Anyone have any ideas of where to catch some large mouths on Tetonka. I have my brother coming down tonight and we are heading out there early Saturday morning. Thanks....

12FOW!!!

I've been catching some nice ones just off willow point. from the landing go out to 12 FOW turn left, as you pass willow point the break from 5-12 will become very sharp find the weed on the break. That is where some Bass are. The point straight across from best point is a spot where we have cought a 3lb Bass the last two days.

If you want some good fun troll a gold and orange Hot & Tot (The smaller size) in 12 fow. We had a super day out there today doing just that. We had a double of a 17.5" Walleye and a 27" Northern. The largest fish was a 31" Northern. We did catch Bass doing this also.

The day after a front went through and it was the best day on Tetonka this year. What's the deal with that?

You're gonna get a lot of tight lips on this one. The Ultimate Bass and Southern MN Bass tours will both be there in the next 6 weeks. You'll probably see some pre-fishing going on at every depth level over the next month and a half.

A 3# avg won't put you in the cash out there. Last year almost 22# won the S.M.B.T. (5 fish). It took almost 18# to take the bottom check. Good luck.

I was thinking of you today when I was on Tetonka. I may send you something if the patterns hold up.

I'm all ears!

I won't be able to make it out there until next weekend. Heading up to Waconia tomorrow and probably Friday.

Not every time. Madison in the Ultimate was humbling. Wind did us in. I would have that weighing in 20-14 on Lura would have put us in a little better Team of the Year position in the SMBT.

I saw pics of a 7-13 bass that came out of Tetonka over the weekend. (on another site) I guess it was weighed on a couple scales at Best Point and then released.

I think we are up by 7 to the next closest in the SMBT after 3 of 5 events. After that there is another 5 or 6 point difference. Crossing fingers that the luck holds up.

How is the bass fishing on Madison Lake? What type of weights normally win the tourneys that are held there? I haven't ever tried Madison for bass and was just curious as to what I could expect and if it is worth a shot.

Madison the last 3-4 years has been right around 15# on 5. Years before the winner was more like 18+ with many teams in the 15-17# range.

Yep, luck and the fact that the two-time reigning Champs split didn't hurt at all. tongue.gif (You'll be back next here LC, we'll be waiting to see who the partner is.)

Just wanted everyone to know that I took both of my younger brothers out to Tetonka on Saturday and we caught at least 40 bass, many 3.5 - 4.5lbs. It was a lot of fun. I agree with kato guy, you will need a at least a 4lb average to make the money on that lake. I would of been at around 21 lbs for my 5 biggest, and we only fished from 7am to around noon. This lake reminds me of clear lake in waseca years ago. I used to fish it a lot before I started fishing tournaments and we would catch numerous 4 - 5 lb bass every time out. Tetonka is my new favorite lake... Also, I gave my brother a lot of crap as we were fishing due to the fact that he had a 200 foot lot on the lake and sold it last year. Oh well...

I believe so, but not sure. Someone bought it that already had two other lots next to it.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
