There are a few small lakes in the area that have been producing some nice eyes. Unfortunately I can't get my boat into them. My brother and his fishing partner were out Saturday night and ended up with 8 eyes some around 3-4 lbs. My cousin and a couple friends on another lake ended up catching 12 along with some really decent crappies and one 33" northern that put up a heck of a fight I guess. I went out once last weekend on a remote lake and scored a few northerns in the 3-4 pound range and had a decent walleye almost up to the boat but it got OFF . If the weather holds up this weekend I'm going to give a couple lakes a try. I've never fished in the fall. I usually switch to hunting but this year I'm gonna stay on the water. I seen a LOT of boats out on Tulaby lake last fall, I live like 2 miles from it so I gotta give it a shot. Does anyone have any experience fishing that lake in the fall?? Any tips they would like to give up grin.gif I'll post the results as I venture out through out the fall.

well as promised I would post some results. THey aren't that great we went out on Tulaby on Saturday and managed a couple eyes. We trolled back and forth just east of the river in I don't know how deep of water because my locater took a dump on me and now I need to find a new one. But I got bit off a few times by pike and we managed a couple 14-15"ers on crawlers and spinners. I'm heading out there again the next decent evening.

well we tried ol tulaby again on sunday morning. We pulled one decent eye, a football shaped 18"er, out of there in about 5-6' fow. We also got 5 northerns and a crappie that morning. We went out that evening and got the skunk. I don't know if it was the weather or what because I tell you that landing was empty for this time of year.

As promised I'll keep on posting results. Did REALLY well over the weekend on an area lake. First morning out we caught 16 eyes and probably just as many decent crappies as well as a few bullheads of course. Sunday we caught a dozen eyes and the biggest being a Fat 26"er my brother caught. We caught the fish on shoreline structure in varying depths. Anywhere from 8-30'. HA HA Can't wait for next weekend.

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      Sturgeon Fishing is Hot

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!
