Kabetogama/Namakan Fishing Report 10/8/07
Lots of rain kept anglers off the lake for the most part, those donning their rain gear and jigging at 35' give or take did quite well.
The catch for walleyes, although good, frustrated many anglers when they have to release those over 17". Not a bad problem to have.
Many days anglers did real well for harvest size fish only to catch "big ones" same spot the next day. Oh well that's Fall fishing.
Lots of pike taken in the weedy bays and similar shorelines, catch seems to produce 2-6" for the most part.
Crappie action very hit and miss, angle for this species near the Ash River entrance and West Namakan.
There has been some shallow bite, under 15' for walleyes, but the deep water near the Martins, Blind Ash, Blunt Island and other sharp drop off structures seem to kick out the most fish.
Grouse hunting this past week rated as poor, scattered birds and lots of cover favors the grouse.
Bear still active, some registrations as the season winds down.
Bow and arrow nearly non-existent for deer and bear this past week.
Fall is a Wonderful Sports Season and Beautiful besides,
Have a Great Day!
