Its been tough tonight. Got here early, weather was amazing. Water like glass, then the winds picked up...cooled down fast.
The pulls were mostly 2 maybe 8 fish...1 of maybe 18. Nothing really good.
We pulled at the breakwall. Had info from the airport that they were getting about the same there. And the word from the Lester was nothing happening there.
So the run is very light still. But going home with some meals!

Hey all new to the threads, just an update for the upper north shore (Beaver Bay), went out tonight and three different groups from the hours of 8pm to midnight were skunked! In the past 3 weeks I've been out a few times and have caught a meal for two on each occasion.

Was out on PP on Thursday night. started at the break wall getting 3 - 6 a pull. Talked to Dave then headed to the airport. it was the same to a little slower there. Had a good time showing my young kids how it works, they were picking the smelt out of the net and yelling do it again dad! left with a few dozen and great memories. hoping to hear some good reports, and maybe make one more trip down this year. Unfortunately work this weekend but willing to pull and all nighter if the run is strong. looking forward to your reports! Thanks to all who post here and keep us all informed!

Tried out at PP by the airport. Was not worth the effort. Did however wet the new seine and with out it we wouldn’t have the 3 doz females we worked hard to get. We did net a 9-10lbs laker so the net was of extreme quality.But it is 53 degrees out and I really not ready for bed. Just wrapped up and headed to the Lester. I will let ya know what I find tho I don’t think it will be much. At the same token I don’t really care. So nice out here. Hope your enjoying it as much as me.
well Lester wasn’t producing a single sliver morsel... didn’t even suit up. Approximately 11 people were there. in the hour we were there we didn’t see one caught. Catch y’all on the next one.

Wife and I were out at airport same story as soknwet other than the laker being caught. I’m baffled... Good luck and safe fishing!!

I believe the dnr has reported that due to the materials used in making covid mask and the sheer number of those mask washed up on the shoreline the smelt were repelled from our beaches and the only hope for a better season next year is no more wearing mask outside and at the very very least make sure u don’t drop them. Till next season good luck everyone next year will be better!
