Hello from Mort at Mort's Dock & RV Campground. Here's what is happening with fishing in my neck of the woods!

UPPER REDLAKE FISHING REPORT
HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!

* * * *


Friday am July 4 2008
Happy Independence Day!! Looks
like great weather on the way
this weekend. Plenty of wind
this past week has made for a
little tough fishing. There are
fish going when a person can
miss the windy conditions. The
walleye are being caught in the
5-7' depths, some deeper. Have
a fun but SAFE holiday!!

* * * *


Sunday am June 29 2008
The winds did kick in Friday and
by Saturday afternoon really went
wild (30 to 40 mph) and still 15-
18 mph today. We also received 6
to 7 tenths of rain. So...Mother
Nature saved some walleye keeping
fishermen off the lake (some river
fishing went on but most are slot
fish). Perhaps some boats may get
out around the lake today but I
don't expect great fishing for a
day or two when the lake settles
down a little. The weather this
week sounds pretty good if the
winds can cooperate!

* * * *


Friday am June 27 2008
A nice day yesterday with offshore
winds made for some good fishing on
the south shore. Decent numbers of
"keeper" size walleye and crappie
coming off the rock pile west. Of
course the weekend is rolling in so
the weather forecast does not sound
the greatest. Showers and wind are
predicted later today and again for
tomorrow, guess we'll see!

* * * *


Tuesday am June 24 2008
After some good fishing last week
the winds went north all weekend.
This slowed up the traffic and the
fish on the south shore as the lake
was quite stirred up. The wind went
SW all day yesterday and the walleye
fishing really picked up by after-
noon and evening. A lot of limits
came off of keeper size "eyes" but
not many crappie reported. Big pike
are still being caught occasionally.

Thursday am June 19 2008
We are finally getting some calm
days and temps are warming up. It
sounds like a very nice weekend
forecast. The walleye fishing has
continued to be strong in shallow
water 3-7'. In front of the rivers
and streams and especially along
the SE and East shores have given
up a lot of keeper and slot fish.
A few crappies still coming in and
quite a few nice pike reports.

* * * *


Sunday am June 15 2008
Happy Father's Day to all the Dads
out there!! After a couple days of
strong WSW winds and squalls last
night today brings a cold front &
NW winds. Looks like a good day to
settle in, relax, maybe see if any
one can shoot down Tiger Woods at
the US Open!? The forecast sounds
as though we may finally get some
mid-70's this week. Fishing was a
little like the weather again, up
& down. Some boats finding good
action, others just sheephead! It
looks that some of the best action
is where the heavier waterflow by
rivers, creeks and ditches have
baitfish congregations.

Friday am Juyne 13 2008
The fishing this week has been like
the weather-unstable. We have had
squalls work through the area most
of the week with last night having
the most thunderstorm activity. It
seems some boats find good walleye
success while others struggle to
get their fish. There are still a
few crappie showing up and large
pike here and there. While there
are quite a few fish shallow 3-7'
I think some fish will be found a
little deeper now.

* * * *


Monday June 9 2008
Friday and Saturday the WSW winds
made the fishing a little interest-
ing. Some hit the rivers for action
but those working the shallows had
the best "keeper" success. The wind
layed down nicely Sunday and there
were a lot of people hitting walleye
and some crappie going also. The only
thing biting better than walleye were
the freshwater drum (Sheephead) which
made for very good minnow sales. The
forecast this week is somewhat up and
down with showers and such, we'll see
how things shape up as we go along!

Thursday am June 5 2008
It sounds like may be on the edge of
some wet weather tonight and part of
tomorrow but the winds are supposed
to go south by late Friday. We hope
the easterly winds will not be able
to get the lake stirred up to slow
the bite. The walleye continue to
be strong and I am seeing bigger
numbers of crappie coming in off
south shore as water temps climb .
We have had several 42" plus pike
come in the last few days also.

Monday am June 2 2008
We ended up with much nicer weather
than predicted for Sat-Sun. The lake
was calm most of the time and fishing
very good for most. Plenty of keepers
and a lot of slot walleyes providing
the action. There were some crappies
coming in from both the rock humps &
shallows. Some good pike action also
with a 42" being the largest report.
Most fishermen are still working the
4 to 7 foot depths with success.

* * * *


Thursday eve May 29 2008
We had southerly winds most of the day so
we had quite a few boats go out today. The
rain moved in and chased most off by 4:30.
Quite a few walleye were caught, both slot
and keeper size. Seeing a few more crappie
coming in off the rock piles and shallows
this week. I think it will only get better
as the water temps flirt with 60 degrees
plus. Sounds a little damp for Friday but
SW winds may heat things up Saturday!

* * * *


Memorial Day pm 2008
It's been said "a bad day fishing
beats a good day at work",(but a
good day of fishing beats a bad
one). Many people had good fishing
days of late. With offshore winds
Saturday and most of Sunday plenty
of boats hit the south shore with
a very good walleye bite going on.
There were some crappie picked up
and some nice pike too. With temps
running two plus weeks behind there
may be a decent crappie bite well
into June along with the walleye
action if we can get seasonable
southerly winds for more than a
day or two at a time!

