Blackstrap

[Malayney11]

tried the strap last night, we set up at evens road but with the wind and the rain we only lasted for about 45 min, brought in one small perch in that time, almost impossible to bring a hook in without weeds in that area as well.

does anyone have a report for the strap? have not been out for a few weeks and wondering if its worth trying?

Straps been very good. but you need a boat. And before you ask, they are biting pretty much everywhere.

What kind of tackle/bait are you nailing all the fish with Engineman? Pike and walleye both biting right now?

[Malayney11]

went out tonight, fished from shore on the south end, got 2 small perch, a small pike, and a nice walleye in the 2-3lb range, however the walleye had some sort of weird worm/parasite things attached to its belly, about 6-8 of them, not sure what they were. Has anyone else came across this? also got checked by the CO's this evening as well

Made it out for the first time this year tonight, got one whitefish 3.1 lbs, only bite of the night, was out for about 3 hours
