Lake of the Woods - Monday, July 31, 2006

Arnesen's reef is HOT right now!! Fished LOW 7/27-7/30, caught numerous fish over 22". Fish came on spinners or lindy's/floaters with crawlers on a 2oz bottom bouncer. Silver, gold, chartruce, white spinners were the best colors. Fish came from 32' outside the reefs up to about 20' on top of the reef, there are shallower spots on the reefs, but we didn't catch any shallower than maybe 18'. Boats seemed to congregate in the NE corner of Arnesen's reef, but we caught fish all over it. Biggest fish in my boat was 28" and 8.75#. We did see a few fish floating, but most people were doing a good job of reviving/releasing the slot/bigger fish. We didn't catch a fish on leeches or GULP. I did catch a few fish on deep diving Yo-Zuri crystal minnow in Perch color, 200' back on 10/2 Power Pro line.
