Default Gull &/or Sylvan Report

Just looking for an update on people that have been to Gull or Sylvan. I am heading out there tomorrow and was wondering which lake was procuding the best for whites.

thanks in advance.

Talked to my brother, fished at RR23 today and nailed whitefish, got his limit all over 20 inches.

Default sylvan

I tried Gull from 8Am till about 1 in the after noon and I have to say that that lake sucks. I have been there over half a dozen times in the last couple years and the most I ever caught was 4 fish. I went ther yesterday and the lake was murky and I only even saw 3 fish all that time.
I went to Sylvan and got there at 2:30 and before dark I had caught 15 whites and a burbot. Big difference than at ull. The fish were a lot smaller than you would get at gull but at least you have some action. I saw tons of them that didn't take the hook as well and one othe Burbot that didn't take.

"lake was murky"

Sorry to hear you had a slow day Nube. I haven't tried either lake but was leaning towards Gull for next weekend based solely on the fact its a bit further from town, may have to try Sylvan instead, even one day after work.

Is that lake (Gull) normally murky or is the burbot spawn starting up? I'd like to get a meal of burbot this winter, haven't got out for them yet.
