Ken's Tackle Fishing Report
Bite is BACK! in Otter Tail Lake Area
Fishing in the Otter Tail Lake area is beginning to pick up again! On the big lake, crawlers and spinners are doing the trick. Fish in 20 to 30 feet of water in the mid-lake humps. Here you'll catch ice 14 to 16" walleyes. Great size for dinner.
Pulling Rapalas after 8:00 p.m. in 8 to 10 feet of water is working well for the night bite.
Sunfish are doing well in 12 to 14 feet of water on Dead Lake. Crappies have been slower, but when caught it's in 18 feet of water.
Bass action has been good on most lakes. Here use BuzzBaits - they are working best!
Happy fishing! Give us a call at Ken's Tackle 218-495-2895 for the latest or check out www.KensTackle.com for fishing reports and shots of happy fishermen/women!

Ken's Tackle Fishing Report
Weather is Pushing the Fish Deeper.
Fishing has become more of a science these days as the weather is warming up. Warmer temps have pushed fisher deeper. Bottom Bouncers with spinners and crawlers or leeches are working the best. Walleyes are in the 15 to 25 foot range.
Sunfish bit has been good in 8 to 15 feet range. A slow troll will produce bigger sunfish.
Bass have been good using a weighted spinner bait. Chartreuse and white are the color of choice. #5 Rapala are working well in the evenings on Otter Tail Lake in 8 to 10 feet of water from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m.

Ken's Tackle Fishing Report
Here's the weekly fishing report!
Gary, Ken's Tackle
Walleye Tournaments are Going Great on Otter Tail Lake
Otter Tail Lake is having a great season for tournaments... and we have more coming up!
Fishing in the Otter Tail Lake area continues to be good. Bass bite on lakes is exceptional with artificial baits such as Sally Jigs or spinner baits.
Sunfish are picking up using Maynard skeeter bugs tipped with a wax worm or night crawler piece.
Walleyes are being caught using crawlers, leeches, redtails and suckers. Spinner rigs are working best with crawlers and leeches and a bottom bouncer.
Redtail and suckers work best on a jig or Lindy rigging. Depths have ranged from 8 feet to 25 feet depending on weather conditions. Rapalas are the answer for the later in the evening bite until around midnight on the flats of Otter Tail Lake, in 8 feet to 10 feet of water. The bite has been good in the evenings.
Sportsmen Tournament on Sunday was won by the Freidrichs / Kavanagh team with six fish weighing in for a total of 16 lbs, 2 oz. Go to www.kenstackle.com and on the Fishing Report page you will find the top 25 teams and stats. Great tournament with close results!
This week Scott's Tournament is June 18 & 19th, contact Scott Perala at 218-385-3390 for details.
The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea. Combine multiple calendars with Hotmail. Get busy.

Ken's Tackle Fishing Report
What a Bass Opener!
Many bass fishermen came back to Ken's Tackle with a big smile on their faces this weekend!
Bass fishing was great! We had a great weekend in weather, bass bite and over all fishing. What a great way to start the summer!
Sally Jigs, buzz baits and minnows were great as the bass were extremely active. You'll find many great bass lakes in our area, so check in with us and we'll do our best in putting you on to some bass.
Check out the Ken's Tackle website to see some bass strings. One group filled out within an hour! That's some action!
Jigs and minnows, crawlers and leeches are working the best these days. Depths range between 10 and 25 feet throughout the lake.
There is a crank bait bite in the evenings in only 8 feet of water on the flats of Otter Tail Lake. Yellow perch, purpledescent and blue have been the best colors. A # 5 Rapala shallow diver is working great.
Panfish are going well with wax worms, smaller crawlers or crappie minnows. Pink or white are great colors for the tackle side of things.
Otter Tail Lake is hosting another great tournament on June 13th. Contact Gary Harrington at 218-495-2226 for details.
Remember, practice catch and release so future generations can have as much fun as you are! Hope to see you soon at Ken's Tackle. Gary Peterson
