| Heading to Monument Bay.
Any word on where to start concentrating? Weeds, rocks, rock/weed combos.
I figured you guys could help me lower the learning curve if you have been up there.

Location: N.W. Ontario | In the northern end of the lake rock/weed combos have been best for me up to now and with the warm weather lately they should be getting more aggressive by the day.
Good luck on your trip!

| Tip,
Get the Labatts Maximum Ice, it weighs in at 7.5% alcohol, the most bang for your buck. The "natives" up there turned me on to it, good stuff with a punch!

| Thanks Komer. I knew you were good for something.
We will have to do that. 7 nights at Monument Bay, we need to get the most bang for our buck.
Beauty of it is, there are 4 of us, but 2 don't drink.
So considering we can bring in 4 cases, that leave 2 cases a piece for me and my buddy.
Hmm, let's do some math, 48 beers each divided by 7 nights, that's 6.8 beers each per night. My buddy is a light weight, so I can probably have some of his.
Sweet, with the 7.5% alcohol in that beer, it's like getting 2 cases for the price of one.
I might not have to head back to Young's Bay to get more beer after all.

Location: Madison, WI | I did very well up there the first week in July. The standard west facing sandy bays full of cabbage should not be ignored. Weed/rock combination were also very good. Specifically where the weeds ended and the rocks started. You won't have to go far, the best bite was in Monument Bay!! I also did very well fishing the big narrows. Be sure and check out a couple spots in Outer and Portage Bay. Close and productive area's. I trashed a pacemaker while I was there and the topwater bite was really coming on when I left. Spinnerbaits were also holding their own (grinder & funky chicken). Water levels are closer to normal. I saw too many big fish to count. Totals for the week...boated 8 / raised 36. Good luck and have a great trip!! |
