Lot's of SUPER fishing on Long Lake! Crappies & Bluegill are plentiful!!! You'll find them at various depths anywhere from 1-10' off the edge of the weeds. They like all types of bait and jigs!!!!! All colors are working right now, so if you have a favorite bait & method, go with it! Reports of nice small and large mouth Bass also coming in as well as some nice Walleye! Folks are using everything for Walleyes also! Some nice Northerns too! A few live bait notes, we are on the tail end of the leech season already according to our vendors and sucker minnow supply is scarce. We have plenty of everything else and it all works!!! Enjoy the continued Great fishing!
