Ste anne & devils lake...what a joke!!

[PINEHURST-PIKE-FREAK]

Seen 3 fish come up between the 2 lakes!! Lesson learned!

[brohymn2]

Maybe it's you not the lake

[Astrocyte]

We just came back from St. Anne. Went to Yellowstone by the big weed bed, 10-12 feet of water. Caught a bunch of small hammer handle jack and 2 walleye. Bite came in waves, every half hour or so. Did not see any whites.

The fish are there.

[EZM]

strange .......... I was at St.Anne a few weeks ago (about 6-7 of us) and we all caught fish. Quite a few actually. All average to small though.

Have not been to Devils this season, but that lake is pretty good too - ussually quite a few fish throughout the day. Lot's of small hammer handles and the occasional decent perch.

[trkrstu]

I was at Devils lake and caught 50 cm pike while looking for whitefish. So it depends on the day if you get a bite or not. My lures were very small and I still caught the pike. Just not keepers.

[PINEHURST-PIKE-FREAK]

great reports of minnows!
guess me and the other fisherman just suck ,cause its tough to caught pike

[PINEHURST-PIKE-FREAK]

drop a hook hot shot:test:

[SNAPFisher]

Going to St Anne for the first time this morning. I'll report back.

Maybe you need to have as much "hook in water" time as posting on forum time. Could increase your chance of success :)

Oh I see you are looking for a specific size to count as catching something. No st anne and Devils do not produce constant numbers of massive sized fish. Best to avoid them in that case.

Lesson learned??? You had a bad day of fishing so your complaining and quiting? And your blaming the lakes?
Thats funny. No lesson learned here.
My biggest problem with Anne is that it's hard to fill my Class B Wallie tags because of all the pike that bite and all the A Class Walleye caught.

If you would've read the part where I wrote that I talked to several fisherman you might have understood that the fishing was poor for everyone at Ste Anne.I then went to devils lake,talked to a guy there fishing for perch and a tip up for pike and he said he was there for over 2hrs and not a bite in 3 moves.He also said he had talked with others and it was about the same.

Actually I did read that part. Makes no difference. Sure fishing might have been slow but thats why they call it fishing and not catching.
I could give you at least 10 tips on how to fish Anne, starting with locations, baits, timeing and even the lucky Lac st Anne fishing song, but in the end if your going to blame the lake, then you really haven't learned the lesson.
I know a guy who got skunked at Pinehearst. He still went back again.

A long time ago I heard the quote" 10% of the fishermen catch 90% of the fish" I think this rings true. After many, many years of angling- patience and a great variety of lures works for me.

no tips needed here,been fishing my whole life and have landed numerous trophies from perch to blue marlin,from Costa Rica to the Yukon and from coast to coast.

[Freedom55]

I'd say that if a world class angler such as P-P-F says the lake is dead then surely the lake is dead.

Fishermen of his calibre don't get skunked.

Makes you kind of wish you were him.

Not.

Waste of time fishing those lakes ....

[powerbob]

yup crapppy lakes . don't bother

[livinthedream]

A friend is hammering jumbos this morn with less than 2' of water under the ice.He threw 8 in a bag and weighed it,over 13lbs!! What are they eating in such shallow water right now?

Why don't you just go fishing with your friend? He seems to know where there is some decent fishing.:)

[PINEHURST-PIKE-FREAK]

I'm lucky enough to have multiple contacts province wide,most of the good spots are 3-4hrs from me.Its not worth a 6-8hr drive in a day,I will go when I can stay 2-3 days.

[SNAPFisher]

As promised, reporting back. First time fishing Lac St Anne. It was a bust for whites for sure. Didn't see a one :(
My buddy saw 3 on the cam. I was sight fishing.

