Skunksville is the devil's reservoir that feeds on the negative energy of anglers' heart break when they fish all day and come up empty.

I was up there last week for a few hours targeting eye's and got the usual skunk but i always seem to run into that guy at the ramp who tells me about all the shit he just caught...haha.. Rumor has it there was a decent bass and pick bite. Monks is loaded with herring. Good luck out there

bottom bouncers w worm harness spinner shallow by day and topwater by night. livelined herring also work, place has good herring populationa and walleyes are plentyful, dont fish for them like a bass, you will get the skunk. You gotta fish minnesota style, do your homework

Eskimo hit the nail on the head. Yes there are eyes and musky and the usual suspects. However, it comes off as a moonscape. Last spring I silently kayaked the north shallow end. Not a single sign of life at all. Very odd in comparison to other lakes I've been on.

Never tried for walleye there but do great bass fishing there with totals in double digits.
