September 29th Fishing Report

Fall fishing is in swing. Walleyes are hitting both spinner and jigs along Winnie’s prominent shorelines. The big lake does require playing the wind and some good electronics to find the spot on the spot. Enjoy the beautiful weather and setting the hook.

September 12th Fishing Report

Walleyes continue to be prominent on main shoreline pieces of structure all across the big lake. 6-8 ft of water when there is wind and clouds and 9-11 ft when things get calm and sunny. Spinners along with other trolling techniques have still been working. Photo courtesy Lake Winnie fishing guide Captain Jeff Johnson of Northern Drift Outfitters.

September 8th Fishing Report

Crappies in Cutfoot are showing life. Fish are being caught in 13-17ft of water. 1/16 ounce jigs fished vertical or on bobbers have been the ticket. It definitely feels like fall and fish across the lake are setting up on primary fall areas. Photo courtesy Captain Jeff Johnson of Northern Drift Outfitters. Your Lake Winnie fishing guide.
