Nothing new on Big Lake this week, so here is what anglers are posting from the lakes around Big Lake. They fish the same weather, and the pattern usually carries over.
Perch: 6–8 ft in the heaviest weeds, nothing deeper than 10 ft; perch are everywhere but running small — troll spinners tipped with minnows to find a school, then switch to a jig to size up. Keepers averaged about 10 1/4 inches, roughly one fish in a dozen. Water still 72 degrees; bring plenty of minnows, leeches did not out-fish them. Conditions summarized from the Aug 26 Jeff Sundin, The Early Bird Fishing Guide report — read it at the source link.