* * * *


Saturday May 24 2008
Looks like another nice day here
so far with the winds supposed to
get a little gusty later today.
The walleye fishing continues to
be good and some crappie coming
off the south shore shallows and
rock humps this week. Showers &
windy tonight-tomorrow am then
SW winds, so Sunday afternoon is
sounding pretty good again. Have
a FUN BUT SAFE MEMORIAL WEEKEND!!

* * * *


Wednesday eve May 21 2008
We have had plenty of wind this
week which has not helped the
crappie bite. The walleye action
has been good though. It sounds
like a warm-up for the weekend
so perhaps some southerly winds?
We look to get a couple nice days
for the long Memorial Weekend, so
lets hope the weather guys get it
somewhat right!!!

* * * *


Sunday am May 18 2008
After a decent week of weather and
some good walleye & crappie action
Mother Nature decided to show just
who is boss! Friday the winds went
hard west then shifted north for
all day Saturday with one squall
after another and gusts up to 45
mph! Obviously the rivers and the
creeks became popular and provided
some pretty good walleye action.
The winds are laying down nicely
this am (of course it's Sunday!)
so hopefully we can break out of
this weather pattern soon??!!

Thursday May 15 2008
The forecast doesn't sound too
bad with sw winds blowing in a
little warmer air tomorrow. The
walleye and crappie continue to
bite when the winds have allowed
people to get out. With the cool
water temps I think the slabbers
will bite off and on for several
weeks yet. I haven't heard many
pike being caught but most are
after the "eyes" and slabs.

* * * *


Sunday eve May 11 2008
What a difference a day can make!
Friday was a nice spring day, we
had several boats come in with a
limit of crappies. Saturday gave
us some tough conditions, north
winds and rain-snow most of the
time. The walleye were biting
real well for those that braved
the weather with the cleaning
house being quite busy. Today
turned into another very nice
day with calm winds and again
quite a few success stories. A
warm up supposed to make our
way by weeks end, we're ready!

* * * *


Friday am May 9 2008
We are ready for opener, now we
hope the weather cooperates. It
sounds like mid-50's and winds
NE around 10 mph. If the winds
can stay 10 or less people can
dress for the cooler temps and
occaisional shower!? The "eyes"
are biting great guns and some
crappies coming in from the
shallows and rocks. GOOD LUCK
TO EVERYONE this opener and be
sure to STAY SAFE!!!

Wednesday eve May 7 2008
We are finally getting a little
spring again. While not 70's we
have had some nice days lately.
The suckers are running again,
the pike & walleye are trying
to wrap up their spawn. Sounds
as though the "eyes" are biting
in the lake already according
to "crappie fishermen". It was
hectic here with little spring
to work with, but we have the
lodge, campground and launch
ready for opener! Water levels
continue to improve with runoff
from the last snow in April. The
weather sounds fair for Saturday
just not sure what sort of wind
we will have yet. Check back!!!

* * * *


Saturday May 3 2008
The ice finally left us early
yesterday as the strong winds
kicked in. The forecast still
sounds like mid to upper 60's
this week so hopefully that'll
continue through opener! The
lake level is still low but is
coming up some as the snow melt
runoff has the creeks in good
shape right now. Stay tuned!!!

* * * *


Thursday May 1 2008
It is starting to look good for
ice out before opener here on
Upper Red. The strong east wind
the last couple days have pushed
a lot of the ice to the west end.
There is now a lot of open water
and even a couple boats sneaking
out of the Tamarac River. With a
late spring spawn patterns are a
little behind, pike and walleye
are running again. Today was the
opener of sucker fishing but they
are not showing up in big numbers
quite yet. Sounds like 60's will
be quite prominent in the forecast
next week, not sure yet just what
will be in store for the walleye
opener 2008. Keep checking in!!!

* * * *


Tuesday am, April 29 2008
We ended up with appox. 8" of new
snow last weekend & 12 degrees at
6 am yesterday. Needless to say
the ice is holding tough. We need
some warm south winds to get the
ice off. I think it will be off
by opener, perhaps just barely.
It is hard to tell just what the
lake levels will be but any precip
the next couple weeks will help!!

* * * *


Saturday April 26 2008
I can truly say that I can not
see the ice any more (Oh I'm
sure it's still out there), but
with heavy snow and strong wind
we just can't see out onto the
lake. Spring took a 'lil detour
this weekend. We can use the
moisture but most of us would
rather it was rain this time of
year. Sounds more springlike
by mid-week, stay tuned!

Tuesday April 22 2008
We have had a small gap of open
water out front since Sunday. I
think the main ice pack will be
hanging around a while (at least
until the next warm spell with
some wind). We are starting to
see pike, walleye and suckers
moving up the creeks so spring
is begining to take hold. We'll
keep giving you updates!

Saturday April 19 2008
It sounds like another 60 degree
and sunny day. The shoreline is
getting pretty spongy so today
is the final day for ATV access.
This is almost 3 weeks longer
than last year, but now is time
to "think spring". Another BIG
THANK YOU to all the ice anglers
that came up this winter. Hope
to see you this summer sometime.
We will give you updates as to
ice out & other spring issues!

TAX DAY 2008

* * * *


Tuesday April 15 2008
Tax day cometh but winter won't
go! We had some wet snow Friday
but spring may sneak in with
warm temps and strong south wind.
While we are still open to ATV
traffic it will not be for much
longer. There has been plenty of
walleye action, some nice perch
and just scattered crappie bite!