Pike though, caught 5 pretty quick. Single hook, no bait. One lost at the bottom of the hole. All while trying to catch whites. Switched to the cam and a jig and minnow and it was walleye time. Caught one walleye and I swear I thought it had a side fin loose/broken but as I grabbed it the other fish landed on my hand and it was burb sticking out of the walleye's gills. First time for me seeing that. And technically, 2 species on one hook :)

Not bad for a first time and a morning. Of course, the lake is dead and so is Devil's I hear. :sHa_sarcasticlol:

Hmmm, maybe you need to call them up...

[PINEHURST-PIKE-FREAK]

no need we are in contact when theres a hotspot,so far all the good spots are 3-4 hrs away.In the last few days I have info on 2 lakes with perch up to 2lbs and another with multiple pike in the teens,some over 20.Going next chance i can and spend 3-4 days! oooops had to edit,I forgot about the 6 walleye buddy got over 10lbs!

[sureshot]

Funny we were on Ste Ann yesterday and landed close to 30 fish. Today we have caught 16

all together they weighed 6lbs?

lol

[Talking moose]

Was out for an hr. Caught 4 fish. 3 small pike and a small eye. All on a tear drop loaded with maggots. Made the mistake of fishing within sight of the tavern. Here I sit! Lol.

[Dewey Cox]

So, what exactly are you trying to accomplish with this thread?
You're not coming across in the best light.

Why don't you head and stay for a year or 2. Oh wait. I forgot to mention your prowess. You didn't get skunked at a lake that is drop and catch fishing, you just didn't want to catch those "small" fish. The best thing about someone like you is I just have to comment, sit back, and watch you make an ___ of yourself.

[sureshot]

Funny considering my 1 eye was almost 4 lbs. Plus the kids don'tcare how big the fish are just as long as they are catching.

Glad you and the kids did well :)
Congrats!

I'm sure with what you are teaching them they might be able to help out our fellow "fisherman". He did ask for a lot of help on a lot of threads so your kids would be doing him a real solid.

[PINEHURST-PIKE-FREAK]

well i realize this lake has a zero limit,with hogs like the above mentioned fish I would measure length ,girth and photo beside a tape,then send the info off to get a replica of these trophies!!:bad_boys_20:

P-P-F the new W&F! The way this thread is going it might qualify for the next "Epic Thread"! This is too good!:sHa_shakeshout:

Wait...you wait for your contacts to tell you where and when to fish then turn around to say you have the smarts to catch the big ones? Seems to me your buddies are the ones that really know what they are doing.

Ok but I we are still waiting on these photos of giants that you have bragged up.

You remind me of a guy I worked with who would have stories off all these 180 inch deer he passed up yet only deer on his wall was 2 140 inch deer that he tried to claim were couse deer yet he had never hunted of Canada

Too much wild tv for some folks

This about sums it up!!! Buddy needs to dial it down a notch. I can wait for the big fishing trip, mostly for the pics of all the 2 pound perch, extremely common.

As do I. Wanna know what smells like bull**** in here?

[Opa]

p-p-f, do you drive a Dodge dually? Has it ever been mentioned to you that if bs were music, you would be directing the New York Philharmonic?

:party0052:

This is getting good. Can't wait to see who gets banned and how much longer it runs before beeing closed.

Both those lakes can be good at times. Just like any other lake, the right time and place ! Ohhh, and actualy knowing what your doing of course !

I wouldn't bother with Devils Lake though. Only good for killing an afternoon and getting out of the house.

I like going to St.Anne in the spring and catching 10 + Walleye in a couple hrs. Gotta try it for Whites one day. Hopefully next weekend cause my smoker has been getting bored.

[4thredneck]

no tips needed here,been fishing my whole life and have landed numerous trophies from perch to blue marlin,from Costa Rica to the Yukon and from coast to coast.

You been fishing or working, a lot of things are conflicting in your life. I'm thinking you need to go back under the bridge you came from.

[Brandon5555]

Just a mouthpiece

[YeeHaw]

Just got to know where and when to find the fish on St Anne. Been having a decent year so far, no where near as many walleye as in the summer, but still getting a fair amount every trip
