Here's what the experts have to say about fishing on Ball Club Lake. "Renowned as an excellent panfish lake, Big Ball Club also provides some nice northern pike, hefty walleye and big largemouth bass. The lake has a reputation for producing crappies in the 1-1/2 to 2 pound range and bluegills in the 1 to 1-1/2 pound range. Trophy walleye are available with the average fishing going 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 pounds. They are usually caught by working the various points and other walleye structure, including the sandbars on the south end of the lake. Try working off the large point (Cook's Point); the Ball Club River outlet; and the creek on the southeast shoreline. Action heats up in June with minnows being the preferred bait earlier and leeches later in the summer. Northern fishing can yield some 3-1/2 to 20 pound-plus fish with an occasional muskie. Shoreline dropoffs along the lake's cattails are productive as are the weedbeds near the sandbars on the south end. For largemouth bass and panfish, try working the bulrushes and weedbeds. Ball Club's sandy bottom and deep, cold water provides excellent tasting fish year round.
Fishing Report
FISHING REPORT; July >>>>>
Water temps are in upper 60s - low 70 at this time.
Walleye are moving into deep water 18-20ft. This trend should last through the summer. Lindy rigged leeches with floating jig heads will produce great walleye through out this warmer period. We are catching many walleye 18 inches at this time.
Perch and Pike are shallow to 12 ft. Nice Pike are being caught on spoons or live sucker minnows. Perch are chasing a variety of baits and can also be sight fished on calm days in 2-5 feet of water.
I always share the latest GPS info with my customers.
