August 2nd Fishing Report

August 2, 2024

When visiting the Lake Winnie region, stocking up on 1/8 ounce tungsten jigs is highly recommended. Northland's 1/8 ounce tungsten jigs mimic the profile of a 1/16 ounce lead jig, offering exceptional versatility. They are effective for trolling, drifting at depths from 6 to 20 feet, and casting. Tungsten jigs are also easily visible on forward-facing sonar units. Adding plastic, chunks of nightcrawler, leeches, or minnows to these jigs enhances versatility, allowing for quick adjustments to target different species throughout the day. They are essential jigs for fishing Lake Winnie and Cutfoot Sioux right now.
