Do yellow labs keep the color of their noses?

Sorry i am used to huskys, their nose always turns a pinkish or a pink streak.. I did look a lot up about yellow labs for 2 years before i got Hunter and i read somewhere about pink noses are lacking pigmentation, so i been hoping his stays black lol

His looks like his nose is going to stay black. If people are looking for a yellow to be a show dog, the black nose is one of the things they will look for.

Looks like with the donations coming in from great people, I will again be attending the Bash. Thats if Steve will allow me to attend.

This time Steve I'm going for the biggest laker.

Thanks Kallista. cool.gif

Lakers, Tom? Were you fishing lakers last year? I could've sworn that was a smelt you caught. Biggest darn smelt ever reported in Burntside, too, Must've been all of 9 inches. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

Well, Kalli, it's a rare smelt on Burntside that gets to 9 inches these days. Most are from 3 to 5 because they're stunted. That makes Tom's 9-incher a bona fide Burntside trophy far less common than a 15-lb laker. grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

It's alright. This is just how we start working up enthusiasm for the fabled Bash. Kinda like trash talk before Vikings/Packers games. Uh, Tom, are you a Vikings fan, by chance? grin.gifgrin.gifgrin.gif

I'll keep tabs on a coupla big ones for ya, Skippers Kid. It was Frank's turn last time. Your turn this time. I've got a 12 with your name on it. I saw it swimming around in July. It had "Tom's Trout" written on its side.

C'mon Steve, set a date so we can book a whole motel this year! It also gives the wabbit time to prepare.

I need to top last years as well.

I was talking to the misses just this week whether she wants to go up and catch more lakers. I think the one she caught last year on the first day got her intrigued.

IMG_0764.jpg

The second day got her cold.

As for B-side smelt, here's a nice 5"er

Steve ole boy, I use to be a Queen fan but the last few years its hard to even listen to them. As far as the lakers go, I'm sure my smallest laker would have maybe had a small treat at best eating yours and thats if you even get that lucky and snag one. Northlander showed me where to catch the big Girls but I didnt want to show you up my first year.

Sorry but this year I'm going for the jugler.

Gang, the bash already has been set for Jan. 26. Cheffrey, nice smelt! grin.gif

Harvey, I hope you have some great luck this year. The smelt are really thick. If you're relying on Northlander for laker advice and locations you're in trouble. grin.gifgrin.gif

Steve

Please feel free to e-mail me your GPS cords for the better spots anytime. Thats probably worth at least a couple beers at the Wabbit.

Thank you SIR.

I think I'm going to have to try to make it this infamous Burntside Bash! I'm not super knowledgeable on lakers tho-so start sharing the secrets Ok? I do have a couple airplane jigs??!! Kalli, I want to snuggle that little Hunter of yours! I guess I'll have to wait to January right?

Lisa, you sure can get by with standard medium walleye tackle and walleye-sized lures on Burntside for lakers.

Meanwhile, look here. And using the search feature for the many other threads on winter inland laker fishing over the last few years will gain you more knowledge yet, since we've been discussing this at some length for the past four or five winters or so. Lots of great info scattered around.

And, of course, there'll be more to come as the Bash approaches. grin.gif

Well, it sounds like this is quite a get together. Guess I'll have to put it on the calendar. You let Finlanders into the bash, right?

Ken, what would a winter laker Bash be without Finlanders? That's like trying to do a road trip without gassing up. grin.gif

Lisa.. Hunter would love that..

Ken, i am Scottish and German and they let me in LOL

Nice to have a few with you all. Just watch out for that pole in the parking lot at the Wabbit when backing up LOL

I just moved back to Ely, so i am lacking winter fishing things.. I spent the last 4 years in phz az at mayo clinic there, so i don't even have a winter coat yet...lol

But next year..i will be fishing and catching all the big lakers.. I have 10 years on that lake, and now i need to re learn that lake.. Think i might have time over the summer.

But i will be there cheering you all on, and teasing you on the small catches lol...

Kalli,Tami,Hunter's Mommy,Whatever name you go by these days wink.gif(you really need to post why you chose your name under EXPLAIN YOUR NAME),

I am getting really pumped to meet all you FM'ers. I met a couple last spring at the Swap in Saginaw but I was only there for a few minutes. Now I just have to get a couple of things at Gander. I have already started buying some ice jigs. I bought something I haven't seen before called a Tiger Eye-The Original Glowing Glass Jig-they should work great but probably not on Burntside.

Lisa, one thing about Burntside ice lakers is that sometimes they really prefer small lures. That's why walleye-sized lures can work very well there, and some folks on this board have done very well at Bside Bashes using small jigs tipped with waxies and light line. On days when the bite seems shut down, small can be the best way to go. Lakers are, after all, trout (well, char). grin.gif

So what you're really saying is Lisa, don't break the bank getting all kinds of new lures-just look in your tackle box!

I hear ya Steve and thanks for the advice! I really need it! I also read the posts from you and Frank last year too. You guys rock!

Thanks, Lisa. Frank's the real longtime veteran at this game, having done it for decades, and he's been generous sharing his knowledge with FMers (including me). I'll be in my sixth winter icing lakers this time around, almost all of it on Burntside and hitting it hard every year (often with chunkytrout, who also sports much laker knowledge), winter and summer. Sure is a blast. grin.gif

Kallista, I cant believe that you started this post already. I think last year it didn't get rolling until after deer hunting. Well your forgiven what else can a person do with all this rain but dream of frozen lakes and lake trout. I sure hope I can make it this year. Last year I was all primed for it and then work got in the way.

We should get the governor up here. After icing lakers, I have no doubt he'd simply declare the last Saturday in January a state holiday.

      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!
    • PSU
      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
    • leech~~
      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!  
    • jim curlee
      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
