Ive been doing some research and found that Big Marine has the potential for some pretty deacent northerns, but is there a walleye bit on this lake, i know there in there but ive never heard of anyone catching much of nothing. I got one wally a few years back trolling for northern, so, does anyone have any tips on pointerson where to start on this lake. I would really appreaciate it

The lake has a population of both, but tend to be small.. The lake has a very good population of pike, but again, good luck catching one over 3-5 lbs.

I was working there today, water clarity looked nice, seemed to be less houses on the lake than I would have expected. Might have to get out and fish there sometime, if only for the fast action of hammer handles  How's the bass population?

Bass population is quite good, but again, not run on the smaller side.. most tournaments I have fished in there it really only takes slightly larger than a 2 lb average to win. However one time I did weigh 17.5 lbs for 5 fish...

Big Marine is a very good bass lake...!! For walleye opener you might try dragging lindy's around the west side of that mid-lake island. There's some sand out there that hold fish early on. The shallower the better though, this early. Good luck !
