We saw a lot of boats struggling to get some perch action today. So I decided to post for the 1st time in years to help my fellow anglers. The BIGGEST difference for us today = 90% of all the fish were caught using a sinker and a hook tipped with a "Butter Worm" !!! Transition area's, 14 - 16', bait within 6 - 8"s off the bottom! Bobbers with same rig and red worm caught a couple. When the wind died down the fish had lock jaw.
See ya on the lake ... tight lines !
P.S. average size was 10.5"

Hey all, random question and I think I know the answer but I am somewhat new to the area and never fished Bago. I am a walleye fisherman and am just wondering how this fishery is throughout the year into ice fishing.. Looks like its good for trolling cranks right now or harnesses/blade rigs etc., as expected on big water this time of year. Again, kind of a weird ask, but just wondering how the fishery is throughout the year, into winter, mainly for walleye. TIA!
g2868, the EAA won’t affect your opportunity to fish. I’ve fished often during EAA week without any problems. You may notice a little more traffic on the roads and some back ups if you get near the EAA grounds. As a bonus you will often see some of the planes out over the water.
Phish... I was out yesterday and had no problems. They are gone for now, but I would grab some worms instead of trolling. Try the reefs and just off the side of them. Sheepshead and Perch are around them. Heads up.. the middle is starting to get green and smells when you get near it.
Can anyone tell me how the lake flies have been on Bago? Last time i was out they were horrible.
Looking to take my 8 year old nephew out for his first time on Bago, and don't want to discourage him from going again in the future, do to those flies.
We'll be launching outta Stockbridge and trolling the area for anything he can reel in. As long as it's a fish, he don't care what type it is.
Thanks for any info about the flies.
