2/24/19 Fishing Report

Here’s your latest fishing report from Rocky Point guide Cole Buley on Lake of the Woods.

The bite has been good. We’re seeing more fish in the morning and evening. As we get closer to March, the oxygen levels should start rising to make for a better bite and less lethargic fish. Our houses are anywhere from 27′-32′ of water. From the reefs to rock and the flats, we are on the move chasing fish. Pink and red are still working good for colors. Gold and silver are always a go-to on Lake of the Woods as well. Smaller jigs like crappie and panfish lures are working best on the dead stick. On the jigging rod, try something that rattles. Most fish are coming to the rattle and heading over to the dead stick.

The Long group had some great luck during their visit, catching a nice mixed bag. The photos below are some of the highlights.
