Gull lake and Leech Lake Multi Species Fishing Report posted by Leisure Outdoor Adventures at less than a minute ago Tags: Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, Minnkota, Ranger Boats, St.croix, Trolling, Rigging This past week brought cooler temps to Minnesota. The slight drop in water temp really helped with the walleye fishing on Leech Lake!The past week had me on leech for two different walleye trips. The first was for Monster Walleye and the 2nd was for keeper fish for dinner! Walleyes on the main lake seem to be the most consistent thing going right now. Walleyes on the rocks seem to prefer spinners with crawlers and leeches moving fairly fast in the 1-1.5mph range. Best colors for the blades are gold, Chartreuse, and Green. Rig the spinners behind 1.5 oz bottom bouncers and start moving. Fish this week preferred a slight jigging motion to the spinner, often hitting it while the anglers were dropping the rod tip back towards the fish. Steamboat bay was the best thing going early in the week with limits of fish coming from 9-11ft of water on the windward side of shoreline points. Sand grass is well developed and the fish are feeding on crayfish. Bouncers or split shot rigs work well in these area's because of the amount of weeds on the bottom. A standard slip sinker will keep you frustrated with constant weeds. For bait, crawlers and leeches are working here too. Same rigs as described for the rocks are what we used Monday to catch a beautiful limit of leech lake walleyes for a fish fry later on. Fishing on leech is good and you can expect to have plenty of action with the Leisure Outdoor Adventure Team. Gull Lake Minnesota I had a chance to take a crew out on Gull Lake yesterday for a Multi Species "Action Trip". The fish were on fire down on the south end of the lake. Bass, Northern Pike and pan fish were biting! In the course of 6hrs on the water, our crew caught and released over a 100 fish of various species. There's nothing special about our technique here. Find a weed line near deeper water, mark a fish or two, and drop a minnow or cast a jig worm into the deep weed edge. The action is fun and non stop action. If anyone is looking for a day of NON STOP action, this is it! Get Hooked and and wore out with Leisure Outdoor Adventures on Gull. 855-LOA-HOOK Email & More Edit

Brainerd / Mille Lacs Area Fishing Report

Brainerd / Mille Lacs fishing Report posted by Leisure Outdoor Adventures at 37 minutes ago Tags: Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye, Minnkota, Ranger Boats, St.croix Rods, Lowrance Depth Finder, Light-tackle Fishing, Live Bait Catch of the Week Peggy Ford with a 29" Walleye fishing with Leisure Outdoor Adventures Gull Lake Fishing Report It was a busy weekend on the water with the beautiful weather in vacation land. Fishing in the Brainerd Lakes area has transitioned into summer patterns. The lakes have finally developed heavy weed lines and fish have transitioned into their summer locations. Water temps have reached the mid 70 deg marks and rising. Water levels continue to be higher than years past due to heavy rainfalls from the spring and early summer. Gull Lake is a fabulous walleye lake but even better multi species fishery. This time of year the walleye fishingtypically slows during the daylight hours. The Bass and Northern fishing is as good as it gets. Big bass andNorthern pike are well established on weed lines all across the lake in 10-15ft of water. The south end bays are where we fished with the Erickson family July 5th. The morning started out with a quick scan of possible walleyewaters. The walleyes on gull lake have been holding in the 18-25ft range off of the deep weed edges. On this morning very few fish were located, so without dropping a line we moved on to multi species. This proved to be the right thing to do. Our action was non stop for 3 plus hours. Jig worms, Crankbaits, Spinners, Slip Bobbers, and Top Water are techniques that will work when targeting these fish that are located on top of weedy/rocky flats on gull lake. The pike seem to be located right on the deep weed line waiting their prey. With 4 anglers in the boat, casting safely was not really a safe option, so we stuck to live bait rigging minnows on the weed lineand were rewarded with multiple catches of Pike, Bass, and panfish. The biggest Bass of the day was 19"s and our largest pike was just over the 30" mark. For constant rod bending action, it doesn't get any better than Gull Lake MN for multi species with Leisure Outdoor Adventures. Mille Lacs Lake report The Leisure Outdoor Adventure (LOA) guide team made a trip to Mille Lacs lake earlier in the week. With a steady SE wind we decided to launch the boats at the Red Door resort in the NE part of the lake. Fishing the north end of the lake always starts with a quick scan of the north end sand. To our surprise, the fish are still holding in this area. Night Crawlers on long leads are producing keeper size walleye and slot fish in the sand. Our best luck on this day occurred in 21-25ft of water just east of the Red Door resort. As the morning progressed and the fish become less active in the sand, the mud flats come to life. A quick boat ride out to one of our favorite flats proved to be the right adjustment. Within minutes, fish were located on the Lowrance depth finder. Mud flat fish are easy to find as they suspend 2-3 ft off the bottom consistently. They are usually located on top, on the drop, or off of the flat. On this day, the walleyes preferred the deep edges to slightly off of the flats. For this location, 1.5oz bottom bouncers and spinners tipped with night crawlers proved to be deadly. Speed and boat control are critical components to walleye fishing and its no different when fishing for spinners. Out walleyes wanted the spinners slow, .8 mph. Anything faster resulted in little action. Email & More

Leech Lake Walleye Fishing Report - 4th of July Weekend

Happy Independence Day from all of us at Leisure Outdoor Adventures.  Holy buckets the past weekend was a busy one for the L.O.A. crew.  We have been greeted with great weather the past week but with that warm temperatures we have had a huge mayfly hatch.  The walleyes, well, they are putting on the pounds chowing down on all the mayflies but we are still catching lots of big walleyes each trip along with some eaters.  The main lake rocks on Leech are putting out numbers of good eater fish and the Walker Bay Area is putting out the big ones.  Depending on wind and cloud cover we have been fishing 10 feet all the way down to 22 feet.  The rig bite on crawlers and Leeches seem to be putting the most fish in the boat along with pulling a spinner and bottom bouncer.

We had several boats out over the weekend and everyone had a great time on the water.  Here are photos from my boat over the weekend.

It's truly amazing the amount of big fish we have been catching on Leech Lake.  If you would like to share a boat with one of us at Leisure Outdoor Adventures contact us at 855-LOA-HOOK or visit us at www.LeisureOutdoorAdventures.com.
