Snipe Update FINALLY!

Posted by northernangler on June 25, 2009 at 10:28 AM

Ok, so first off I'm apologizing for leaving it so incredibly long since my last post for Snipe Lake. I've been out quite a bit since. I went out the last two days (June 23rd and 24th). The first day the waves were a good 2 feet high and I only caught little scrapper pike that were anly 1.5 to 2 lbs at the most. This is quite different than in the spring when the smallest I caught was 4 lbs. Anyway, yesterday was a different story. We were picking off the odd pike that ranged from 1.5 lbs to 6 lbs. Once 6:30 hit we couldn't keep them off the line (trolling with a Len Thompson Red Devil). The pike started to slow about a bit by 8:00. This all took place about 50 yds from the weed beds. We crept into a bay amongst the weed beds and had perch start hitting our red devils. Josh switched to a smaller bright orange with brown head jig and I switched to a bright green jig. Literally almost every cast we had perch. They averaged around 1 lb. the biggest was close to 2 lbs. The odd pike made it's way onto the jigs but they were smaller than some of the perch we caught. we caught these guys until about 10:00. I've never had perch action like that before. We landed about 50 fish and had many more bites! What an absolute blast! I can gaurantee I'll be heading back soon.

Has anyone been out to Snipe recently. Heading out in the AM on Sunday 31st to see what we can get. Never fished the lake before have no idea where to go but its worth a try. Please advise on how the fishing is.
