Cold lake labour day weekend
Anyone going out that weekend? We will be camping for 5 nights
I can catch the lakers on downriggers, but looking for tips on walleye. Not looking for your secret spot, but tips on suspended fish. I want to try using my downriggers looking for the suspended walleye, lures or set-up of choice? I am not looking to jig for them but troll around areas that might be good Will be chasing lakers at times but arms can get tired reeling them in lol |
Been fishing this lake for over 20 years for lakers and some pike and never caught a walleye in the summer if you catch one please post

I’ll be out there Friday for 10 days. I may try pulling some cranks long lining behind some downriggers. Not sure. I’ll just be happy if the lake is somewhat calm for us. Camping in the provincial park
|
How does trolling cranks behind the riggers work? I have heard tell that the eyes dont the like the vibes they send out. Just curious what is the predominant bait in there?

Ha ha! Come on cat .....I said summer not spring ! Its easy to catch them in spring its summer that I can't find them . Lakers like eating them so they are hard to find. |

Happy hunting for the eyes... |
Didn’t bother the walleye but the trout were biting decently. Jigged up 35 from multiple spots but not a thing over
|
Roughly 25 lakers landed Saturday and Sunday. None over Saturday and 4 over Sunday. Biggest was 12lbs 3oz and all were released. Monday’s weather isn’t good but I hope to get out the rest of the week
|
Fished the north end of the lake sat/sun and had pretty steady action. Didn’t keep track but put around 40-50 fish in the boat. Biggest was about 65cm just wondering if that’s pretty standard for cold lake or if there’s much for bigger fish around?
It was also my first time fishing cold lake so overall I’m very happy with the weekend. |

Fishing east side of island is like a whole other world ! Deep water close to shore , hills , trees within sight. Very nice change. Lots of boats too

They have escaped for another year, fished a lot of areas and depths and caught fish everywhere but no big ones |
Lake sure is peaceful in September.....:)
Plus 24 too...... If I get a keeper I will post it up.....wish I could just keep and eat one 18" fish.... |
I agree about the keeping a smaller fish. I have heard that you used to be able to keep a smaller fish, not sure if that’s true or why it’s been changed... Anyone have any insight?

If I'm not mistaken they raised it 10cm a few years ago
