The Northwest Angle and islands still are experiencing excellent fishing for multiple species. Walleye limits are been filled left and right in various depths of water (10 to 12 feet and 22 to 26 feet). A 3/8-ounce gold or orange jig is your best bet. On the south side of the lake, anchor in 30 to 32 feet of water and use a brightly colored jig with a leech or minnow and get ready to catch your limit of walleye. Spots to try are just outside of Pine Island, Morris Point and Zippel Bay.  Bright-colored jigs and spinner rigs tipped with minnows continue to produce walleyes in 28 to 30 feet around Pine Island, Lighthouse Gap, Zippel Bay, Long Point, and Graceton Beach.
