Balsam Lake

Fished friday night and saturday night. Ended up catching 1 walleye in the slot size and missed 4 jiggin worms at dusk. Tried various depths from 8' to 22'

Sorry to hear you missed 4, sometimes the fish just get the better of us.

yeah short bites. Even let them take it for a few seconds before setting the hook.

The bite on balsam has really slowed in the past week or so, fished Friday and sat... Caught 5 each day- 4 were in slot 6 were keepers, 2 were 22 inches, I throw everything back tho. The weed.ines and drop offs is were I had the luck. Jig head and grub is my go to set-up.

I was fishing humps on the opposite side of grand island from rosedale. Bottom bouncer with worms and then jigging with worms. What style grub would you suggest?

Regards,
Mark

Hi Mark, I was fishing the South end of grand island and across from the park area, I like 3/8 ounce jig and the 4 inch yum grubs, I will be out there this Friday evening and Saturday, I am in the red lund, tight lines.
