Lake Gogebic
The lake holds a healthy population of non-stocked walleye that maintains itself.
Walleye in this lake characteristically hold close to weedbeds, dropoffs, and especially in areas with both features. They are usually in shallow water during the post-spawn period and move towards the edge of deep holes as the water warms. The hungry post-spawn walleye respond to a variety of baits and methods, while jigging along edges becomes one of the most popular techniques later in the season. Try ¼ oz jigs with minnows early in the year, and leeches later in the year.
Portage Lake
Portage Lake is a consistent producer of big walleyes that remain active throughout the summer, partially because it can be tricky to pull fish out of the dense vegetation and structure of this shallow lake. This lake provides enough protection from anglers and other fish, as well as a plentiful food source, to allow many of them to reach trophy size.
Jigging (¼ oz jigs, 1/8 oz jigs, 1/16 oz jigs) is the just about the only way to get a hook in front of Portage Lake walleye once the vegetation comes in. The best setup is a long rod, sensitive, but with a strong backbone to jerk those wall hangers above any weeds and brush they could use to snap your line.
Pitching a jig tipped with a worm or leech into a weed pocket and twitching it until it settles to the bottom is one effective technique. Keep twitching it, on and off, for a few minutes before moving on.......more
