out now.  Wow I was just getting crap together for a morning run out on Green Bay and that wind has gotta be 30mph... Gunna be fun.  

I just love all the respect I get around here. That said, anyone besides Tom catching any Burbot??? Inquiring minds (like mine) want to know!!! Anyway, if you do and don't want them, feel free to drop them off at the store anytime...

Ice should not be an issue northof Gladstone.  At least a good foot. (Havent been recently but it been damn cold) from what I hear Eye spotty ,,perch fair. It fishing that can easily change.  Good luck.      Schmutz

Hi all.  I just joined the website.  My son and I are also making the trip up there this weekend.  We plan to just fish Saturday night and Sunday morning as this is our first try fishing LBDN. 

While we'd not be disappointed in icing a 12 lb walleye, we'd rather have more action with smaller fish.  I've done some research on various sites and have a couple places picked out to try.  Is there an area in LBDN that produces smaller, eater sized fish or is it all about the same?
