Anybody chase muskies out here after turn-over? I have been out earlier in the season here without much luck. Do they go deeper or hang out near remaining weeds?

I was out Saturday AM. Had 1 follow 40"+ on a jackpot. Had one 40"+ chase a 4"texas rigged senko up from about 10' while Bass fishing and had a tube bit off in about 3' near a dock. Again a good fish. Water temps were 52-54.

I have been duck hunting on willow point and see muskie fins every once in awhile pass through the decoys. I am waiting for them to take one down someday lol.

Matty, You can hunt the old township boundries but there are very limited spots and sometimes the neighbors get a bit pouty. Nice to hear from you, the goose you gave me was awsome. I will have a bit of venison for the lake gatherings this winter. I haven't made it to Mille lacs this fall or I would have called you. I will be out of town tomorrow night through Sunday evening deer hunting in Wisconson. There are about three to four hundred geese that where out in front of the cabin this past weekend over there! I also saw a few mallards and woodies, some goldeneyes and such. Talk to you later, have a great thanksgiving!

Oh yea you can hunt! 1st lake you can hunt the reeds out off the big mansion on the north end. It is 500 feet from the houses so it is legal.

Willow Point is huntable that is where I usually hunt. We had a good hunting out there this year. I was out there every weekend pretty much. Lots of divers. I even shot a really nice drake mallard that is getting mounted.

Third lake you can hunt the cattail point on the north end as well.

The cops have been called buy neighbors to people hunting willow point but the cops cannot do anything. It was even in the paper. They are following all rules and it is still legal to hunt it. I wish people would understand that.

Better hope I don't beat you to the spot first next season. I live just a couple blocks down. I am like a thief in the night getting out there.

BTW willow might not be huntable next season as the new resteraunt is a little closer. I don't know how they would measure it but I thought about stepping it out while out ice fishing with the GPS.

      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
