A bunch of guys' that I work with had our annual trip to Winnie/Cutfoot today. I'd say we had 12-15 guys show up and had enough fish for a fish fry at GDP afterwards and some "to go" boxes as well. The best one boat did was all in Big Cutfoot, they had 3 guys in the boat and kept 13 'eyes. Our boat with 3 guys had 6 in the box with probably 15 slot fish, biggest being my 24". No real one productive area, just one here one there today. 11-14 fow seemed the best, when the wind laid down, so did the fish. One slot fish from the Gap area came in shooting eggs all over the place! Parrot colored jigs 1/8 or 1/4 oz and a shiner was the ticket. It was my first day out and man did it feel good!!! Also got a little sunburned face to boot!
Hitting Bowtring tomorrow.

Did well for numbers but box fish were hard to come by. Caught a dozen fish and kept 3. Not bad for middle of the day. Fish seemed to relate to 9-11 fow. I couldn't believe we were one of the only boats by the gap crazy

We fished Stoney, Mallard, Raven, and Sugar on Saturday from 10am-7pm. Caught 35 and kept 10. Where we found stained water the temp was a little higher and that's where the fish were. Without a doubt, it was the windiest conditions I have ever fished.

Fished Winnie this weekend (Friday afternoon-Sun morning). Didn't get to fish as many hours as we normally would due to Weather/family camping restrictions but all in all not too bad. I was expecting a more action based on reports but thats why its called fishing. Caught 38 walleyes for the weekend and we did not have problems finding eaters ( probably half). Kept enough for a fish fry on Sat. The perch kept things interesting though. Fished Highbanks, outside the Gap and near the Dishes and found most fish in 12 to 16 FOW. Jig and shiner or Rainbow chub (no difference for us), Jig color varied green/chart, parrot, and pink/white were the best. I really enjoy Winnie and Northland resort was great to us.

Fished Thursday to Sunday. Fishing was great. Put a ton of fish in the boat and was able to go home with a limit. Released alot of big fish, being between 22 and 27 inches. Didn't keep anything over 16.5. Got BLOWN off the lake Saturday afternoon, that was crazy. But same as everyone else 11 to 16 feet, fished a small break around 15 feet. I had my best luck on a black jig. Also used some scented plastic tails with good success. Fish in front of High Banks the whole weekend. No reason to leave that area.
