Lake Gogebic
Fishing Report
Aug 7, 2023 – Lake Gogebic fishing has been very good for a mid summer report. Anglers are catching a variety of species. Most are working the weeds in 8 to 12ft. of water using crawlers and leeches catching bass, perch, walleye and northern with some panfish mixed in. Trollers are having great success running boards with stick baits for the suspended walleyes and using bottom bouncers with crawlers over the mud 22 to 26ft of water. Best of luck!

Oct 9, 2022 – Lake Gogebic report was a bit slower this week but still fair with mixed reports. Walleye anglers are still working the weeds and shorelines with sucker minnows and stick baits. Some of the better reports are from shore anglers using minnows during low light conditions. Others have had mixed catches of walleye, bass and northern with some nice perch still hitting crawlers. Grouse hunters are starting to move into the area with fair sightings, but still have a lot of leaves on yet. Fall colors have peaked with lots of people just enjoying a fall color tour. Best of luck. Barry (Bear) Drews at Bear`s Nine Pines Resort 906-842-3361.
Sept 9, 2022 – Lake Gogebic report is fair. Walleye action has slowed some with anglers reporting catches in the weeds using live bait and some trolling with planer boards over the mud. We are seeing mixed bag catches of perch, bass, northern and panfish mostly coming from 8 to 12 ft. in the weeds using crawlers and leeches. Some nice crappie catches have come in suspending over open water using small plastics. Fall colors are beginning to show and opening of bear season has hunters dealing with wind and high temps. Grouse season is coming on quickly as well with a few reports of coveys being seen but way to many leaves on the trees yet to get many positive sightings. Best of luck to all in the woods and on the water. Barry(Bear) Drews at Bears Nine Pines Resort 906-842-3361.
June 17, 2022 -Lake Gogebic fishing has been fair overall. We have had a lot of ups and downs with wide swings in weather from rain to wind and wide temperature swings causing the bite to be on and off. Minnows ,leeches and crawlers have all been working. Walleye, Northern and bass have all been active. Anglers have had success with a number of tactics drifting and jigging, trolling crawler harness`s and trolling planer boards with stick baits as well.

Mar 28, 2022 – Lake Gogebic is still in winter mode. Cold night temps has kept the snow firm on top in the mornings, but with any warm ups expect the snow to soften. Heavy snow and sleet in the past week means expect slush in most areas under the snow. Ice thickness remains the same, but use caution at this time of year as the conditions can change rapidly. Perch anglers are working the mud flats, but activity has been very light. Best of luck! Barry (Bear) Drews at Bear`s Nine Pines Resort 906-842-3361.
Jan 6, 2022 – Lake Gogebic travel conditions remain good with average of 10 inches of ice on the main lake and 10 to 15 inches of snow. Recent fresh snow and wind has caused some drifting also. The perch bite remains slow with anglers working 20 to 24ft. marking lots of fish but not biting very well. Walleye reports are mixed however very good reports have come in from both 6 to 8ft. and 25 to 27 ft. jigging and using tip ups. Best of luck!
